I wanted to take some time during the hiatus of the J League to present to you a joint project that I’ve been working on with Daniel VVN (@LakerByNature) and (@BlogGamba). Both of these gentlemen write their own blogs in English for the J League clubs they support; Daniel is a supporter for V-Varen Nagasaki and @BlogGamba supports Gamba Osaka. We are currently in the midst of assembling a comprehensive list of fellow J League Blogs in English in order to incorporate their links into our own separate blogs so below is just the raw data list.
There are 4 tables below, each containing the Twitter accounts and/or websites used to broadcast the J League in English to the rest of the world. We will first start with the J2 as that is the league where FC Ryukyu currently resides followed by the J1, J3 and then the important authors, websites, bloggers and pundits who cover the J League.
While this endeavor is far from complete, we’ve done the best we can to assemble this list with the hopes that you too will incorporate them into your J League experience. There are so many great writers and people covering the J League, who spend massive amounts of time, often with no compensation, to provide a glimpse into this footballing culture. I highly recommend you create a Twitter account, if you have not already done so, and begin compiling a list contained in these tables so you too can deepen your appreciation of the J league.
J2
J1
J3
There are some obvious gaps in each league as I was unable to locate any English Twitter accounts or blogs for some sides. Also, there are some that have not been updated in a few years so I did not bother to include them.
Twitter Accounts, Podcast, Websites and Authors you really need to follow
It is ultimately up to you how you use your Twitter account but if you do have one, or are thinking about creating one, I ‘d suggest creating lists to organize all these accounts. You can also subscribe to many pre-existing lists among the accounts listed above to reduce the amount of time it takes to set up one of your own if you wish.
Enjoy!
