After Japan scored late to beat Scotland 1-0 at Hampden Park, Jonny and Ben were delighted to welcome Ryo Nakagawara back to the pod to chat about the 'B Team' lineup, how the game progressed, and players who impressed, before we moved on to look ahead to the second friendly of the international break, against England at Wembley (to 59:00). Then we shifted to domestic matters, as Ryo gave us the lowdown on the four under 20 J1 players who have impressed in the early stages of the Chaos Energy J.League Cup , then we chatted about the two J1 games from the weekend and Ryo's overall thoughts on the CEJLC as we approach the halfway point of the half season. If you're not already, get following Ryo on Twitter/X and/or Bluesky .
