i'm surprised to see INDIA qualify for this tournament..hope MY can do it on next attempt...

they qualified as the champions of AFC Challenge Cup 2008, a tournament for EMERGING nations

1st goal was a wonder goal..2nd goal was just sloppy from qatar..uzbeks deserved to win

i was very impressed with the camera angles and instant replays..felt like watching a WC match..dont remember it being this good in 2007

during qualifying, we were beaten 3-1 home and away by that Uzbekistan team... of course our team has improve by leaps and bounds since them.. but still the difference in terms of physical attribute was too obvious... thats the glass ceiling that hampers all south east asian team really..

A horrible performance by Qatar I would say. Not only that, the fact that the whole world is looking at their match, plus their promise of showing the world they are worthy to host the performance..they are certainly inviting criticism here. Plus the Emir of Qatar is present to watch, he won't be happy

last night goals



remind me of world cup 2006 opening with spectacular fest

ahmedooooooooo terbaekkkkk gol 1st tu.

when china play, ben williams will be the ref again. wtf AFC?

haha china bribe double dose him again i guess

haha yea when ref's name appear on screen i was like...oh China's gonna win

aiyo kuwait GK give chinese free gift but no capitalize the red army

heheh.. China give away FK and fouls a lot.. Commentator of EuroSport also wonder how no yellow card yet for them...

can you believe it.. BEN WILLIAMS is again officiating a China match...and he just allow China hack the Kuwaiti from behind in their own penaty area.. elbows galore from the Chinese side. ... muka nak kene penumbuk btol.. tak boleh blah

haha and Kuwait got their first red card!! 2 match i watch this guy refereeing, 4 red cards given in favour of China. but to be fair that Kuwaiti guy did kick out at the china player when tangled.

YES..!!! First RED card for Kuwait player..

yes... the Kuwaiti players does make his job easier...

to be consistent with the asian games match, China also on several occassion continued kicking the ball or playing after the whistle has been blown.. and kuwaiti player has confront him on several occasion to talk about his decision... not even a yellow card..

lol at the kuwaiti player, kick ppl in the nuts then went into hollywood mode..notice when the ref takes the red card out he straight away covers his face...after being shown the red card then start crying...such a disgrace

tbf it was a foul(painful face smack) from the chinese but he really shouldnt have retaliated

first half is full of sliding tackles, especially from the Kuwait side. Second half a bit toned down.

Anyway just got my tickets from the ticket booth:



Excited

AFC should be responsible for this matter!
