The Boob, Hwang, Hubner and RAN at AFCON/Asia Cup

[BlahBlah]

Stupid Aussie has just given away a 94th minute penalty.

That was never a penalty in a million years. VAR is still costing us players on the other side of the world....

 

[BlahBlah]

Stupid Aussies don't even know what continent they're in.

It's a weird thing anyway, playing an Asia Cup in the middle east, but many weird things happen these days.

There's been a big swing in sentiment and Australia now regards itself largely as an Asian country, its where all the business and trade partnerships come from and most of the immigrants. It's a strange feeling, but probably true.
If it weren't, as a country and also a continent, they wouldn't have anybody to play football against except New Zealand and the Cook Islands.

They lobbied hard to get into Asia for football terms because previously they'd end up having to play off against a South American side for World Cup qualification.....also ludicrous and very very difficult.
Now it's basically Japan, South Korea, or Saudi Arabia, compared to previously anyone from Uruguay, Chile, Paraguay, Peru, Ecuador, Columbia etc.,.much stiffer opposition.

 

[SuperGran]

Boubs on for mali

 

[WKFWolf]

Boubs on his way back then. Unlucky for him

 

[JadeWolf]

Boubs out.

 

[arctic rime]

Back for Brentford, only Hwang now

 

[JadeWolf]

Back for Brentford, only Hwang now

Think Hwang will come back with a champions medal. Imagine the Tottenham game when Son and Hwang both return.

 

[Netherton Wolf]

Boubs out.

Bit cold for that

 

[Wigan Wolf]

Boubs out.

We’re not burning the bra again

 

[Netherton Wolf]

We’re not burning the bra again

What's a bra

 

[JadeWolf]

Just a slightly different topic but once he’s back can we have Hwang on penalties please? He’s absolutely nailed the two I’ve seen this week for Korea. Sarabia’s was nice and cool on Thursday in fairness though.

Nailed his one v Fulham away as well.

Would fancy our chances in a shootout with Hwang, Cuhna and Sarabia in the side

 

[Aurum Lupus]

I hope they win it and he wins the golden boot.
Playing for your country in major tournaments is a pinnacle and his experience at that level in those games can only help us for the rest of the season and beyond
Besides, I like to see the convicts choke

Pretty sure he needs 6 goals in 2 games. I know he's playing well, but I think that's a stretch!

 

[SuperGran]

Love channy to go all the way come back with a winners medal and sky high confidence-we are just about managing without him.

 

[tonto]

Ooo I say matron

Boubs out.

I

 

[GigaWolf]

What's a bra

Steady on...south Korea play Jordan next

 

[WickedWolfie]

Don't get too excited, they scored a 98th minute equaliser in the last round and then won on penalties! Tick tock.

Can l have next week's lottery numbers please....

 

[Werewolf of Wombourne]

Boubs out.

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

Steady on...south Korea play Jordan next

Ffs Katie gets everywhere

 

[Aurum Lupus]

Ffs Katie gets everywhere

It takes a team to satisfy her these days

 

[Kashmire Hawker]

South Korea’s Semi-Final v Jordan is at 3pm today.

Good luck Hwang and Co!

 

[hollo]

If they lose could he make Brentford? How long is the flight?

Don't they have 3/4th place game...

Not sure , hopefully not...

 

[NothingButNeto]

Hwang is one of the biggest confidence players at the club - it’s in our best interest for him to win this cup!

We just put 4 past Chelsea and have already beat brentford twice in the past month. We should be OK without him (fingers crossed)

Bench for Spurs....that's all we need him for....and take it from there....if he went out tonight I would give him the rest of the week off anyway...

 

[arctic rime]

He won't walk straight back in anyway

 

[Northampton_wolf]

He won't walk straight back in anyway

He will come off the bench, but long term it will be cunha hwang neto

with sarabia to come on for one of hwang or neto at 60 to 70

Then rotation if we go deep in the cup

You might see a bit of rotation with Hwang n Cunha for some games, especially as it will keep both a bit more fresh.... especially if we go further in the cup.....think we have shown we don't have to play the 2 and necessarily flog the both...... missing hwang for a month , might be a blessing as it's showed O'Neil we can cope or at least be effective without hwang ...

 

[Eastyorksyeltz]

He won't walk straight back in anyway

Given that he has been playing in an international tournament after having an injury, (to his hip?) we will probably be lucky if he can walk at all, let alone straight back in.

 

[JonahWolf]

Hwang started, got involved in some neat interplay around the box for the penalty claim.
S. Korea seem determined to gift a goal away through sloppiness in possession

 

[SuziQ]

S. Korea seem determined to gift a goal away through sloppiness in possession

And now they have given the ball away and Jordan are winning 1-0.

 

[Aimless Balls]

2-0 Jordan after a brilliant goal.

 

[Kashmire Hawker]

And they lost 2-0. In theory, Hwang could be back for Saturday.

 

[sedgwolf1980]

Don’t profess to be an expert, but how does a team with Son and Hwang in lose to Jordan? Christ, how bad are the other 9 players!

 

[SA Wolf]

Might sound selfish, but glad that finally, S. Korea out and finally, we get all of our players back playing for the club that pays their wages. Don't follow AFCON or the Asian Cup and so it's only Wolves or England/English matches that I have an interest in.

 

[SuperGran]

Sorry for Hwang hope he’s not too disappointed

 

[SA Wolf]

Jordan great up front.

 

[dnf14]

I'm just glad Hwang is out of the clutches of Klinsmann.

I said to a young chap at work Korea would win easy....he said no chance Jordan are good....I was shocked.....he was right....quite knowledgeable for a little villa div....so we obviously don't keep up to date....
