i sort of want Japan to win tonight so they can say there the best team in Asia... so then we can go and knock them off there perch come January


Now that's a rivalry! Good to see you're keen on it. But I like them (the Japanese), they're good natured...


exactly... it'd be great, like Japan saying that they've 'overtaken' Australia as Asia's premier team and whatnot i think it'd be really good... we need to build these rivarly's and you need your rivals to do well to make it significant

South Korea, although if Japan win tonight, I'll change to them. That is unlikely though.

And the South Koreans looked the goods at this World Cup. Asian football is on the rise, and it puts in perspective our very succesful qualification through Asia. We can't go to the Asian Cup thinking (again) it will be easy. It will be a bloody difficult assignment, and one we should all enjoy and embrace, hopefully watching Australia play attacking football.

Funny how most Asian teams still dont consider us as Asian......

Neither do I, tbh.

As for 'big name players' they are all too old. The big expectations are on Martin Jørgensen 34 and Jon Dahl Tomasson 33. The other 'supporting crew' is Dennis Rommedahl 31, Jesper Grønkjær 32, Christian Poulsen 30, Per Krøldrup 30. All of these guys underperformed (other than Rommedahl), and showed much the same problems of Australia...too slow, ineffective and cannot put the ball into the back of the net. The younger players are expected to be the new generation, and will be judged in he future...it is expected the leaders lead the way for now, and they will take them to Brazil 2014

I think bout the Poulsen's failed to live up to their billings. Rommedahl was probably one of the only positive performances to take out of the cup. Really everyone should have done better (arguably like australia). They've got a few promising youngsters, but I don't think they've got enough to be a real threat in 4 years.
