I disagree, both have declined significantly, Australia had improved to becoming a stable pick for a ro16 qualification in a mid level to decent group.

Japan is the only team that has remained somewhat stable. come on. sick of people blaming the refs for 2002 and claiming it is the only reason korea did well. there were definitely calls that helped korea, but if you actually watched them play (i recently watched the whole tourney run), that team was miles ahead of the current one. they actually did play some beautiful football
Telling me that the team was miles ahead of this one doesnt matter since no one actually disagrees with you there. Its like your comments are revolving around just the part about the referees and anything else I mentioned is irrelevant now.
I didnt say they were a bad team, they were a decent team. Any decent team can play beautiful football for parts of a game. But they were never the better team in any of those games maybe the korea tint is heavy in the goggles you were wearing while rewatching them.
The Spain game was particularly scandalous and I have little sympathy for Italy but even I felt bad for them.
I also agree that the Japanese team under Troussier was more entertaining to watch then Hiddinks Koreans. Get sick of it all you want. its the truth

I didn't think it was controversial to say Korean football has declined. The current team is no-where near as good as a few years ago.

Haha. srsly? Take a closer look at those games, that was the greates shame for refs corps. Team Korea played as 14 players vs 11 Spain/Italy step by step. 11 players +3 referees, that's how they managed to move forward.

The race at the top of The Championship is pretty close and it seems like every weekend there's a big game. Derby vs Forest is a huge local derby. But both teams need the points with Forest wanting to get back in the playoff race and Derby wanting to cement their place at the top.
Derby 1:0 at the moment coming up to half time.
edit: Assombalonga levels for Forest. Forest have been on top for most of the second half. Really important points for Derby they need to find a winner from somewhere. But Forest are still on top right now. 1:1
edit 2: Holly hell Forest have stolen it. Derby with some big points dropped and losing to their bigest and loudest rivals. This has got to hurt.
How on earth did Sunderland get Jermain Defoe was he just not happy up there in Canada? I guess MLS is out of season and he wanted to keep playing? Who knows.

That tournament as a whole had some of the worst refs imaginable. Brazil too lucked out but that is overshadowed by Ronaldos performance.

Haha, Bielik is in the match squad for us against City.
And Forest equalise!

That was our golden generation, we dominated Asian football, even got 2nd in CC2001 and still we lost to Turkey in Ro16 because we did not have ref help. South Korea would and should have met the same end
South Korea was good in 3rd-4th match imo. I dont remember them gettting help from referee.
They should've lost against Italy though.

And Forest grab the win! Surely, as they score deep in injury time.
Full time, 3 points to Forest.

One minute into Swansea-Chelsea and the commentators have already mentioned that Bony moved to City 2903834 times.
Lol Oscar scores 50 seconds in
And Sigurdsson instantly responds by hitting the post!

Spurs have also taken the lead right away.

Goal was pretty nice finish!

Couldn't City have waited till after this match before signing Bony? Feels like they are helping Chelsea here
