Ramblings of an Englishman

*Spoilers for Inazuma Eleven:Victory Road*  Man I guess all roads lead back to Inazuma Eleven. While my full thoughts on Victory Road will come likely at some point in the new year I wanted to make a quick stop to talk spoilers and future especially after the end of the story mode. As ever once the domestic tournament season is done we head to the international stage with Football Frontier International (FFI). There's been some leaks of the kit and badge so I wouldn't be shocked to see it as an expansion back later next year once the free updates for Ares & Orion come out. With that in mind we need to look towards what the team will be.  I've kept it for the moment to 16 although it may be more in the series with the bench rotating and locked per match and while their default positions are listed I think a few will chop and change as is what happens with FFI, in the first one we had Sakuma as a midfielder for large parts and most of the time Fubuki was back in defence a...

Back to it after a little while away we are back to draft the first part of the concept for the second Path of Glory series in the third and final series in this triology (and the ninth of ten parts). Where we last left off we saw that youth football in Japan was split in two those behind the Raimon manager and those behind this new antagonist for who should take over the reigns as head of the Japanese Youth Football Federation with battle lines drawn each man will hope for one thing, one of the teams backing them to win The Path To Glory.

With Japan winning the Football Frontier International all seems quiet in Japan. However, a new threat will soon emerage looking to wipe football of the face of the Earth. This will be the third and final season for Protagonist and all his friends and rivals so we will look to pull out all the stops in tribute to them when it comes to the world and teams created. Before we begin it is important to note two things. With the evolving landscape and win in an international tournament the general look to Japan and how popular football is there has an effect, the amount of school with football teams has grown massivly and even those beforehand with them and not in the Path to Glory (or that we have seen) that have been added to this tournament is huge to deal with demand so if we make reference to players from other school appearing suddenly when those school didn't exist in the first season. Secondly if you are starting at part eight please see the links below to the rest of the series:...
