AFC website now tell that Oman will meet DPR Korea annd not Korea Rep on 26 June in Singapore. http://www.afcasiancup.com/en/news/index.asp?aid=47482&cid=1373&amth=5&ayr=2007
June 26 - Singapore vs. Saudi Arabia June 30 - Saudi Arabia vs. Oman, in Singapore July 4 - Saudi Arabia vs. North Korea, in Singapore http://www.saff.com.sa/ar/news/news-5-26-4.aspx Article say its a four nations tournament.
If it was a 4-team tournament, that would mean also there would be matches Singapore v North Korea on 30th June, and Singapore v Oman on 4th July. However, Singapore already has a friendly match with Australia lined up for 30th June.
Banktown FC (Australia) - Malaysia 1-0 http://www.the-afc.com/english/media/default.asp?mnsection=media§ion=newsDetails&newsID=8728
Sad but true man how one person can ruin it for the for the team with his offensive comments. My view on this is that yes what AN said about the holocaust was very offensive, but you shoudn't punish the team and blackball them. Nobody on the team said anything wrong it was the President. Anyways a lot of games got canceled and because our coach was from Croatia we got some games against Croatia, Boznia, Azerbaijan (the Eastern European countries). We also had one friendly agianst Germany in Azadi. Oh well at least we are playing agianst Mexico on June 5th.
Bankstown City are a Semi-Professional club, who train only 3 times a week, and play in the NSWPL (State League). Considering Bankstown played with their U/20's (7th/11) squad against the Malaysian National Team, and still beat them 1-0, alarm bells should be ringing!
It is looking like a 4-team tournament except Oman nt yet known jonny63 posted Singapore vs NK on 24 June But who care as nobody will remember who the cup winner
Today; Japan - Montenegro 2-0 (Kirin Cup in Japan) Tomorrow matches; Mexico vs. Iran South Korea vs. Netherlands Australia vs. Uruguay

Today; Australia - Uruguay 1-2 Korea - Netherlands 0-2 USA-China and Mexico-Iran start in 11 hours.....
I have just returned from telestra staduim in Sydney I watched Australia vs Uruguay Australian team was shit!! although was the 2nd team, I thought they could be better Recoba & his mates have controled the field! AUS1 URG2
Australia actually ran over them for the entire game. But YET AGAIN our goalkeeper makes a mistake, its becoming a bad habit.
Nightmare for Asian football. Korea Republic, Australia, China PR, and Iran all lost to teams from other continents. At least Korea Republic's and Australia's were little bit acceptable in that they played tough opponents. China PR and Iran also played pretty good the U.S. and the Mexican sides but they didn't need to get spanked like scoreboard said. No offense to them but I don't see any emotion and effort from the latters.
Did Korea play full squad? 0-2 to Netherlands isn't that bad. Australia missing 7 starters against Uruguay and match was even, Australia dominate first half but Uruguay do better in 2nd. Their 2nd goal was from terrible goal keeper error.
