if we are talking performances, then korea might have something to say about that.

if we are talking club game crowds, then iran would have something to say about that too.

i think we won`t know till the world cup.

last man standing gets the crown.

Iran and Korea have a fair bit of ground to claw back.

Korea's best performance has been when they had the World Cup at home.

Australia.

I really like this blog. I have a question for you so could you please shoot me an email? My address is in my blogger profile.

Thanks!

but what a performance! seems unfair to point out that they were at home. nobody knocks england or france for winning it at home, do they?

i mentioned korea because they qualified with two games to go - like us, but from, IMHO, the harder group.

same result, but from the tougher group. that puts them ahead by a nose for mine.

i mentioned iran because their club competition seems so vibrant - the highest ACL crowd ever was 95,000 in iran. that is for a comp that has received so much apathy in other parts of asia (including australia). iran is a football country. its a bit like how NZ is a rugby country, while we aren`t. we might be kinda good at it, but the public doesn`t really care.

did i ever mention i like disagreeing with people?
