Call me crazy but I think Croatia is a better match up for Japan than Morocco
Was thinking the same at this point in the match but man did he prove me wrong
Along with the usual JNT problems (lack of a potent striker, playing up or down to the level of opposition, failing to close out games etc.) the...
Gutted and proud. Think we did well to get to the semis with a squad that is still very much a work in progress. I think we'll improve and the...
Fully!
I dunno, going Dutch/German hasn't really gone well for S. Korea post-Hiddink. He wasn't perfect, but I hope Nishino stays.
I can't stand that ********er
I get what you're saying as you don't know if you can trust players until you see them play under tournament presure. But I think Japan should...
Also, I wouldn't be suprised if a european team goes in for Gen Shoji after this tournament ends, dudes a beast.
Proud of the team today, but the loss was so typical of Japan. I also think tactically the team was very naive, should've played for possession...
Glad Japan didn't draw England so I can actually support them in this match. Controlling Lukaku and Hazard will be the key. Hope Nishino goes with...
Clichy to Man City almost official, he's having a medical now and apparently he's going for around 7 mill. Not really bothered about him going as...
That was deliberate, watch again, he gets nudged off balance and then makes an effort to shoulder barge her, disgrace.
Its more down to the fact that Sky have broadcasting rights for the EPL and La Liga, of course they will be biased towards teams from those...
Yeah, Ueslei used to do the same celebration when he played for them.
United's signing of Barthez springs to mind...
Really hope there's something in this, that guy is exactly what we need at centre-half, can't see him coming cheap though...
Re: (01.09.11) AFC Asian Cup: Japan vs. Jordan [R] A lot of players put in poor performances today, personally i think only Okazaki and Nagatomo...
Re: (01.09.11) AFC Asian Cup: Japan vs. Jordan [R] Thunderous header!
Re: (01.09.11) AFC Asian Cup: Japan vs. Jordan [R] There better be a shedload of extra time...
Re: (01.09.11) AFC Asian Cup: Japan vs. Jordan [R] Okazaki looks like the only one who is up for this, why wasn't he in at the start:confused:
Re: (01.09.11) AFC Asian Cup: Japan vs. Jordan [R] Japan is clearly the better team, but Jordan are showing more desire imo, Japan at times look...
Theo just came out and said he dived for the Penalty which wasn't given for offside, and apologised to both managers to boot. Respect him for...
Djourou/Vermaelen. Squillaci's not Arsenal quality and at his age he's not likely to get much better and Koscielny is too inconsistent. Djourou...
Better not hear anything more in the press from Bendtner about wanting a starting role...
