El Tiempo Lo Cura Todo: The Camacho Era - The 2012 National Team Thread

I guess our shitty fitness/conditioning partly explains why we have such a hard time keeping up with the Koreas (even the NoKos).

 

Yoyo isn't exactly "new" in China, the CSL/Jia A have been using a Chinese adapted version of it at least since '99 or 2000.

I think part of the issue is that the league here has only been professional since '94, before that we're talking about amateur players. The league has come a long way in training techniques, especially with foreign coaches, but there's still a ways to come. I know that Guoan's manager gave all the players specialized training plans to follow during the offseason and when they came back to camp, he said it was obvious a number of them hadn't followed them.

 

thanks, the explanation make it seem like it is more complicated than a endurance test with all the maths in it.

 

LOL again!!!??!

 

Seeing the best Chinese centre back actually play (never mind start) is starting to seem like an impossible dream lmao

I'll make him captain (I had Yang Zhi before)

I didn't actually have it in me to remove him because I'm a big fan of him haha.

It makes me so angry that with ITalkBB internet, we get 40 Chinese channels and no CCTV5 or other sports channels!!

Gao Lin's goal is pretty nice. When the game doesn't count, everyone plays at 100%, when it does, 50%, story of the NT! If there ever was a world cup of friendlies, I think China would win it...

 

Good result a clean sheet is always a good thing.

Here's hoping for the official defense to consist of Wu Xi (instead of Liu Jianye) and Zhang Linpeng (instead of Zhao Peng)

 

As a Kuwaiti, I apologize for that disgraceful performance.

And I apologize for the idiotic move that Talal Nayef made in the first half (i.e. when he kicked the Chinese player).

China deserved the victory and the Kuwaiti players ought to be ashamed of themselves. I hope they enjoyed their splendid tourist tour around China and the rest of the Far East, because that's all it ever seemed to be, since the start. It was never about preparing the team for its do-or-die match against S. Korea; rather, it was about the Kuwaiti players enjoying the Chinese food and culture.

Did we even have a defense? Our formation must have been 0-0-0-10; 0 defenders, 0 midfielders, 0 attackers and 10 daydreamers. I only feel sorry for our goalie.

I'm still waiting to see Waleed Ali open his own hair salon. I'm a girl but even I don't take care of my looks as much as some of these Kuwaiti players do. If they put the same amount of effort into their football that they do to their hairstyles, we wouldn't be in this do-or-die situation in the first place.

 

wasnt there a dood that uploads full matches onto youtube?
id like to watch this game

 

From the best of my knowledge, it was Kuwait's first team, which will start against S. Korea next week. There might have been a few absentees, due to injuries, but that's about it. We got pretty humiliated for a first team LOL.

 

yes the username is fduphysics but he hasn't uploaded it yet and i'm not if he will
