Exactly.


Russia would only play the competition for the Asia cup, they wouldn't have to qualify because they are Russia. So that's something like 3 games in the group and maybe a couple more after. 5 games to players who aren't playing any international football could prove very beneficial.


Noticed how Jabulani ball isn't used anymore but it was in the world cup? Stuff like that are not helping the game.

Also stuff like Lyon - Real playing year after year.

Club football in Italy is a joke, its open season on fixing games over there.

Did you see the Japan volley against the aussies? Harry Kewell missed a heap load of chances but they were actually saves from the Japan goalkeeper.

I think Russia doesn't have to play but it would serve them and the other countries in Asia more if some side shows up for those asia cup games. Really love it that Japan are playing in the copa.

Did you ever think you would see that?
