Soccer in Asia

i like this year's asian cup final.. it's surprisingly quite exciting.. i am also shocked that korea and japan did not make it to the final. middle east countries have always been quite good in soccer... however, i think due to political reasons.. middle east players will never get a chance to play in european leagues even though their counterparts in east asia have been given opportunities (ie. park ji sung in Man U)

i think individual skills players soccer in asia can't winning than individual skills player soccer in uerope.

Yes, i think that's possible, it's been done before....remember Hidestoshi Nakata? Plus, nowadays Asian players are getting more skilled - just look at how bad the Aussieroos fared against the Asian nations!

I think physical disadvantage is not the majoy promble.Japanese players have no height,no speed but now some team have strong players like china is not his adversary.Technique is the first elementry.The key is bring up system of callan.

in my mind, the problems are not just the physical disadvantage of Asian people, nowadays, there are lots of 'big guys' in asian football team, as well know, chinese players are pretty strong, but they suck. the true problem is the culture and the organization of the football association and the soccer players themselves

asia ball control is good but body is not strong enough..

Hmm good question, I guess there must be something that makes them 'not so good', they never really go far in the tournaments.

When it comes to the Asian soccer,we all know that our soccer level is far below the world level.This is because of our bad phisical conditions and backward soccer culture .Japan and Korea are two representitive countries for Asia in the 2002 world cup.They achived a highlevel and broke thier own record in the history.But the fact is that they can not compete with other countries such as Brazil and France.In a word,we have a lot to do
