VectisSaint Posted 29 February, 2012 Share Posted 29 February, 2012 I see Japan lost 0-1 to Uzbekistan this morning, anyone know if Chung played? Can only find the score not any other details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrant Posted 29 February, 2012 Share Posted 29 February, 2012 He played the last 25 minutes or so. Uzbekistan have an incredible defensive record, only one goal conceded in 8 qualifying games so far. Today's game was a dead rubber anyway, both sides had already qualified for the next stage, and there doesn't appear to be any weighting placed on winning the group as far as I can see.

The Japanese coach said it was not a dead rubber, that the final positions in the group did count for seeding in the next stage on one of the preview sites I read.

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 29 February, 2012 Share Posted 29 February, 2012 Why was one of Asia's leading lights only on the bench? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brightspark Posted 29 February, 2012 Share Posted 29 February, 2012 Off topic I know, but expect to see Uzbekistan in Brazil 2014. Very good team. This is certainly NOT evidence that Tadanari Lee is a poor buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Japanese coach said it was not a dead rubber, that the final positions in the group did count for seeding in the next stage on one of the preview sites I read. Ah ok, fair enough. I had a look through the qualification procedures document on the FIFA website and it didn't mention anything about seeding. The next stage is 2 groups of 5, made up of the 5 group winners and 5 group runners-up from the current stage - not entirely sure how they'd seed that, unless it's done in points order or something like that. From there, the top 2 in each group qualify for the World Cup, with the two third-placed teams playing off for the right to enter a playoff against the winners of the Oceania group (which will almost certainly be New Zealand).

JackFrost Posted 29 February, 2012 Share Posted 29 February, 2012 Off topic I know, but expect to see Uzbekistan in Brazil 2014. Very good team. This is certainly NOT evidence that Tadanari Lee is a poor buy. They got to the SF of the Asian Cup and then completely capitulated against the Aussies and lost 6-0. No prizes for guessing who got Japan's winning goal against Australia in the final Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectisSaint Posted 29 February, 2012 Author Share Posted 29 February, 2012 Why was one of Asia's leading lights only on the bench? Because they decided to play a fat boy from one of the northern islands in Japan instead. Turned out he wasn't "Japan Fit" and so they took him off 2nd half and put Chung on instead.
