Sean Carroll returns to the pod as we discuss a very eventful - and red card heavy - J1 Matchday 2.

We began with surprise leaders Kashiwa, the only team with a perfect record after two games, after they came from behind to beat nine-man Yokohama F.Marinos, and then move on to defending champions Kawasaki, who bounced back from their tonking at the hands of Yokohama in midweek by cruising past Kashima away from home (to 27:35).

Next we chat about all the drama from the Shizuoka Derby, with Shimizu painting the prefecture orange after beating nine-man Iwata 2-1, and then discuss a huge win for Gamba Osaka, and yet more frustration for Urawa, at Saitama Stadium (to 55:25). From there we move on to the four draws from the matchday, and finish with a look at what's to come in the week ahead.
