your for making me break out the wikipedia...

but before I get into the J-League, Ruud Van Nistelrooy's real name = Rutgerus Johannes Martinius van Nistelroij....

Vissel Kobe (D2) is dirived from Victory and Vessel, two english words, as you mentioned...
Júbilo Iwata (JL) is direct spanish meaning delightful...
S-Pulse is direct english...
Kyoto Purple Sanga is sanskrit and english, assuming the Japanese actually say "purple"...
Kashima Antlers is english again...
Yokohama F. Marinos is direct spanish...
Cerezo Osaka is direct spanish meaning cherry blossom...
Omiya Ardija is modified spanish for squirrel...

and thats about all I can take...

It's also a merger of two clubs - Yokohama Marinos and Yokohama Flugels.

It was good as well, I didn't have any idea that so many J-League team names derived from Spanish. So thank you for doing it, I was interested even if nobody else was.

I coulda sworn there was one from Italian, but perhaps I was thinking of the one derived from two latin words...crazy Japs...

If Croatia miss out on a place in the last 16, they will have to look at that penalty miss as the key moment of the tournament.

See you in an hour for Australia/Brazil?

bababui · 06-18-2006, 10:59 AM

I think Australia will. Both Croatia and Japan look anaemic on today's display.
