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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Cant wait for the Semi-Finals! Saudi has been very strong in this tournament, and getting better all the time with arguably the best striking pair in the tournament (I thought Korea and Iran had the most potency but sorry Saudi I was totally wrong). Malek is one little tricky customer who...

Congrats on your progression Atropos.:) Your second goal was simply a joy to see. A little back hill, followed by 2 or 3, and what finish by Al Mousa (Spelling ?). However, I must say Uzbek was pretty unlucky themselves with that blatant goal disallowed. I mean Shatkikh must have about 3 or...

Quick notes on Iran vs Korea match. It was physical affair with not much chances happening for both teams. Korea seemed to have more possession, but Iran was more decisive. I thought No 12 for Iran was terrific. Good defender with excellent physique and ability to win headers in the air. But...

I agree. If Austrailia is going to participate on a long-term basis, we need to treat them as equals, not as outsiders trying to threaten us. I see to much hatred towards Aussie in this board alone, and many who thinks Austrailia is in the Asian Federation for easier ticket to WC. But ignore the...

Personally, I think Grella red card was debatable. He leaned his right arm forward almost punch-like motion. He didnt swing the fist, but the matter of fact is, it is not natural for players hand to contact other player's face. Was red card, justified? May be. Was it too harsh? May be. It wasnt...

I couldn't see the extra time because I had to go out for a drink so I was pleased to see the result when I got back home. The match was highly anticipated and boys were so determined to get their revenge. Some of the thoughts on the game. As I expected we dominated the majority of...

To be honest, I think full strenght Iran and Korea are evenly matched on paper. But there is no doubt in this Asian Cup Iran is definetely stronger of the two. And yet, I get this hunch. You know those betting hunch that tells you underdog can cause upset. Speaking of bad form, don't mention...

Well, I just said that for Ahmed.;) No seriously, if there was any team that could have troubled in that group it was UAE after their triumph in Gulf Cup. But they were shockingly bad in this tournament. It is not like they make WC every time. For them this is probably the biggest tournament...

I have to say we looked class apart in this year's tournament. Last time round, couple of teams gave us a real scare most notably Bahrain, but we are playing far better style now. But as I have said numerous times, current NT looks a bit short on defensive players. We conceded in every single...

Cant wait for the rematch of WC. That really was gut-wrenching defeat. If Konno Yasuyuki had the brain to (1) dive - for which he was clearly fouled, and (2) foul opposition to stop the play, the result could have changed dramatically. I feel we will beat Austrailia. Its a destiny.

Man those Koreans sneak through by the kind of their teath. Go Uzbek, and knock China out so that Iran can take their business against Korea as they always do.:D
