[Asian Cup]

Re: Asian Cup i find this Asian cup so low in quality for now, low tempo, many passing, defending, goalkeeping mistakes, with so little players that can make a difference...knowing that there is always a chance for organized teams to get some result in the end and i know Jordan was called somewhat outsider for this tournament, but there organized play impressed me pretty much knowing that they don't have the talent to play otherwise... The other two teams that shows promise are U.A.E, with great possesion footbal, lovely passing, but they just couldn't convert against DPR Korea, i'm waiting to see what can they show us for the second game...the other team that i like is South Korea, which is similar to U.A.E but with better players in some areas of the team, Lee of Bolton is just outstanding and i hope that 18 year old Hamburg player Heung Son Min will get more minutes in next games as he surely is one to watch for the future... I'm waiting to see what can Australia offer today against serious opponent as India is just terrible.... For todays game i like South Korea over Australia, because they're much more energetic, faster and better technicians than Aussie boys, only think that concerns me is that Koreans can be "bullied" from the pitch as Australians are much stronger and more experienced than South Koreans For the second game i'm expecting easy win for Bahrain, because i rate India two levels lower than any other nation in this cup...it shoudn't be so easy but Bahrain needs the win to keep hope alive into progressing to the next round and have the better quality, but i don't expect any thrashing...2,3, or 4 goals for Bahrain would suffice.

[Basketball: Europe: ABA Adriatic NLB]

Re: Basketball: Europe: ABA Adriatic NLB Just a quick info on today's games in NLB League...i actually don't agree with posts before which suggest wins for Hemofarm and Buducnost... Hemofarm will be without Maras and Bozovic, two centers and if we know that Partizan main weapon is under the basket with Gist, Jawai, Katic that suggest advantage for the winner of this league from last year...Best player of Hemofarm Milan Macvan left for Maccabi and the other players (Borisov and Adusic) did not train last week because of fever. Crvena Zvezda is a team full of youngsters which normally can't play good every game and there are quite a few ups and downs in their game, last game vs Nymburk was surely a disappointment for the red star Ultras which actually came in numbers as there were 6000 of them in Pionir hall, i don't except such a high attendance in today's game but home team will surely have a decent support...i except another good game of Crvena Zvezda and a win for them... btw good luck with your tips
