Lengthy newsletter today, running to almost 6,000 words and covering eight games from Spain, Germany, England and MLS.

The day has already started well with good results for J-League this morning ( sent to subscribers on Friday) , but was just as well as I had a bit of a nightmare yesterday !

Those JL1 notes are reproduced below as samples.

Sport Recife (see yesterday's preview) won 4-0 to land the free to view betting tip, not much excitement there as they were two up inside 20 minutes, three at the break, it is nice to avoid the sweat occasionally , just not as much fun as that 95th minute winner !
