Asian Soccer Stars – Learn From England’s Performance

June 19, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Asian soccer star, London – England’s performance against Algeria at the world cup 2010 was poor, and that’s putting it mildly. A game that should have seen a comfortable victory for England’s best turned into a painful spectacle for watching fans in the stadium and watching on TV screens around the world.

But there is a lesson to be learned for budding footballers looking to become Asian soccer stars of the future, but more on that later.

I’m sure like us, fans all over the country and around the world, sat down in anticipation of a thrilling world-class football game that would have us at the edge of our seats.

England’s performance certainly had us on the edge of our seats, but more in anger and frustration targeted at the poor show being broadcast from our TV screens. There was no hint of a world-class performance from any of the England players, in fact they didn’t play like a team at all, while Algeria showed fluency and good technical ability. [Read more...]

South American Football Rules!

June 17, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Asian soccer star, London - The South American nations have come into their own in the FiFa World Cup 2010, playing a fluid form of attacking football that’s exciting and entertaining to watch.

Apart from Germany’s opening game against Australia, the European nations just haven’t shown any of the confidence and creative play we know they are capable of.

Lead by  the charismatic Diego Forlan, Uruguay put a massive dampener on hosts South Africa’s party and hopes of going into the next round with an emphatic 3-0 victory.

Even world cup favourites Spain showed poor form in finishing, though they had the majority of possession, losing 1-0 to Switzerland who defended brilliantly. In what was essentially a South and Central American derby Chile got off to a good start with a 1-0 victory over Honduras. [Read more...]

Germany Demolish Australia in World Cup Opener

June 14, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Asian soccer star, world cup 2010, London – After a thrilling contest between the groups first match between Ghana and Serbia which ended in a victory for the Ghanaians, the world’s eyes were on Germany’s opening match against Australia.

The Germans kicked off to a flying start demolishing Australia with a 4-0 victory. The German team were solid, fast-paced and fluent in their passing and movement. The performance was what we expect from a world cup team, which has certainly been lacking in the tournament so far.

Saying that, it could be argued that the Australians made the Germans look good, after all the Aussies aren’t really known for their footballing prowess.

The real test will come in the next round when all the teams will have to really pull their socks up and show the world a footballing extravaganza we’ve all waited 4 years for.

Here’s to hoping we won’t be disappointed, especially by England.

Maradona’s Men Win in Style

June 12, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Asian soccer star, London – Argentina beat Nigeria in a convincing 1-0 victory that should have seen Maradona‘s men put at least 3 or 4 goals in the back of the net. Lionel Messi saw sight of goal a number of times only to be stopped by some fine saves from Nigeria’s in-form goal keeper Vincent Enyeama.

As Germany’s ex-International Jurgen Klinsmann so eloquently put it, “It was an impressive performance by Argentina, they controlled the game for long periods and could have been 3-0 or 4-0 up by half-time. It was risky, because Nigeria had chances in the second half, but they deserved to win.”

Messi lived up to his reputation and the crowd sensed something would happen every time he got the ball. If Maradona has done one thing well, he’s managed to give the whole team an emotional uplift and confidence that they can win this world cup.

Where the living legend lacks in tactical understanding he more than makes up in providing the glue to gel the team together. As they say, ‘ the proof is in the pudding ‘ and we wait and see if Argentina can get better with each game or lose direction trying.

Greece Fail to Relive Magic of Euro 2004

June 12, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Asian soccer star, London – Greece failed a repeat of the 2004 European Championships by losing 2-0 against Asian giants South Korea in their first game of the world cup 2010.

The first group game brings together two teams responsible for perhaps the most unexpected and remarkable achievements in modern footballing history.

Greece shocked the footballing world during the Euro 2004 championship when they beat hosts Portugal to lift the coveted cup.

South Korea reached the World Cup semi-finals in 2002 upsetting football superpowers like Portugal, Italy and Spain along the way; making South Korea the most successful Asian team in world cup history.

South Korea fancy their chances of causing some upsets and going far in this world cup 2010 championship.

France Continues to Disappoint at World Cup

June 12, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Asian Soccer Star, London – France’s national team continued it’s run of disappointing performances with a  0-0 draw against an average Uruguay team in South Africa. With an average performance France’s ‘stars’ failed to impress and put the ball in the back of the net even though Uruguay played the last 10 minutes with 10 men.

Reports of a dispute among some players with manager Raymond Domenech had already emerged before the match and seemed to unsettle the French team camp. Chelsea‘s Florent Malouda has had a wonderful season with his club but after publicly criticizing the French Coach the player paid the price by being relegated to the bench.

But with all the international talent and experience within the French team, much more was expected and not delivered.

Not to take anything away from Uruguay, a team that showed strong defence and creativity through their experienced linchpin Diego Forlan. Playing with 10 men for the last 10 minutes of the game Uruguay players showed they were serious about getting through to the next round.

With everyone in the group on a single point it’s all down to which team shows more mettle to get through to the next round.
