Poor China :(

inb4 ＃霍尔格出

So the club teams in China have legit big dick coaches... and for the NT they went with Holger?

Ain't no 6'4" Josh Kennedy's in there to nod home lucky winners off crosses, Holgs. You're fucked!

Mandatory defence of Holger: they'll be a force for a couple of years.

I didn't mind Holger, anyone ever believe that it's just australia lacks any real pace, or any good players?

apart from kennedy, rogic and kruse, we have no real threatening players.

don't blame ol' holger.

:-$ :-$ :-$ :-$ :-$
Holger is the devil!

:lol:

Sucks to be any young emerging talented Chinese footballer right now. No senior selection for you. :D

Robbie and Tommy say hi.

A marriage made in heaven.

Can't wait for the Asian cup.

One game left. They'll need at least a draw against Iraq away in the UAE.

2 players in a 3 year period. Thanks for reinforcing my point.

They also remember the night in which they set up 2 goals for Australia and then got blasted for being poor on the field.

China to tumble out of the top 200?

Who gives a shit?

Oh sweetie... Don't struggle, you'll only make a goose of yourself faster.

Also tried by Holger: Burns, troisi, Williams, Davidson, Mooy, Nichols, Langerak, Ryan, Spiranovic, Leckie, Ruka, Goodwin, Brillante, Irvine, Rogic, Behich, Zullo, Sarota.

Players integrated in their prime (who deserved it or performed): McKay, Milligan, Jedinak, Ognenovski, Brosque, Cornthwaite.

He tested the waters, deal with it.

They can also get through on goal difference if they lose. If they don't lose by too much, and if Lebanon doesn't win by too much, then China will qualify by being the highest ranked team in third spot.

I really want them in the comp. Huge audience. Huge economy. Huge potential for both them and their trading partner. ;)

And he sucked arse in the end.

Given Holger's history, i reckon they'll go well for 12 months. Maybe even going deep into the Asian Cup if they qualify.

But then the downward spiral will begin, and it will be a gradual decline.

How do you say HolgerOut in Chinese? (Cantonese or Mandarin will suffice)

What did China do to deserve something like this?

Who are the other 670 Byun fans?

My ancestors from the previous generation.

:d how many of Those younger players were given a chance to cement themselves? Worse, some were ostracised. The older player inclusions were stopgaps, when the team desperately needed regen.

Your so delusional in your un waving support of Holger EG I dont intend to waste more seconds of my life debating this topic with you.

Cornthwaite was a stopgap and should never have been called up initially, however he clearly earned a recall.
The rest earned their spots without a doubt.

As for the young guys, he gave them chances and clearly wasn't impressed. If he thought they would get him better results, he would have picked them, simple as that. Rightly or wrongly...
