(2011.01.29) AFC Asian Cup Final: Japan x Australia [R]

HAHA. Definitely.

 

Kawashima has that "take a risk" kind of vibe. Which makes you worry sometimes. Nishikawa seems calm. That's why I didn't really mind if Zac really wanted to replace Kawashima with him in the earlier stages.
But Kawashima did well today. He's spoken that he's capable. Also, he's entertaining. xD

 

Oneiro Phobia, we need your powers!

 

Yeah, entertaining can be really good, or really bad... as we see with Kawaguchi.

 

Bingo. Not to the same level of greatness, but it's a kind of Casillas vs Buffon thing. You'll never see Buffon do some of the insane shit that Casillas pulls, good and bad.

 

Well it takes time and experience right? How many years has he been 2nd or 3rd choice (club and national teams)... Kawaguchi and Narazaki have been with the NT for years... So, I find it a bit harsh to judge Kawashima and the others.

Kawashima reminds me of Oli Kahn, maybe it's his aggressiveness...

Other than that OT: Australia are going to face a Gk problem in the future. They heavily rely on Mark Schwarzer too much.

As expected, Zonalmarking squealing with girlish delight over the tactical move of Zaccheroni:

Thank you Nihon Daihyo... this means so much to all of us.

We deserve this.

Love the commentary

 

It's just like korean commentary.. they just can't keep their emotions in check

 

One of the guys doing the commentary is Nanami (Asia Cup 2000 MVP, and my favorite player ever).

 

1:16 in the video, the commentators start yelling ABOORAH ABOORAH. is that a word in japanese or just random gibberish? lol

 

Matsuki should also win the MVP.

"PK!? PK!?? PK!?? NO?????"
"No it's not in!. Definitely, it's not in!!! No goal, no goal, no goal" (repeating forevrer..) AHHHHHH.... OHHHH. No it's not in at all. No, no, no.."
"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIII!!!"

It's not in the video but I also liked what he was saying before the match
"It's gonna be young Japan against experienced but aged Australia. Well, younger power will win for sure!"

I also liked in this game even Sergio was getting emotional.

 

Who is this Matsuki man?
Is he that cute grandpa looking guy?

 

It is a new day in Doha!!!

Youll have to pardon the bombastic rhetoric.
Ive been storing it up for 18 years . . .

 

Lol Lee dodged Honda during that celebration. Made him fall straight to the ground. Lee was wide open. No defender in like 3 meter distance. Bad man marking by Aussies but goal was well taken by lee.

 

They are yelling "ABUNAI!" which means dangerous.

 

Matsuki is the former Tokyo Verdy manager who is now the co-commentator for tele asa... except he is more like our cheerleader more than anything else. He makes everything so exciting.

From Matsu's article: "Tim Cahill is the most infuriating, contemptable, diving, shamming, hand-balling, kneecapping, eye-scratching, grass-rolling, whining, cheating son of a she-devil in all of Asia. DAMN, I wish Japan had a striker like that!"
Yes please!! I am dying to see a player play for us that will do anything to win.

 

Yeah Matsuki rocks, and I agree that Japan needs a player like Cahill.

 

doya!

 

The next time Japan lifts a cup in Doha, it will be the FIFA World Cup.

Soak it up.
