Guest firetotheworks Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I've got Paraguay in my sweeps so wanted them to progress but feel sorry for Japan, they've been really good throughout and should be proud of their performances. I know people will w*** over Honda and some of their forwards but i've liked the die hard spirit of Tulio at the back and would like to see him in the Premiership. No idea of his age, looks around 30, one good move in him? I dunno if he'd be any good in the Premier League, but I like his style a lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We constantly play even less likeable teams. Germany, Argentina, Portugal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Decent run from both us and Japan, this sets up an interesting showdown for bragging rights in the Asian Cup in January. Add in the strongest China side ever, the Aussies, the Commies, and all the Middle-Eastern nations out for revenge, and this just might be the most interesting Asian Cup ever.

At least people probably turn up to games/don't get shot/etc etc. I think even from a neutral's standpoint it's the most interesting continental tournament anywhere save Euros as you literally have no idea who will win before it actually starts. South Korea/Japan/China/Australia and 2039489023854 random Arabs are all in with a chance. No nation has won more than three times, we haven't since 1960. Iraq won in 2007 which was an immense story considering their situation. You also get to see some absurd minnows like Turkmenistan or Vietnam come and play against established teams like Korea/Japan/Iran/Saudi Arabia, which is always interesting.

Taylor Swift Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 We really should have made it past the group stage in the last Asian Cup if our strikers bothered to shoot. Robson's fucked up our qualifying so we're not going to make it this time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like his passion also, everytime a goal went passed him during the game he would spazz out and punch the floor. It obviously pained him. Eiji is only 27, gonna' see a ton more of him I think.

I'd probably consider it the third best continental tournament. Asian teams always surprise me in their quality and entertainment. Most people would probably put ACoN above it, but I can't stand it every two years, just continues to show how far Africa still has to come from a footballing standpoint. Unfortunately, no way I'll be watching it, going to be going on from like 3 in the morning over here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
