Top 5 Asian Football Teams

There is no soccer gambling in Korea.

s koreans dont have access to internet gambling or their banking systems of payments fogged up or korean gamblers suck at computer or all of the above

That incident took place because Chinese gambling houses were booking bets on Korean matches to the Chinese gamblers based on the ground that Korean matches were free of game fixing, then bribed unknown back-up players to fix the match.

Korean soccer federation has a zero-tolerance game-fixing policy and banned the said players for life, in Korea and around the world. This is how the Korean soccer federation keeps the sport clean.

on the book every football federation is non tolerant towards match-fixing. s korea is no exception


They are not.
Chinese are migrants from Burma. Koreans are migrants from Siberia.

Bull SH1T!

Chinese statures broadly have two types: Larger frame like Europeans to north of Yangtze and Medium to Smaller frame - to the south of Yangtze. koreans was a vassal state in our ancient Chinese Empire. We still have minorities of koreans living in some north east Chinese provinces! They are 高丽族 / 朝鲜族 - one of our 56 ethnic populations.

Your false flagging technique sucks - hk indian right wing!

Southeast Asians like Chinese are small-built, so they cannot really be competitive. This is why all Sinitic countries suck at soccer, and why the other Chinese guy was talking about sending Uyghurs and other minority players to China's national squad, because they have the physical strength lacked by Han Chinese players.

The following are the lists of China National Football Team and S korean football team. Tell me how are Chinese players smaller-built than koreans!

Okay, Japan and Korea left TWO tickets only, so there were other teams in AFC for example Australia ?

The determination no of places in the world cup pretty much follows the UEFA coefficient system. When teams of a continent perform well in world cup tournaments, their places of qualification will increase. May be someone can track down the relevant laws in the FIFA handbook!

Nope, China will not quality for the WC 2014 in Brazil, because they suck. :coffee:

lets see what happens under Camachi!

so far under him, we almost beat/drew Spain in the friendly losing in the last sec 0-1
we beat vietnam 3-0!

Now Australia has been drawn into AFC, the competition will become much harder.

I can see that China to bag about 60 gold medals in the Olympic Games of this year, but i am seriously not optimistic about our football team. :coffee:
 
Best tournament after the world cup is the EURO, started two days ago and it ends July 1st, im watching Croatia vs Ireland now
Croatia 3-1 Ireland :laugh:

Euro%2B2012.jpg

Euro is regarded as a tougher tournament than world cup because the quality of the teams are very high and balanced. The high standard is also due to the open selection of quality players in top Euro leagues. There is no really weak teams in the Finals. Denmark and Greece are examples. The only team which is technically poor is Ireland. They are rugby players. Russia and Croatia may emerge as the biggest surprise in the tournament!

Now Australia has been drawn into AFC, the competition will become much harder.

I wont give up on paper. We have good football players but the system and mentality need a major revamp.
We are advancing much better in basketball.

who said we have small athletes??
 
Second rounds of AFC World Cup qualifier results are in.

Korea : Lebanon = 3:0
Australia : Japan = 1:1

The Group B(where Australia and Japan belong to) are more interesting. The Group A's only big ticket match is Korea vs Iran. Iran plays Qatar today.
 
Are we talking football teams or National teams?? On the National teams we used to be very good almost a guarantee in the finales, now we are just a shadow of our former self. On individual football teams Saudi teams are still the ones to bet on in Asian championships.

Now the election for the head of the football federation is under way because the last guy quit due to our team's failure hopefully that will turn things around again.
 
hmm... there is a lot of false information here so i feel obliged to post. but first, i am korean american so i hold those bias. and i dont know a lot of football, but as an asian soccer fan, i feel that the wrong info i post here will at least be a bit more relevant to the post.

historically, asia had three traditional soccer powers. these are S Korea, Saudi Arabia, and Iran. Iran's status as asian soccer power has a lot to do with the individual heroics of Ali Daei who is a legendary player. Saudi Arabia was the first asian nation to get out of the group stages of World Cup. Now some of you might think thats a small feat, but it was and it continues to be a remarkable achievement. South Korea has the longest history of football in asia in terms of World Cup and also in having the oldest professional league in asia.

However since the 1990s Japan has started to perform really well in football. In my opinion, as of 2012, Japan is the best team in asia and is also the team to beat to have the bragging rights for being the best. Japanese are very smart in that they built the proper infrastrure and footballing traditions early on that they are now reaping the benefits of something they planted twenty years ago. These guys are sort of like the "spain" of asia in that they play technical and sophisticated football.

Aside from Japan, Australia has recently joined the Asian Football Confederation. Someone here said that australia joined Asia to go to World Cup easier. this isnt really true in my opinion. before they joined, australia would play some small island nations and routinely pummel them. But this does t help their players improve. Many Aussies are veterans of European football. This is their strength as well as their weakness as they lack domestic soccer developement. They dont have the numbers so sometimes its hard for them to get a complete team of very good players. Despite this, they are easily within top three in asia.

Going back to Saudi Arabia, these guys are recently having some problems. I dont follow the Saudi league so you will have to ask a Saudi about what is going on over there. Generally speaking however, the Saudi sheiks have a tendency to screw up their soccer developement. They never ever sell Saudi superstars to europe, so their top talents are held back from developing further. They change their top managers at the slightest whim of failure, so their team is in a constant state of flux. And some Saudi fans say some players are over payed and their incentive to play well have been destroyed. Despite this, one cant underestimate Saudi football in asia, as when they do come together they play quick counter attacking creative football.

Now Iran is like Saudi in that they too play quick counter attacking creative football. In asia, the Saudi Iranian rivalry is famous, and their matches are delightful to watch as they would see saw. Iranian problem is also a lot like Saudi in that the Shia clerics interfere in Iranian football. Ofthen their footballing body does not adequately support their team. However, the top players of Iran plays in Europe and they bring these talents with them when they play in asia. in my opinion, they are currently number four of Asia.

I would place the Uzbeks as number five of asia. these guys have inherited Soviet football. Their players are physically strong and many asian countries have a hard time dealing with that aspect of the game. Howevee, sometimes they just dont play well, which is why they are at number five. Many of their players play in Russia, and are genuine stars.

Besides these countries you have from west asia countries like UAE, Kuwait, and Qatar who can still give a good scare to the above five countries. But they tend to be small countries and the talents of their top super stars get diluted by their not so super teammates. Qatar is an interesting case as they have a tendency to nationalize brazillians to get some oomph into their team.

Iraq used to be an up and coming Asian soccer power and they used to give South Koreans some heat. But Saddam Hussein decided to destroy the footballing culture of both Iraq and Iran. But whereas Iran recovered, Saddam's son Uday would mess around with Iraqi football and they didnt reemerge until Uday was killed. We all saw this in the form of the 2007 Asian Cup where they played really beautifully, except some not so flattering grass rolling. However that is still "fair" game. I have no idea where Iraq is in the world of football now.

In east asia, there is still China and North Korea. North Korea is an interesting case since these guys only appear rarely, and when they do, they give a good scare to everyone. North Korea is infamous for defeating Italy in the 1966 world cup with their "cheollima" football. They also gave the Portuguese a good scare in the same tournament, scoring three goals in the beginning of the game. It was the brilliance of the soccer legend Eusebio who saved Portugal from total defeat and ended the game 5-3 portuguese victory. North Koreans have a few stars playing in Japan, swiss, russia, and even in south korea. it is a testament to their love of soccer that their government would allow these guys to play outside. However, many of their domestic players have never been exposed to world football. They still should be regarded within top ten in asia.

Now there were a lot of Chinese posters here who despise S Korean soccer. A lot of this has to do with the fact that the Chinese team do particularly poorly against south korea. They dont have this when they play against the arabs or japanese, but their media is absolutely unforgiving when they lose to Korea. This is a large factor in why China sometimes make top ten and sometimes it doesnt. China like all these other countries also have super stars. Many play in England and some of them even played in South Korea. China sometimes sabotage itself when they allow their emotions to over take them while playing the game. And their fans are absolutely brutal and dont support their own team. But on the bright side, the country is an avid footballing nation and they still have the future on their side. This team borders on top ten flipping on the upside or downside depending on temperament.

Besides these nations we also have countries like Vietnam and Thailand who love football, but have inadequate footballing infrastrure.

As for India, there was a time when India was more interested in football. unfortunately they stopped caring somewhere down the road, but FIFA and AFC are always scheming to have India, a countey of a billion people back into the fold. only the future will tell where India will be.

you might want to visit bigsoccer dot com if you want more asian footballing analysis, as i said before, i know very little about asian football and most of what i wrote is gibberish.
 
Turkiye is getting a great squad in 2014 i except very good results in 2014 very good young generation , 2008 we reached semi-finals but i except a final in next 6-7 years from us , basketball we are very good aswell reached final vs usa in 2010

some additonal comments:

Hong Komg have their own team separate from China. There have been some talks from fans about merging, but the reality of "one country, two systems" bleed into the world of football as well. Hong Kongers like their team in a strange way like the Welsh like having their own team aside from Britain. But countries thats considered "second tier" asian footballing powers like Singapore, Mongolia, etc have a tournament of their own aside from Asian Cup in which India makes appearances.

A poster claimed the corruption doesnt affect soccer developement. This is untrue. In the case of South Korea, defenders have taken bribes to lose. South Korea's big weakness is the lack of good defenders. You cant develope good defenders when the defenders have incentives to not play their best. This is also an economic issue. Defenders take bribes, because they are underpaid in Korea. defenders get no glory, but take all the blame. this kind of footballing culture damages the national team. This is probably true in other countries as well...

A Salute to your footballing knowledge. Very beautifully written and truths. I agree with everything you said.
 
We used to be good, nowadays we are having spoiled little cunnts who cal themselves football players
 
i realized that i mentioned uae, qatar, and kuwait, but failed to mention bahrain. Bahrain in my opinion is possibly number six or number seven. This team can beat teams like south korea or saudi arabia just like uzbekistan can sometimes beat japan.

but they are like the uzbeks in that they can fluctuate a lot in footballing power. i used to think bahrain as saudi arabia lite. but they make up for their disparity in power with some... theatrical performances of injury. Many of the smaller "second tier" powers do this as well as "first rate". but the first rate countries are much more subtle about doing it. i confess, i am a bit bitter as korea had to watch a lot of these theatrical performances, but we all do it. But i think bahrain is good enough now that they really should stop doing that.
 
no saudi arabia??, these guys have been appearing in last many world cups excluding 2010
 
too bad india sucks in this game and there is no chance of it being popular in india as long as cricket is there.
