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.

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

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
