Asia Cup 2007 (Soccer)

Has any body been/been able to follow the 2007 asian cup? ive only been able to read articles and watch highlights since the only way to watch it is on pay tv or at the pub for us aussies. Who do you guys think will win? i think Vietnam, Japan, and thailand have pretty good chances to make it at least pass the group stages.

ps. if you know anywhere i can get the full game videos let me know =]

Australia did badly. 3-1 to iraq. No excuses there. they deserved to be punished. I mean, why cheer for our own country when they lose easy matches. It is like Llyten Hewitt except Australia was never a dominant force in the world.

I am surprised that Vietnam is doing ok. I mean, I am viet but i laugh at the native country in terms of sport. But they might have a chance. Funny that.

haha yeah.. Australia came into the cup having the mind set of it being easy since they had euro club players and all, but that probably was there biggest mistake.

But with Vietnam and Soccer if you have ever been over there during a tournament or something everyone is crazy about it. its like a religion. Also things with the War and communism stopped them from being able to go forward with their international soccer during those periods, but we'll just have to wait and see.

<< Viet origin

The match tomorrow Japan vs. Vietnam might be interesting. Never watched Vietnam's soccer team although soccer is really, really popular in Vietnam.
I personally hope that Vietnam will win but I don't think they can beat Japan.
Gonna watch 90min VTV4 for the first time of my life, lol.

Yea I'm actually a big soccer fan myself, right now is soccer tournaments left and right. I was currently watching the Gold Cup, after that finished I am watching now both Cup America and The Asian Cup and U-20 World Cup Canada 2007. After these 3 tournaments end the Super League starts with a bunch of inter league matches from different ball clubs all over the world.

Sorry to go off topic there but hey we love the sport. I think Japan will win it they seem the favorites to take the cup again. Hopefully they do so then they can be in the Confederation Cup tournament to participate in matches against each regions tournament winners.

But I'm happy that Vietnam got in the Quarters nevertheless. They deserved it for their first two games.

Vietnam never was and probably never will be a big soccer nation.
At least I can watch the Quartes while Korea is really disappointing the whole way, like furransu said. What happened to Ahn Jung Hwan and Park Ji Sung and those we saw a few years ago? I did not see them even on the squad list.
