[New Feature] Japan Match "LINE-Style" Real-Time Commentary! Starting Lineup Alerts & Goal Alerts Delivered via LINE
Starting with the 6/15 match against the Netherlands, our "Real-Time Commentary Page" is launching. We'll deliver starting lineup alerts and bite-sized commentary in a LINE-style timeline. Add us as a friend on LINE and send "Commentary ON" to receive kick-off, goal, and final whistle alerts without even opening the page.
To coincide with the Japan × Netherlands match (kick off 05:00 on Monday 6/15 · Japan time), a "Real-Time Live Commentary Page" has launched on this site. Starting lineup breaking news and the editor's running commentary will be delivered in real time on a timeline styled like a LINE chat screen.
On top of that, simply add our LINE account as a friend and send "実況ON", and goal alerts will be delivered to you without even opening the page. This is a new feature designed to help you enjoy early-morning Japan matches without missing a moment.
