The J. League World Challenge is here! Yes, don’t you love it when preseason exhibition friendlies have notable branding names? It makes it all sound like the match has more meaning than it actually does. Still Liverpool FC are going to want this one, given what happened yesterday. Yokohama FM are likely going to get a fired up Liverpool team, as the Reds just fell 4-2 to AC Milan in Hong Kong. That was just brutal. .
