Thanks for posting this video mate!! Japan is way stronger than asian teams ,almost to the level of top 20 teams in the world.
if you see the highlights you will actualy see how japanese team are man marking and defending and how good their game plan is. as siavash said mentaly they were above argentina. and if they bring their U23 team we MIGHT beat them,, although we lost to Kuwaits U 17 team few days ago LOOL

BTW, that was Argentine full team from WC2010. SK also beat Brazil in 2009.

There will be two moons in the sky if we win Asia with this TM.

Japan and S.Korea never take Asian Cup seriously.

Japan is going to play Copa America 2011 in Argentina as a guest country, so they may not call up their European players at the Asian Cup.

It was too obviously, I mean, a textbook case offside. The goalie did not have the full possession of the ball and the rebounded ball cannot be taken by someone who was previously offside.

Amazing no one is talking about it.

P.S. There were 2 players who were offside, one clearly and the other barely but definitely.
The barely offside player scored but the clearly offside player was in a very threatening position too.
If this is not an offside I don't know what is.

I suppose Argentinians were just too embarrassed to complain.

It was actually 1999, not 2009. The Brazilian team was an A team in name only. However the Korean goal was legit, not an offside goal like Japan's.

Korea however beat Germany's A team with their B+/A- team(Park JS, Seol, LYP weren't there). That was 2004.

"The 2005 edition of the Laws of the Game included a new International Football Association Board decision that stated being "nearer to an opponent's goal line" meant that "any part of his head, body or feet is nearer to his opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent (the last opponent typically being the goalkeeper). "

Even the goal scorer had his shoulder lunging foward and was clearly over the next to last Argie defender.

Watched the game. Argentina had more possession but Japan was the better side overall.
They could have scored another goal.

Imo Japan and Australia are currently ahead in Asia.
Australia's 4 points at the WC was more important than the Koreans considering the difficulty of the group and after the WC, they have had decent record against quality sides (Switzerland, Poland and Paraguay) under the new manager called Osieck.

either way. Argentina did not score anything. And this goes against TM goal against Brazil. Niether one is offside. Not at this level.

...And this goes against TM goal against Brazil. Niether one is offside. Not at this level.

Both were offsides. TM's (non)goal was more clearly offside though. There is no such thing as "not offside at this level".
