Hah, yes you should be saying. So the team in New Zealand looks very young and about 16.
Well South East Asians are small and look younger for their ages.
Did you see what team they had at the qualification.
The team they had at the u19's them must have been about mid 20's then given that.
I doubt the Myanmar government then wanted to go along and help them cheat whereas the African nations all seem to be able to give everyone dodgy passports.
The only competition that counts is the seniors, notice how many time Africa has won junior world cups, the Pele comes along and says they will win the seniors and look what happens. Pele is thick but really strong for his age, so when he was lifting Adu at 13 who is the same weight he is now he couldn't notice the obvious.

Yes very bad tournaments from Asians but not surprise for me. I think climate is not help because summer here in Asia and New Zealand is in winter now.

Uzbekistan defeat Austria to reach the Quarter Finals,

Hah, what? Have you seen the Myanmar team? They all look under 16. Their coach came out saying they were one of the only teams who didn't age cheat. (funny considering NZ left Boyd and Ryan Thomas out even though Boyd missed out by 2-3 days)

Truly disgraceful

Make that W1 L11

Are you referring to Japan's senior national team or under 20's?

This thread is in relation to U-20's.

Did you read the posts?

Read them again.

Ricey mate, the Norks lost to Qatar in the final.


Anyway, both have been pathetic tbh, lol.

LOL this is about how poorly the AFC teams have been, Its got nothing to do with "going back to Oceania" idiot.

How short are people's memories?

Yeah, lets go back to Oceania so we can qualify for junior tournaments at the expense of the actual senior world cup. Yeah, that'd be great. Let's have this once every 4 years play-off so we can lose and be the laughing stock of Australian sport once again. While we're at it, how about we go back to that once great bastion of Australian sport, the NSL, where bumper crowds of 3,000 would fill a grassy hill and make a good vantage point for some flares and ethnic violence. Can't wait for the NSL grandfinal crowd of 10,000 at Paramatta stadium again.

Oh, and we can once again dominate oceania's club competition at the expense of the AFC champion's league. Those were the days.

Japan are weak. They are lacking any decent firepower upfront and have no defense to trouble the best teams.

Qatar is out with nothing to show. Can the Uzbeks restore a little honour back into the AFC ?.

Well there is no chance we are going to join the European or South American Confederations.

And i wonder which players will end up having the better careers the Japanese south koreans, belgians spainish french italians or the fijians and kiwis ?

Kinda funny and humbling to some folks on here I would think.

rather play against the world's best than Asia's

How about playing Japan and Korea.

Can you actually substantiate all these wild accusations? Or do you just make them up off the top of your head?

You could find yourself in trouble one day...:lol:

Uzbekturks should be able to beat Fiji
probably AFC's only chance at points

so that being the case, what benefit of Australia being in the AFC then?

They cheated as well. my advice would do a check on these team squads with the teams they take to the u19's.
The irony is the teams they would take to the u19's is probably older even a year after the tournament.
Japan and South Korea were the best technically, Vietnam were good as well.

Amazing what can happen when you aren't allowed to age cheat and don't play in hot humid sweatbox

I hope Fiji get something out of there next game against the Uzbeks.

how's North Korea, winner of the qualifying tournament going?

Nick I am so glad you have been able to explain Asias terrible showing this all makes sense now

The number of simpletons we have on here is astounding. Myanamar is one of the weakest Asian nations who just so happened to host the qualifying tournament and thus were able to age cheat without passports.
How many times do I have to explain this to the local simpletons.

W0 DO L9

NZ just beat Myanmar 5-1 giving Oceania their 2nd win
