Wow, a fantastic day for Asian football. Poland must have been capable of better, did they have injury worries?

I started a thread for this game at the exact same time! Thanks for the final score... :goodjob:

Is it just me or did it finish 2-0 to S Korea?

Whhopps sorry it was 2-0 . I'll edit it

Guus Hiddink :D

it´s very good for the football that the asians and the africans can compete with the europeans and the south americans now. this will might become the best world cup ever. :D

Soon the Dutch streets will be filled with the Red-white-blue of the Korean flag.

BTW: did you all now that Kim means Dutch in Korean?

Yeah agreed, although only because Japan/Korea have home advantage. I think Asia has a bit to go before it reaches European standard, but I can't wait till they do.

Poland sucked really well. Pathetic.
Boo to FIFA when making unfair selections on the matches before WC.

Which selections were unfair?

Go Korea go! :goodjob:

Watched part of the match; Koreans weren't that spectacular but the Poles were horrible. Crowd pressure.

"Selections" was a bad word, but it was late at night, and my engrish skills can't handle tired brains.
Qualifying (sp?) groups, the whole 'every continent must get x number of countries in WC' -thing...

Ahem, Juize - if this selection was not a good thing, why are these teams winning? It seems their success on the field erases any doubt of their legitimacy.

It may seem illogical, when you look fastly, but I could find several not-qualified
European teams that would've beaten Saudi-Arabia... ( :MAD: :MAD: )

Money talks too. More money if you can spread your net wider.

Of coz, Saudi Arabia sucks though, although they didn't do so badly against Cameroon. :rolleyes: But that's another issue.

1-0 to cameroon isn't that bad you know

BTW, do you know that Ubin is the name of a small island to the north-east of Singapore's main island? :)

The World cup needs a varity of teams so that the worse teams can gradually improve by playing better teams and it makes the competition more interesting with suprises like the USA winning against Protugal...
