Hi,
I am from America and I was wondering if Japan is really into soccer. If so, what are there top teams and their names. Thanks!!:)

Truth is Japan is incomparably more into soccer than your country. :D

Here is the list of the pro teams:

J.LEAGUE OFFICIAL SITE

I can confirm with Mr. Nagoyankee native Japanese, that when I lived in Japan, soccer was a prime talked about event so definitely huge in Japan.

I believe it has only recently started to make in-roads in the US.

haha.. but most of my japanese friends really into europe top league teams~
the famous sport in Japan is baseball..

lol
 

Haha that's awesome. When does the season start out there?:)

do you call it soccer in japan?? tohugh it was football like in england ?

Indeed. Even Zico says teams like Kashima could do a good year here in Brazil. I like Nakata, very skillful.

Now where on the subject:
Is Japan participating in the world cup next year?

Mochiron! Japan is the second from group 1.
Japan and Australia have the greatest strenght from Asia and Oceania.

I love watching the J-League highlights on Eurosport. I support Glasgow Celtic though. I am a big fan of Shunsuke Nakamura but now he's left. Koki Mizuno is still there though :)
