I like it too.

For some reason I think they'll lose their pre-season match, but it will be a close call in a breathtaking match where their supporters will see their passion renewed.

The italian guy?
Just an averagely talented european player getting high cash to play ball. It's like the japanese are so low level to him it's too easy, hence his demo. I hope he gets his ass kicked by some talent that pushes him to his own limits.

For the moment though, this show has been very basic in ideas and scenario. Nothing really surprising happened. But I still like it because it's well presented and a nice time watching it.
