The Koreans are missing 3 Players from Premier League. Park Ji Sung is one of them. Don't know why. Maybe they were not allowed to go.
China therefore convinced me.

Australia won against Thailand. Gratulations to tungie cheers

Thanks for the info Wattstax!

Just what I was looking for. I'm way too excited about the coming match with Australia and Japan.
I just tuned into CCTV-5 to see if I could really watch this thing live.

It tends to stop quite frequently although there are times
when the video streams smoothly for a minute or so, but then it stops every now and then.
Maybe this is due to the internet speed here in New Zealand..
Apparently it's 250times faster than dial-up.. but it can't even play the bloody thing properly.

Does anyone else have the same problem?

wow i cant believe Australia also made it into the qtrs. i was watching the australian match live as well and they were in great shape. if they keep this going they will definitely be a powerful force in the final rounds. By the way for anyone who watched that match don't you think the ref was a bit biased. i swear it seemed like he was trying to give thailand an advantage. luckily the australian players kept their cool about it.. well except for Alloisi =P.

P.s. Gizarhyme i think the problem has something to do with your internet because i stream it just fine. with an adsl2+ connection depending on what speed you are on you wont have smooth streams on the higher bandwidth streams, also if the connection to the destination doesnt sync well with you that will also cause problems.

I think the ref had to be, He knew Aus was a stronger team then Thai. Even Aus knew they had the upper hand so they didnt sweat it. They only attacked when they needed and they had deadly strikes in the counter attacks with lead offs from both sides of the field. Which by any means they

well this is a first for Aus they are invited guest for the tournament, I think this run might land them a permanent spot tho in the tournaments to come.

JAPAN advanced as well in a great game, a def must watch for any Japanese team fan/supporter.

Star Sports (english commentary) also shows much of the games. But I often have trouble to get an stable connection. Nevertheless a good alternative to cctv.
