I really frustrated japanese poor finish. we controled whole game.

stop to whining the poor ref. Refs are ALWAYS POOR in Asian Cup.

You need to prepare the poor refs. Scout worked so poor. and took bloop game plan.

Welcome to Asia. Asia is not Europe.

You could be get a harsh lesson at western Asia countries.

(thousand nails were scattered on the training ground... and more unbelievable stories in there)

Top three get byes into 2011 Asian Cup

OK, so the convicts fancy it back in Oceana do they?

Significant shift in power Saudi v Iraq in the final.

Mass applications for asylum when final whistle goes?

Saudi was strong team. They scouted well about Japan. and 2FWs were well!

Japan was destruction. We have lack of ideas.

We take on Korea in the third-place match. I'm really looking forward it!

Korea v Iraq game was most exciting match in this Asian -Cup I saw.

Frontale's suffer from long-time jorney(24hrs !!) , hot-arid climate(30 degree / humidity 18%!!), Strange shaped pitch (like quadrate), smoke (ball), firecracker ...etc.. and played in dim illumination.
