I’m surprised weir (jr) has gone and not dahoud as I thought weir was almost certainly going to be sold this summer
Unlike Dahoud ..?

Yep, it's reasonable in the UK, I think the two matches kick-off at 11am and 10:30am.

Not so much for me - 3am and 2:30am. I'm hoping they will be on a TV channel so I can record them (or if they are streamed, there is a way to watch them after the event).
I counted the wrong way :dunce:

One of the things about not announcing whether there is coverage is that there are some (and I know this will shock some here) who would actually have to book time off work in order to watch a match and can't just decide they fancy a two hour skive.

This act of booking time off, for most people needs a few days to get OK'd

I really don't see why they are so secretive in these matters

I tried to work out what hotel they were staying in so I could be an the ground reporter.

Turns out I have absolutely no idea what any of the hotels in Tokyo look like.
The GNLF P.I dectective agency is back in business!

Thanks to the second video of the team going for a walk I'm 99% confident the club are staying at the Ritz Carlton at Tokyo Midtown in Roppongi.

Seems like I could have a career in sleuthing after all.

I think they might help themselves a bit there,... Villarreal??... a bit meh... non descript Spanish team,... done that before... a bit more imagination required now that we have already hosted Roma, Marseille, AEK and Ajax.
Just had a reply from a Villarreal fan - he reckoned it’s a bit meh . . . a non descript English team, done that before.

Come on then, who would fit the bill? Real Madrid? Barcelona? Perhaps Bayern Munich or PSG? Let’s stay humble shall we. It’s a pre-season friendly to gauge the performance of our players in relation to team selection for the upcoming season. The game will be forgotten as soon we play our first PL fixture. :shrug:

I'm hoping tomorrow's video is the squad out at a team building exercise in one of the Roppongi karaoke bars.

A different nondescript team would be er, different.

Very, very different from the pictures I have somewhere that were taken on a Friday night in Roppongi :laugh:
I got lost in roppongi looking for my hotel, I must have passed the same pimp at least 3 times, he thought I was shopping around for some action :D

Slightly OT but are there kangaroos (or some equivalent) in Arizona and do they come out at night, like deer?
Coyotes are not strictly nocturnal but they are more active at night. Scorpions are nocturnal (haven't seen any in my house, but when I first moved out here I had a couple in the bathroom of the house I was staying in - decided it wasn't wise to use the bathroom in the dark after that).

Does anyone have a list of the squad that has travelled out?

The content on the YouTube website has been some of the best they've done - so much so that I'm recognising new faces in the group!
