excellent that you saw the other articles on http://tokyo2016today.com/2009/07/13/tokyo-2016-s... not sure about that masked player and The Green Hornet. maybe he wants an audition?

They have renamed themselves a few times including the '1969' in their team name and previously having Yomiuri in the name etc. not sure about the Verdy part. sounds like it could be for the green uniform. anyone else know for sure?

It's funny that you mentioned in that picture about the guy w/mask on and I said he looks like Kato from Green Hornet. Then i came upon this article: http://www.icv2.com/articles/news/15364.html Coincedience?...lol:)

I originally saw some of this article on friendfeed. And you were in one of their pictures, the one with you and two of the young ladies wi the 2016 yakatas. Don't really follow soccer that much. More of a football fan, being raised in Green Bay Wi, Go pack. We do have a MLS team in the area FC Dallas.
As usual looks like fun. That #20 from the other team probably had some type of facial injury so he needed the mask for protection. Actually it makes him look like Bruce Lees character Kato from the show " The Green Hornet" what do you think?

I wonder how the Tokyo Verdy team got their name, as their jerseys are green and "verdy" is the phonetic transcription of the Brazilian pronounciation of the word for green in Portuguese. Brazil, football, Brazilian-origin Japanese…
