I liked it before I saw the responses.
After I saw them I unliked it and liked it again for double value.
The several hundreds.
The guy is classy eh.
Every game so far he has featured in he has just been brilliant to watch.
All I know about his career is that the likes of Man City & Arsenal were interested in signing him about 2 years ago but due to work permit issues no transfer deal could go through.
He did have a trial at City and from all accounts back then he was exceptional - recall reading some comments by City players back then talking him up.
He has said he is looking to make the move to Europe now ... but has admitted he needs to become a lot stronger in terms of physicality & tracking back to defend if he is to succeed abroad.
He did say recently he would move to the A-League to improve his physicality & defensive aspects of his game ... but I can only assume he is earning a killing at Al Ain so I don't think any club here could afford him other than Melbourne City (owned by Man City).
Thankfully the big two made it to the final. It would have been a disaster if either missed out.
Already excited about this.

Come on South korea..
so if the Aussies win, next time around you would have two teams from the same Region in the Confederations Cup..
Comical Really... makes a complete mockery of the Tournament...

Yeah but aren't Israel, Turkey and Azerbaijan in the Euros?
Yeh but they wil never ever reach the Confeds Cup...
(part of turkey is actually in Europe, so they are allowed)
That's right.
And without opening a can of worms here. Israel is in Europe while Palestine just played in the Asian Cup.
Meh.
Works hard, runs fast, couldn't score with a golden dick.
He's played about 30 games and scored 1 goal. And that was in a friendly. Against Canada.
So in other words he is still scoreless in his international career.
Had an decent world cup ...
But in the Asian Cup he has been rather frustrating to watch at times ... has had a few good assists but should really be delivering a lot more than that.
Has ridiculous pace but does not have the skills on the ball to match. Get into great positions with the ball - isolates the defence and gets into 1v1 - but either gets tackled or his touch screws him over big time.
Very frustrating to watch. Too erratic.
If he can just settle down with the ball at his feet & compose himself he can be a terrific player.
FINAL IN A FEW HOURS!
Australia vs. South Korea at Sydney Olympic stadium - 80-90k capacity, sold out.
This is going to be huge!
9am kick off UK time.
Once again I encourage everyone to watch this game.
Liverpool target Matt Ryan should be quite involved in this game given South Korea have a strong attack.
Here's hoping the Socceroos do the job!

Wow some brilliant goals here in this game. Nice strike from distance for the Aussies, and then Ki with a nice tap sets up Son for a late equalizer in injury time.
