:D Got to follow your comment with a heck of long post. (Just take that as a jubilation)

:rofl2: Man your UAE team so bad in the first half, it was unreal. Anyway here is some of my intakes on the game. We moved the ball extremely well even our standards. The ball movement was outstanding, and Endo, who wasnt highly regarded by Zico, really showed his class and tactical...

No 11 for Iraq is a fantastic player. He took Lucas Neil and Bret Emerton to a Red District. Those were regular EPL players there. Full of class and composure in front of goal. Another lefty, no 5 dictates tempo of the play extremely well. And ball CB has the command of his defence. Most...

That is so yesterday's news.:D Papers say, after the match, Osim went beserk and called players bunch of amateurs. After Troussier and Zico, you can't fault Osim for a lack of character. Zico was soft as toilet tissue paper. Got to love Eastern Europeans. Results have been patchy to say the...

Its weird watching Uzbek's since most of their players are white. I love having them in the region, because they add diversity to the continent of Asia and make watching AFC a bit unique. They have always been my second favorite team. Kazak's used to belong to AFC as well, not so long ago...

What a match. Quality might not be the best, but the tempo and dedication of players are top class. Uzbek must be ruing their missed chances. :pint:

Forza Neved :touched: I would like to see our management giving Nedved a testimonial match at the end of season (if he is to retire, cuz I get a feeling great man might want to continue one more season if we make CL :D) with a match against the legends. Nedved deserves nothing less.

Razei :rofl2: Best attacker for Uzbeks

Del Piero not better than Dennis "I couldn't score against good defence" Bergkamp? You are talking out of your depth here. I could give you their relative goal scoring ratio, and on top career-achievement to validate my point, but since I am in a bad mood, I won't go there in detail. In...

I can't remember the names but there were 2-3 really technically gifted players who got that flair to cause troubles. I am not sure they are still playing, but given that Korean defence isn't as strong as they used to be, with their talisman Hong Myung-Bo retired, I think it is too early to...

Korea can't buy a win to beat Saudi. If my memory serves correct, they werent doubled both home and away in the WC qualifying group and comprehensively. I smell a big possible shock group stage knock-out to our dear rival, if there is to be any such shock. However finish second in that group...

Its hard to judge player by watching videos of U-23 matches, since tactics are different to club level, but I too sensed that Palladino might struggle for goal at the highest level. Using him as AM is definetely option, but I wonder how good his vision and passing would be to make him effective...

Palla isnt that young player anymore. I think he has reached a crossroad whereby he either makes it at the top level or he won't - at least playing consistent minute for a big club like Juve. My guess is Palla is good enough to be a rotational player, probably doesnt have enough to start on a...

Agreed. Anyone who has to play with Fontana, Cassani, Guana, I feel pity for them. How can you look good when opposition shoots from 40 yards, and you see 100 year old GK scrambling across in vain?

Got to love mark77. He makes this forum such good place to just visit and keep things in touch even when you are busy. I hope he got one or two more surprises to make us happy. A quality CB, and a more creative winger/playmaker would make my day! You know, Rafaelle Van der Vaart!:D...

I couldnt give a shit about where player's heart lies. They get paid handsome sum to play this game and do business. Management knows that, and more importantly players recognise that as well. My guess wih Chivu is that our management probably don't want to swallow up his huge contractual...

I beg to ask the same question. I personally thought Roma was going to break their cap and keep Chivu in their team, but if you let a 50+ year old senile woman run your club, I guess strange things can happen. Chivu is the shit anyhow. I like Andrade. He is street-wise clever in his...

Football players arent like normal employees. If you are running a business of 1000 people, then whether one capable person leaves or not, isnt much of big loss. However, there are only 20-22 players in FC, of which, you can claim 5 players or so can be regarded to be critical. If a team looses...

My hatred of Secco mainly stemmed from his "reputed" disputes with Didi Deschamp. Nothing against Secco but Didi has been my favorite player after Robby Baggio, and I thought he deserved more respected for the work he has put in for the club. However, with hindsight, I think his resignation was...

Trez :touched: I personally thought he was done with the club. I know I might be flamed for this, but I hope he stays at this club till end of his career, and have a good go at breaking Ale's goalscoring record. I ll eat my words, and say Secco is doing a good job. He has really upped his...
