i quite impress with development of N. Korea and India since they participate in the challenge cup.. its a good effort by AFC..

Since i think Malaysia is among the lower half of AFC's developing nation, i think its good also if we participate in the Challenge Cup... but many are too proud to even consider that.. saying that competition are for losers..

i dont want to join that crappy tourney ffs

Hmm.. i think u dun understand what is "Emerging". I m not really remember, if i m not wrong, the Asia Cup 2004 and the Asia World Cup 2006 qualify round, North Korea still dun have any proper professional football player, they only bring doctor, teacher, technician n other non professional football player to play qualify.

Wouldn't it be better for regional champions to have auto qualification for the Asia Cup later. In Asia we already have East Asia Cup, Gulf Cup, South Asian Cup and AFF SEA cup beside qualification tourny? Made more sense as Malaysia being the regional champ would represent the region.

looks like the stadium are not filled up at all ...

Japan 1 - 1 Jordan



Saudi Arabia 1 - 2 Syria

awwwww.... jepun nampak neves. boleh ke ni?

kamera angle, padang, atmosphere perghhh world class macam tengok world cup

exactly..i noticed there was 0 representatives from SEA..i usually remember thailand always being in it but not this year..too many middle east teams btw..look at japans group..

but regarding the regional qualifications.where would that put australia?

Australia is in the mid of lobbying to join AFF. AFF Suzuki Cup will have a totally different dimension when thats happens...

i could be wrong, but Regional football federation is not recognized by AFC or FIFA. Thats why AFF Suzuki Cup matches only register as Rank A friendlies in FIFA ranking..

Betul ni..... mcm tgk World Cup... Jepun memang mcm ni sejak dulu, pass dan control good, tapi bila nak shoot xleh goal pula... tapi Jordan punya keeper memang bagus.

Only when Okazaki came in the momentum changed. I felt that Endo lack the courage to dictate the game from midfield.

let them join us i'd say. can only aid our football development IMO

i am in the opinion that AFF Cup is building up its prestige as the 'OURS' thing of South East Asian people. There are a special bragging rivalry tradition between Malaysia-Indonesia-Thailand-Singapore and Vietnam-Thailand-Laos-Myanmmar about winning that Cup.. i also liked how Laos and Philipines have the sipirit to close the gap which is not that far currently...

having a team of Mat Salleh coming in and robbing clean all the glory will taint that balance and make this region fall back into that loop of inferiority complex against the white masters..

hhmm...joining AFC is one thing, joining AFF is another. Like Alessandro said, it does seems the local bragging rights will be unbalanced. We already have debates on whether naturalization is appropriate or not, what more to say a whole team of outsiders to play...But what to do, Australia is closest to SEA if the AFC were to be divided into regions (SEA, East Asia, Gulf countries etc).

And i think your explanation on why Suzuki Cup is considered as Friendlies under FIFA is right, i dont think any other continent have regional tournaments like Asia.

Back to Asian Cup, Australia v India and South Korea v Bahrain tonight. Pretty clear cut on who SHOULD win, but as last night's matches show, upsets are very possible. On a personal note, i can only watch the first half of Australia match and gotta miss Korea's coz there's a company dinner that i had to attend, leaving at 5.30pm

Then happy dinner, but no worry, still got more match to come.


i guess Syria will use the same tactic like Jordan on their next match.

Premier League combo of Emerton - Cahill gets Australian their first goal in just 11 minutes. Cahill had another great looping header into the net but was deemed offside by the linesman.

Kewell got another goal, way way too much space for him left by the Indian defense.

while the bragging right is a nice thing to have, i care more about our football development. and i am in the opinion of to be better, you must be playing with the better players (the main reason i did not agree with the decision to stop the import players in our league). and right now, IMO we can only benefit from the opportunity to play against such quality team.

anyway, this is OT already
