While the Samurai Blue are fighting it out in Oman tonight, tomorrow marks the end of Nabisco Cup qualifying. FC Tokyo is currently tied w/ Oita for the second wildcard spot – check the last post in this blog for Lantis’ analysis of the overall scenario.
But, what better way to mark the last round of qualifying than a good ole’ Tokyo Derby? Verdy will “host” Tokyo at Kokuritsu, aka National Olympic Stadium. The rainy season has started, so there’s a 60% chance of the wet stuff coming down at kickoff, which will be lovely. In addition to that, I’m writing this post quickly so that I can hit the road to go shoot just after arriving home at 6 in the morning from shooting a friend’s DJ Event down in Koenji, after 3 straight days of shooting punk shows. Which means I’ll be going to the game (3PM kickoff) on something like no hours of sleep. Whee.
I predict a solid victory from Tokyo and that they’ll find themselves at the least comfortably in second place for the wildcard slots. I also predict I will be very, very tired.
