World Cup Qualifier Asian one 3rd round

Got the same feeling

I can't see China beating Iraq or Australia.

 

Talk about a bad draw. There goes our chance of going to South Africa.

 

I'm looking forward to some exciting games

Can anyone tell me where the Australia VS China game is likely to be played in China?

I'd like to go along if possible ^_^

I'm guessing Guangzhou.

 

Iraq won't be playing at home so they might lose point in their home matches, but I am more worried about Qatar.

 

The only positive thing now is that coach Zhu is gone.

 

we need to play Irak or Qatar in north part of the country where is cold , the only good news is that Zhu is gone and petrovic will not make the same mistake has him.

 

Any plans for friendly matches before 6 February ?

I guees the first match will be against Iraq in Damascus , Syria ?

 

It is stated last month in Chinese media that the new China NT would have several friendlies in January 2008 but only one with UAE was confirmed and the manager of the Chinese team planned to discuss friendlies with other teams when he met other team managers in Durban. Don't know if has got a deal or not now.

It looks like the first match against Iraq will be in Doha, Qatar. http://www.the-afc.com/eng/articles/viewArticle.jsp_164397152.html

 

Not a bad idea.... the Australians too.

 

the only confirmed A match is away match against UAE

 

When are you playing UAE ?

China have asked Jordan for a match between 15 and 19 January .

Time for the new coaches and players to test their mettle.

Our first home match will be likely held in Guangzhou. Same place, similar date, hopefully the result will be different.

 

If it's in GZ then I'm going there to watch it.

 

Why Doha? Iraq's home game should be in a neutral place. Qatar is in the same group.

 

AFC wrote Doha but I believe that Iraq will play in Damascus , Syria...

 

Because Doha is much hotter than Damascus so it can grill the Chinese players.

 

10 January，CFA had also asked Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait for friendly matches but no game had been confirmed yet

 

Don't know why CFA don't try to have friendlies with Middle Eastern powerhouses like Saudi and Iran in preparation with the opening match against Iraq.

 

green the match vs Emirates it will be play in china or in Abu Dhabi?

 

In Middle East.

It seems that quite a lot of Middle East teams want to have a friendly match with China. If so, it's better to cancel the England trip.

 

Yea, hopefully in the Middle East they'll have less of a chance of trying to stomp a motha'
