Finally someone from Japan. I've read lately (don't recall where) that soccer is the most popular sport right after baseball in Japan which kind of surprised me. I had no idea the Japanese were so fond of soccer  .
I know their coach is Italian and didn't get his joke anyway  Do I have to worry I'm taking it all too serious  |
I am an Ex-Pat who is settled, married and will always live in Japan. Yes, Football is the second biggest sport in Japan and is very popular after Baseball. I support the Sapporo team Consodole who is unfortunately in J2 the second division.
Some Japanese are also big fans of Seria A, Premiere league,, and other European leagues.
