The Levain Cup final scheduled for Saturday was postponed after a COVID-19 outbreak at Kashiwa Reysol, and Dan Orlowitz from The Japan Times guests to discuss the timeline of events from last week, and what the J.League might do in terms of shoehorning Kashiwa's postponed league fixtures and the rescheduled final in to an already epically busy fixture list.

We also chat about what lies ahead for Reysol's final opponents, FC Tokyo, as well as Kobe and Yokohama F.Marinos in the ACL bubble in Qatar beginning at the end of the month, and give our thoughts on a question on Kobe from a supporter on Patreon (to 41:25).

Then in Part 2 your regular co-hosts round up the top flight fixtures from the past week - we said we'd be brief, but we really weren't.
