Official Asian Player of the Century thread (merged)

Lets hope that is true with Maradona for our sake. So far he is proving your theory correct.

He definetely got the brains. I'm looking forward to the day he till manage Man Utd

이천수가 제일 아깝다.... ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

Lee chun soo had good potential but because he's an "asshole" to the media... lol and because he's stupid enough to make "silly comments"...

His career is now pretty much over for KNT...
Maybe for K-league there's hope..
But I doubt it since younger players are now coming.

입천수라는 별명이붙었다는게... 불쌍하다.

lol did anyone watch 강심장???? Yoo-Sang Chul was a guest.. lol and he talked about how Ahn Jung Hwan liked to hog the camera at the WC hahahaha..

no wonder why Ahn got picked.
카메라 욕심이 많았던 안정환.... ㅋㅋㅋ 별로 놀랍지가 않아요 ㅋ

He was a decent soccer player but the guy had some serious personal problems besides his outlandish comments and from what I know he pretty much burned his bridges whereever he went.

Just imagining having a player like Cha senior on the current Korean NT with Park Jisung, Lee Chungyong, Ki and Park Chuyoung gives me the goosebumps.

I remember when LCS went to Real Sociedad, he said something like "I'm happy to be here, because this will be me stepping stone to Real Madrid or Barcelona"

i used to despise the little hobbit because of his ridiculous trash talking and "me" attitude, but i've lightened up on him since Germany '06.

he was our best player.

He also said something along the lines of:

"I'll give Real Sociedad more output for their money than David Beckham can for Real Madrid"

too bad he couldn't lol then he went to numancia where he was their best player but no goals led to being cut which was ridiculous because their main striker had like 2 goals or something

Man he was unlucky at Numancia. Bar, post, bar, miss, post , bar shit fck.

Remember watching Barca-Numancia on TV, Chun-soo played like a gangster

I miss him.

Gotta agree. He was the best player Numancia.

His performance agaisnt Switzerland forever endeared him to me.

You'd think after a performance like that you'd predict him to be on the plane to South Africa.

It wasn't that long ago he was ripping the Greeks a new one at Craven Cottage.

It's damn sad really.

He really only has himself to blame.

I will always remember this guy for his performance at 06 ㅠㅠ btw what's he doing now..i mean he hasn't found a club yet but i'm sure he's nt going to retire this early or something

Edit: nvr mind he's apparantly a part of a 조기축구 club...here's the pic .omgg..kinda surprised

ya when Lee Chun soo cried I was sad and had a few tears. played with his heart Lee Chun soo. in spite of people not liking his "cocky" attitude, that's the type of attitude that wins you games when you believe you can beat anyone.

Miss him. I want him to find a good club and play his way into the KNT again.

I doubt he will ever make his way back to knt

well that depends on how he works from here on, but he's banned from playing in k-league so his only hope is finding a club in Japan...I really wanna see him play for the KNT thou

lee chun soo may look like a rat but i'd rather have this rat play rather than a player suffering from down syndrome with the last name yeom.

Cha and the German manager Lowe, when Lowe used to be a sub for Cha at Frankfurt.

Lowe with a Hitler-stache.

XD.

So i wasn't alive back then but how come Cha was never up for a Ballon D'or? Wasn't Bundesliga the number one league at the time, and wasn't he like the league's best striker? Maybe I'm getting all my information from Koreans...

Im only speculating but id assume because of the competition during Cha's time. I mean, if you look at during that time, it was full of Bundesliga stars. The likes of Beckenbeuer, Keegan and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge domnated Germany, while there was also the likes of Platini and Johan Cryuff dominating Europe. I think that even though Cha was sensational (of course i have never seen him live) he couldnt outpass the likes of those stars.
