Asian Cup 2011

[mattfb]

It's that time of year again, when we get to sit and watch a lot of Asian and middle-east football. How great...

Anyway, Qatar failed to sell out their stadium on the opening night and proceeded to lose 2-0 to Uzbekistan (With the stadium more than half empty with 15. If anyones interested: Qatar 0-2 Uzbekistan – Hosts outplayed in opening match of Asian Cup ? Parking The Bus

Kuwait v China tonight... What a game that'll be....

Is India in?

 

[P Squared]

Yup it is, for the first time since 1984.

 

[Bevab]

Wow!!!! India is making a slow comeback to soccer. Come on India, do atleast one upset.

Australia play India tomorrow. India lost to a UAE second division club side in a warm-up IIRC, so I can't see them doing much this tournament.

The opening goal in the Uzbekistan was an absolute cracker!

I'll try and watch the Australia game. We should win quite easily.

Asian cup

What will be interesting is a nation of 22 million plays a country of 1.1 billion. Should be a great game

Today's match is going to be epic...... I know India is going to lose just want to watch a better performance. Hopefully I can catch it on TV.

 

[mattfb]

fearsome tweak we're absolute ████.

Forza India.

Hope the coach puts a rocket up our arse. Get some enthusiasm boys!

It's pretty rubbish. I'm watching Napoli v Inter on Setanta-i. I really hate international football during the club football season. I can barely stand watching the Socceroos during these times.

 

[AkshayS]

As expected, India 0-4 Australia.

FFS hurry up and get knocked out Australia I want tiny Tim back. Field your godawful cricket team instead please.

I stayed up and watched it. Australia played a lot better in the first half. Harry Kewell's goal showed the gulf in class between the two sides.

India has potential as a football nation. They need good set up and with sheer numbers of population, they should become good.

FFS hurry up and get knocked out Australia I want tiny Tim back. Field your godawful cricket team instead please.

. At least Australia beat India in something!

It was a terrible performance by us lot. Very, very sloppy in the second half, it looked like we didn't care. We'll get smashed by the better teams if we play like we did.
