I concur.It's the first time I've seen Owen named in an XI for ages. Owen is a skid mark on the club's history fact sheet. Didn't Sir Les score the last goal at Joker?

shameful tbh

I have nothing against your people, just how you go about playing football. You're basically accusing somebody of being anti-semetic just because they can't stand Tottenham Hotspur. Really, who's being prejudiced here Mr. "I always thought East Asians were racist"? Oh and you can accuse me of anything you want, but f*** tottenham hotspur and all tottenham supporters Wish there was a yarmulke smiley. 'mon the Aussies.

Japan - Syria. Ref said it was the Japanese player who touched the ball last, therefore Syrian attacker not offside. Rubbish decision tbh, and so was the penalty he gave Japan later in the game.

Yah, missed it while I was fixing lunch. Now that I see the repeat it was pretty awful defending by Australia, he was lone in the box. I agree, terrible defending. West Ham-esque. and again

terrible contest. bored to fuck

i hope it speedens up something at least

Really, who's being prejudiced here Mr. "I always thought East Asians were racist"? First of all, you're the one who said if you can't take the banter, to get out. I was going to add "ignorant" to the above comment, but decided against it. I kind of said a similar thing to raconteur there, but a little more harshly Lebanon didn't (and don't usually) qualify so I couldn't really give a shit who wins the tournament, and I wouldn't say that Lebanese money ever got us any favorable refs. A lot unlike WC2002

Never really cared much for S Korea footballing wise. Was always a neutral when it came to most of your games and even wanted you to beat Greece in the WC. Now that I know your true feelings, I will support anyone playing against S Korea with the power of a thousand suns always thought east asians were racist and sort of up themselves a bit. now i know it

Yep watched it yesterday, thought Iraq were unlucky as they played well and had the game well in hand but rubbish defending lost it. Iran not imprest with them, having said that they've had a good a good run against Iraq but whether it continues against them is open to question, the Iraq No10 looked canny but not sure where he normally plays. That would be Younes Mahmoud? Credited with their goal when it was actually the no.7's Emad. Iraq are a great attacking outfit

You won't win this tournament

2-0 at ht is very good for Qatar. Bruno Metsu has them playing well, but they could still throw it away 2nd half. 2 excellent goals btw

what a goal by Qatar! 1-0 on China

The thread title is retarded

Love how they sacked him in the middle of a major tournment Nasser Al Johar has been managing them at least once every 3 times they change a manager, he was their manager when they lost 8-0 to Germany in 2002. And replaced Milen Matchala in 2000 after being sacked after the first group game of the 2000 Asian Cup. He flies with the team, stays at a different hotel, and should shit hit the fan, he's your man. Simples.

What's Andre Ayew up to these days? Loved him in the world cup

Routledge looked amazing in the CCC last season. Still though for £500k its an option for when Jonas isn't producing. He's a much better footballer than Routledge. Scored more goals this season than Routledge has since leaving Palace! He's genuine Premier League class imo, everytime I watch him play he's sublime. Great allround winger and only 22. I'm with you on this one. If we miss out it would be a travesty.

Truly the stuff of dreams I have different types of dreams though

Was that before or after Plymouth scored in the first minute tonight? Huddersfield 3-2 up and it's not even half time

Let's say you could take a panel of senior players and coaches from the championship to rule over premiership incidents and vice versa. Less of an agenda to be biased then

You on crack? Taylor would be on his behind the entire game

Fuck the FA. I say it's the PFA or LMA that should review cases like this. How many in the FA played football? The other two consist of current pro's who are maybe in a better position to judge.

anyone catch iraq vs iran? by far the most superior match in terms of quality until now. it was all iraq throughout, but iran managed to nick it
