Guest Toonie Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 unrelated but why are 23 year old players such as Reo Coker and richardson allowed to play in the Under 21 team? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 unrelated but why are 23 year old players such as Reo Coker and richardson allowed to play in the Under 21 team? Because it depends when the qualifing started for each touranment, if you are under 21 when it started then you can play until the tournament is over.

Newcastle Fan Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 That boy can certainly hit a ball, and knows how to use his visa I think there's a few dodgy foreigners playing for the national teams of the likes of Qatar and the UAE A passport and a wad of cash go a long way Not UAE, but Qatar and Bahrain (us) We got two Nigerians playing in our national team ffs, and thats against the wish of the general football fans here, most people don't even want them in the team but when you have an FA that does everything from selecting the team formation to choosing wich players do and don't make it to the squad, there is really nothing we can do about it. Not only that, but the way we got them in our national team in the first place is illegal, and against the FIFA rules, but since Qatar have been doing it for 5 or 6 years now (at one stage they had a team of 8 africans, and only 3 qataris), and since they are backed by the Presidnet of the AFC (Mohammed Bin Hamam), any action taken against us will cause us to complain to the FIFA about them, wich will eventually cause a massive fiasco in the AFC, so lets all keep quite about this for a while, it will happen sooner or later anyway.

Guest ryunufc Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Indonesia will be lost tomorrow.... i am just f****** pessimistic going to lose all three, the worst group among the host nations. technically we improve rapidly in the past 5 years due to growing popularity of the football itself, i would say. to say it is decent is debatable. the atmosphere at the stadium can be extremely intimidating but it will not matter much since we are totally inferior in every area compared to the more experienced koreans and saudis. one tiny tiny reason for me to be cautiosly optimist for tomorrow is that we normally give our best effort in the first game, it is a fact ( i dont know, maybe the enthusiasm or something to do with the stamina). the bahrain team is probably their best ever, but it is the first game against the host, i fancy us to record our second win ever in the competition, although a heavy defeat is more likely...

Well i personally know some of the players in our national team, and can confirm that out of 25 players, AT LEAST 20 players smoke and have shit fitness, so you can't use "Lack of Stamina"as an excuse Keep a look out for some of Bahrain's defenders, i am not sure who is going to start tommorw but its our strong point, some fantastic defenders but all have the same weakness, wich is lack of concentration Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, we drew 1-1 in Trinidad then lost 1-0 at home, Dennis Lawrence scored a header with 13 mins to go, i was there and it was possibly the worst match i've ever been to, but honestly we didnt deserve to reach the WC, we drew our way all the way to the play-offs and almost to the WC, but our players peformence really dropped since that day and i still think your side stands a good chance of winning tommorw, didnt you call-up some Dutch players to play for your side in the tournment?
