There is a particular style of rabid and frenzied football (soccer) fanaticism that is usually associated with ↗British hooligans. But soccer is a popular worldwide sport and sports fanatics can be found in all corners of the world. This series is all about a group of Japanese football fanatics who both play on and support the ETU soccer team. So if you are not into the whole rabid sports scene, then you might want to avoid this one. But if you are, then this title is an intense ride as a hot Japanese soccer player returns from playing in England for many years to be the new coach. The ETU team that he returns to is one that he played on earlier, but there are those who still remember how one of their most promising players abandoned them and left to play in Europe. With a very adult storyline, Tatsumi proves to be an enigmatic and inscrutable character who just somehow dashes aside all of bad history and issues that are encumbering the ETU team, as he works to rebuild the rapport between the players and reestablish the faith of their dedicated but dispirited fans. I am not really into watching sports, so I don't know if I will be following this one. Last updated Monday, June 14 2010. Created Monday, June 14 2010. | ||||||||
