J2 Relegation Battle: Omiya Ardija vs Iwaki FC // 降格争い：大宮アルディージャvsいわきFC

Oooof, this is not what we were expecting...
Finally made it back to Omiya after first seeing them during the peak of the restrictions (which you can check out here: • Omiya Ardija (Trying P... ), and what a game to pick - Omiya at home against their closest relegation rival, with 3 points absolutely vital in their mission to stay up.
Last time we were here we had a lot of fun but felt that they needed a redo on their ratings now that things are back to normal and they can really show who they are. Have they gone up the table, or is their JLJ score matching their current league form? Have a look and let us know if we got it right or not!
Also, shoutout to the Omiya fans for always making us feel welcome and for giving us a great day out. We at JLJ are huge fans of the club and hope they smash the rest of the season 🐿️🧡

Shimizu’s サンバ隊 getting a shoutout…oowaaaay!🎉 Another great vlog lads!

[@SamSepiol1909]

Omiya Ardija was my first and only J League experience. This was back in 2017 and it was against FC Tokyo. Good times.

[@jleaguejourneys]

Great club, glad you got to see them!

[@JakeMcaulay]

These videos make me jealous that I have to wait till next year July to finally a J League match

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

Absolutely great vlog. Thank you for showcasing teams after covid and giving them a second chance. Chris the archbishop of Banterbury is correct definitely need a beer for something like this. Lolo tired face really sells that team is going down to J3.

[@jleaguejourneys]

Haha thanks pal, much appreciated.

[@deekarsan3417]

Great video!!! Love the emotion and support you always give to the home team! Needs a sax player you say??? ….. hold my beer!

[@jleaguejourneys]

Legend thanks mate. And yes we do need a sax player - you had any lessons yet?

[@yatakun]

Those moves at the end though the stuff of legends

[@jleaguejourneys]

Lmao I was trying to copy the cheerleaders and am waiting for my call up to their squad now - should be coming any day hopefully.

[@DrDres1]

Another class video as always, gents! It hurt me to see them disappoint you guys with their level of play on the pitch, however. I'm actually planning on going to Omiya's home game on Sunday August 6th, but hope to maybe see you guys at Saturday's game at Hiratsuka to watch Shonan Bellmare vs. Sanfrecce Hiroshima if boys plan on getting down there? Beers on me!

[@jleaguejourneys]

Nice one lad yes we will try and be there for the Bellmare game! Thanks for the invite!

[@버라이엄]

Good video thx

[@jleaguejourneys]

Thanks for watching!

Dying to get to a J league match

[@jleaguejourneys]

Soon brother!

[@brendanhunter389]

10/10 stadium honestly. Sad they will likely go down

[@jleaguejourneys]

They’ll need a miracle at this point to stay up. Hopefully they can do it

[@user-xt1zm4pj8j]

Omiya Ardija is a great club with one of the best financial resources in the J2 League and a soccer-specific stadium, but in recent years they have been in a slump and are at risk of being relegated to the J1 League instead of being promoted to the J1 League. I hope they return to the J1 League soon. I'm sorry that this match was disappointing.

[@jleaguejourneys]

Absolutely, really like them as a club. Fingers crossed they manage to turn things around soon eh.

[@RoxFontaine]

This is my team and i was able to go to 2 matches this year. (I live in NY.) This stadium is top tier, fans are top tier, the team... yikes.

[@jleaguejourneys]

Brilliant team. Hope they can stay up somehow!
