From Osaka to Omar Marmoush, these are the football photos from around the world that got us all excited over the past few days…
The J.LEAGUE kicked off properly this weekend, which is absolutely excellent news for any Monday afternoon photo roundup fans. The images from these games are always out of this world. Just take this weekend’s Osaka derby.
