J League is massively underrated imo. As a neutral, the games are ridiculously entertaining and the technical quality is crazy good.The technical level of (almost) all the players is way higher than people think. First touch, control, passing, and movement are consistently sharp. Many J league players are also surprisingly very two-footed, teams play proper passing football, and the league is genuinely competitive with no single team dominating, similar to the PL. Players like Mitoma didn’t magically become technical in Europe that foundation was already there.Only real downsides are the lack of physical challenges and the overall pace/tempo is slower compared to the PL or La Liga (naturally), but in terms of pure technique and team play, the J League clears its reputation easily. Think of a more technical version of the scottish league.
I liked watching Iniesta when he was bagging goals for Vissel Kobe, even thought he was 40 it still felt like his opponents on the pitch were little children. Also the J-League crowds are pretty sovl with all the flags, it looks like Bundesliga sometimes.

Seems to be a decent level of support too, attendances around the 20k mark
>>152703002>MLS at a crazy hour. Why should I watch that when I have MLS at a normal hour
>>152703299The J=League streams like 1 game per week for free on Youtube. Meanwhile for MLelShit you have to buy "Apple TV" to watch any games.
Every time
It's genuinely good, the only problem is that the hours and the fact they start around February are kind of inconvenient but apparently they are switching to regular August-May like Europe soon.
Teams are charismatic and fans are good, technical level is not that good though
