Louis Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Shockingly... Japan were beaten by North Korea on penatlies 5-4 after drawing 1-1 in the final . Looked like a decent competition this time. http://www.the-afc.com/english/competition...uth/default.asp Reckon Moyesy will have anyone out there?

Pat Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 The young Oz team flopped. Quarter Finals, Knocked out By S Korea. Much was made down under as a semi final berth gained auto entry to Wrld yth cup or akin. The Australians arer starting to understand the whole Asian Concept & will quickly have to learn the games are now much harder logistically & football wise. No longer do they get to beat American Samoa 35-0 , whilst the Japan's, Korea's & China's of this world are rapidly improving & very serious about the sport. I tried to watch a cple of matches on TV here, but the quality of the feed was dial up @ best...LOl...so didnt bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted November 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Do you think it was a good idea that Oz now have to face the nations on the Asian continent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Absolutely. Can only help them improve further. 2 serious Games in 4 yrs & battering pacific Islands 30-0 was getting them nowhere & a bit monotenous. Plenty of challenges ahead now, both Footballing, logistical & culturally so 2 speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
