Japan got their World Cup qualification campaign off to a very satisfying start during this international break, and we round up the 5-0 wins over Myanmar and Syria (not necessarily in that order) (to 16:45), before comparing notes on how the Asian Cup squad is shaping up, with some very difficult decisions looming for Hajime Moriyasu (to 31:00).

Then its back to J1 matters, as we hand out six more Player of the Season awards (to 53:40), and then wrap up the episode with an in-depth preview of the huge games coming at the top of the table (to 1:03:00) and in the Relegation Dogfight in J1 Matchday 33.
