Viet Cong might lose a battle but they always win the war... 

Seriously though,Tran Dinh Trong is a big loss, but I'm more perplexed about the exclusion of Nguyen Van Quyet and Nguyen Anh Duc. The latter particularly as he's been in a great form last season and been scoring regularly both in the league and in the Suzuki Cup... There are plenty of talented youngsters in the squad but his omission is still very weird.

This tournament is Quang Hai's time to shine.

Since all of you have some interest in Asian football. You all up for a prediction league similar like the World Cup one for this to make this Asian Cup a bit more interesting ?

@Stan Since its based on your idea and India will be there and i need one more two make three groups of four So ?

It will be only knock-out but there will be a consolation bracket for the losers to continue participating in the game.

South Korean players get military exemption for winning the Asian Games gold but not for the Asian Games. I can understand that but footballing wise that's odd. 

It's because this is a football only event, the rules now mean that you only get exemption for events that are multi sport - because they had complaints that it was unfair.

Son won't be playing in the early games as a deal for his release in the Asian Games last August.

Yeah missing the two easy group games, then joining for China and beyond.

Hope they get knocked out early though, we need him - he's incredible.
