Asian football history will be made this Wednesday with South Korea at the heart of it all. The
Land of the Morning Calm is supplying 50% of the eight teams still involved in the Asian Champions
League as the continental competition resumes at the quarterfinal stage after a break of four
months.
Much has happened since the second round came to a close in May, not least the 2010 World Cup.
We've seen a million "next Harry Kewells" but only one "next new Viduka."
Bruce Djite is clearly not the next Viduka but he did light up the A-League, Asian Champions League
and Olyroos campaign and now he's back at Gold Coast United.
In need of confidence as his game suffered as he failed to make a real impact in Turkey, what
better place than Australia to make his mark second time around.
SINGAPORE, 24 September 2010: The Singapore Asian Games team will be travelling to Ho Chi Minh City
on 26 September for the Eximbank Cup in Vietnam. With the Asian Games fast approaching, Singapore
will face a stern test as they play the Olympic teams of Iran, Malaysia, and host Vietnam in
preparation for the Guangzhou bound games in China this November.
Not Wanted
There were many at the start of the SLeague who opposed the presence of yet another Chinese team
before a ball was kicked. It was, hopefully, not racism that inspired such negativety but hard,
bitter experience.
No Chinese team has made any kind of positive impact on Singapore's premier football league and who
was to say Beijng Guoan, whose mother club took part in this season's Asian Champions League, would
be any different?
In South Korea Suwon Bluewings and Buson I'Park won their KFA Cup semi-finals after hard fought
encounters with Jeju United and Chunnam Dragons respectively. In Japan the J-League Cup has reached
its final four stage and the first legs of the semi-finals were played today. Sanfrecce Hiroshima
and Kawasaki Frontale hold the advantage after they defeated their opponents Shimuzu S-Pulse and
Jubilo Iwata respectively.
