I am totally drained after watching that match. I don't think I will have the energy to watch another game for a considerable time. Sato's two chances, Nakazawa's point blank shot, Hanyu's shot clearance, I never seen so many chances not being taken. Credit to Korea, I have been somewhat...

If you are talking about True No10. whose vision and through-balls are the main weapons then with the progression of EPL type games, we will no doubt see the death of fantasistas. I think everyone here should read comic "Fantasista" - It asks what the defintion of fantasista - and the author...

Well lets put it this way, I am not a big fan of fitnessed based game. I have play the game from technical perspective, I was raised that way, and I see the game that way. I understand that in a modern game you got to be incredibly fit as a team to press opposition and win possession, but...

From watchin current Chinese NT, I cant imagine a single individual that can make Serie A. Actually they are good as a unit, and yet lack individual to break opposition. I will make reservation on their youngsters until I see them in Olympics next year, but right now, I am somewhat sceptical as...

Starting left back was Chiellini from what I remember. I saw the video and Cashiraghi had to make change because (1) Andreolli cant run - I am telling you I can honestly beat him in a 100m race and I am being dead serious here, and (2) Chievo leftback isnt really a CB at all. Hence, Cashiraghi...

Kaka makes many defenders look ordinary. 99% Serie A defenders looks crap against Kaka anyway. Anyway, whilst I like what I read on Criscito from Sateeh and Mark, I do not want him to START in what form what so ever at the start of season. Criscito has to earn his position. Andreolli hasnt...

I know PSG fan with those anti-semitic violence wasnt the cleverest in the world, but surely they werent THAT stupid. Did they forget George Weah played for them 12 years ago? :rofl: What a way to start my day Heinze better than Weah. I am already having a good laugh.:D :pint: BTW...

:rofl2: Got to love Bes. Never stop to entertain people with his wit.:D

COME ON JAPAN! LETS BEAT THOSE KOREANS I DONT GIVE A F**K ABOUT WINNING THE CUP OR NOT. BEAT KOREANS AND EVERYTHING WILL BE FORGOTTEN! Osim said he is going to leave out many stars for this game. The last time we played Korea neither of us fieled first team, with Zico deciding to...

Milan doesnt play with 3 defensive midfielders. Pirlo can never be considered as one. Yes he works hard considering his stamina, but he is hardly defensive juggernauts. Only play that sits in front of back 4 is Ambrosini. And Ambrosini is pretty good passer by his own standard. Even Rino doesnt...

You need DM for (1) Stopping opposition penetrating through the middle (2) Stop counter attacks. I don't people quite understand how difficult it is to make forward pass in professional game. The moment player receives the ball in advanced positon, you will see defensive midfielder...

Haha, her name is Leah Dizon. A lastest hot idol in Japan. She is actually an American. I wish my gf was as half as hot as her.:D

First of all, I think you have to find European takers. From what I hear, your players get serious sums, probably much better than what they will be getting playing for lesser leagues in Europe such as France, Belgium, Holland, etc. That is the only way you can progressively establish yourself...

As you mentioned, you got wonder whether they had enough in defence or defensive midfield to hold the team together and win it. But just imagine the prospect of Boban, Dragan Stoijkovic, Savicevic playing behind Boksic and Suker. We know, I would personally travel across the entire universe to...

Malek is unbelievable player. I reckon there isnt a better forward than him in Asia. Yasser gets all the goals like Inzaghi, but IMO Malek is the one who possess the creativity, movement, to unlock the defence. The reason I feared Malek is that he is extremely difficult to pick up. You can't...

There is no guaranteed that great young players make outstanding professionals, but Yugoslavian team could have won and WC and Euro in their prime. I remember them giving Argentina a real good run for money in 90 WC and only to be knocked out unluckily. If the team torn off half of its stars...

Can anyone give me some info on rivarly between Iraq and Saudi. My heart says Iraq, but I feel Saudi probably deserved more to win this tournament with string of impressive performances.

Sorry Atropos. You know I havent been too impressed by Saudi over last 7-8 years or so. I mean, last tournament you guys were knocked out in the Group Stage, not winning Gulf Cup, and as well as WC. And I thought you team performance was dire in that 3-0 defeat in the qualifiers. I know there is...

I have to say sorry to Saudi Arabia after I severely under-estimated having beaten them 3-0 in the qualifying round. I think it is a classic case of having 9 better players, but two striker is so good, that those 9 really doesnt matter at all. I am extremely disappointed to say the least that...

Come on Korea. Make this Japan vs Korea final. You can just imagine TV Asahi producers praying in front of some kind of mythical doll saying, "30-40% Ratings". Either way, I think Japan vs Korea, or Iraq vs Saudi are both outstanding fixture for AFC. If former you can imagine a big revenue...
