Korea 100% In Togel Hongkong Asia But Could Do Better

You can’t do much better than 100 percent. South Korea’s quartet of teams that started the 2010 Asian Champions League back in February have all survived the first round intact. China have lost at least three of theirs and it could be all four while Japan will see at least one and probably two fall by the wayside.

But in the Land of the Morning Calm, it has been a Togel Hongkong comfortable, stress-free progression. Pohang Steelers, Suwon Bluewings, Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma and Jeonbuk Motors are all through to the round of sixteen having played just five of the six group games.

It is an impressive achievement to see all four progress unscathed but actually, it could have been better. The top two teams from each of the eight groups progress to the knockout stage but not all are equal. Finishing in first place ensures that the one-off game in the next round is played at home. Finishing second means a journey elsewhere.

Seongnam is the best-placed and is already certain of a home tie. The Yellows can sit back and see who will finish first or second in Group G. At the moment, that is Suwon play bazaar Bluewings. It remains to be seen if either team will welcome meeting such a familiar foe on the continental stage. The local media certainly will.

Suwon’s players are kicking themselves that they are not currently occupying top spot instead of Gamba Osaka. In last week’s match in Japan, Suwon was level at 1-1 with seconds remaining until the defenders somehow let Gamba’s 17 year-old striker Takashi Usami score the decisive goal. The 2-1 win puts the J-League team in pole position.

“I thought we were heading home with one point in our hand,” lamented Suwon coach Cha Bum-keun who is lamenting often these days. “But our players seemed to have lost their concentration in the last part of the game. We gave up their first goal so easily and so soon after our first goal, and that hurt us. We want to play at home in the round of 16 but … that possibility seems to have become smaller.”

Suwon is a team that has been struggling of late with Asia being the only bright spot of what is becoming another dismal season at home. Three successive defeats in the K-League, including a painful 3-0 loss at the home of bitter rivals FC Seoul and a 2-1 defeat at home to Seongnam, preceded the Osaka disappointment and then one followed. Unless the Japanese lose in China next week and Suwon defeat Singapore Armed Forces, Suwon will be making the short trip across Gyeonggi Province.

Hell hath no fury like a Togel Hongkong nation scorned

Sifting through the ruins of Triesmangate

Ah, the Daily Wail, England’s daily register of phobias and general paranoia and the paper which once cheered Hitler, what a mess you’ve made.

In search of a bog-standard sex scandal, the Mail thrust a preTriesmantty penny (£100,000) into the hands of a woman with a history of mental health treatment, who, according to the Daily Mirror’s Sue Carroll, “makes a King’s Cross slapper look like Mother Teresa…in the court of public opinion she’s somewhere below Medusa and just slightly above Lucretia Borgia.”

Hear, hear. Melissa Jacobs is the worst type of Togel Hongkong female, of human being in fact -one who places short-term selfish financial profit above the trust of a friend and the hopes and dreams of millions who wanted the World Cup in England, where it has not ventured since 1966. Given the globalisation of the sport that country invented, it could be decades before the tournament comes around again. Secretly recording a friend who confides in you in order to make money and ruin their career is a despicable form of personal betrayal. But Jacobs’ damage to England’s World Cup hosting hopes is truly unforgivable.

Triesman was a twerp for flirting with a younger woman but so what? Does that mean England cannot host the World Cup? How conceivably can this act of entrapment be justified as being in the public interest – it merely hands our bidding rivals a huge fillip and wastes the millions of hours worked and pounds spent on handing our nation football’s crown jewel.

If England is denied the hosting rights because of one selfish loser no-one has ever heard of and never will again, may every serpent in hell feast upon the harridan’s evil soul for all eternity. And may all who are connected with the Daily Mail vow never to touch its filthy pages again, seek the forgiveness of Jesus play bazaar orever or throw themselves off Beachy Head forthwith. This was an act of treason by both slapper and tabloid, sacrilege even – football is our national faith for goodness sake.

But leaving the morality aside (this is a British tabloid after all), FIFA has been put on the back foot by Triesman’s stated belief that Spain will be influencing referees with Russian money at the World Cup. As quickly as the FA rushed to issue apologies, the associations they had offended hurried to poo-poo Triesman’s ‘absurd’ claims…but no smoke without fire.

The suggestion sounded perfectly plausible given the history of influencing match officials from Mussolini in 1934 through Guruceta Muro, the Spanish ref bribed by Anderlecht in 1984 to Italy’s Calciopoli affair of 2006 and the two German refereeing scandals in recent years. England has traditionally been the least believing nation when it comes to accusations of bought officials, but all that might have to change now. The Italian furor over Byron Moreno, the bonkers Ecuadorian official in charge when they lost to South Korea in 2002, does not seem so extreme after all.

Monday Missive: Brazil U-20 glory, more Togel HongkongMessi magic

*Brazil won the FIFA U-20 World Cup, defeating Portugal 3:2 in the final in Bogota. Mexico beat France 3:1 to clinch third.

The seleçao were top gunners with 18 goals in seven matches but Nigeria were the most prolific, averaging three goals a game. Spain were the most on-target team, shooting on goal 54 times in five games. Five of the 24 entrants failed to find the net – Austria, England (in four games), Mali, North Korea and Panama.

Three youngsters tied for the golden boot but Spain’s Alvaro Vasquez took the least time to score five – 219 minutes as opposed to 353 for Togel HongkongAlexandre Lacazette of satta king France and 557 for Henrique of Brazil.

*Scourge of FIFA Andrew Jennings continues to build the case against Chuck Blazer. The supersized American of the Ex.Co. might have blown the whistle on his CONCACAF boss Jack Warner but does not appear to be cut from much of a different cloth.

*Hernan Dario Gomez has resigned as coach of Colombia.

*Spain was unusually quiet yesterday as La Liga players went on strike over money. Actually, the nation could have done with a breather as the thermometers hit 35C, young Catholic pilgrims from across the globe succumbed to heat exhaustion on World Youth Day in Madrid and arguments continued over the latest Barça v Real bust-up earlier in the week.

The European champions won an entertaining Spanish Supercup 3:2 at home after a 2:2 draw away courtesy of another wonder goal from Lionel Messi in the Camp Nou, before the closing seconds saw the clash of the titans go back to the playground.

*Still in Spain, Valencia’s right-sided attacker Juan Mata, who starred in his country’s Euro U21 win in Denmark, is off to Chelsea, while Colombian marksman Falcao, once thought to be Stamford Bridge-bound, has signed for Atletico Madrid as replacement for Sergio Aguero.

8-2 thrashing leaves Togel HongkongArsenal empty

8-2.’8-2, eight bloody two’ as Michael Palin almost said in Ripping Yarns (8-1).

The morning after Arsenal’s worst defeat since 1896 was a sobering one.

The 8-2 capitulation at Old Trafford was slow-motion carnage or schadenfreude at its sweetest, depending on your opinon of the Gunners and Mr Wenger. It was humiliation indeed although even Tottenham supporters had to choke their chuckles as they sit bottom of the division, having been smashed 5-1 at home by Manchester City, Togel Hongkongfast becoming the first club since Blackburn to so obviously buy their way to the title.

The chasm in power which divides Wenger from Alex Ferguson is vast, despite the Frenchman’s historic transformation of London’s biggest team. While United have a new Madhur matka breed of youngsters battle-ready for Premier League action, Arsenal are blooding untried rookies with increasingly calamitous results.

Arsenal’s acute demise is being blamed on the power struggle between Stan Kroenke and Alisher Usmanov and Wenger’s ideological adherence to youth policy and non-English players. Whilst Jack Wilshere and Theo Walcott are two young Anglos who have made it through the ranks, the Frenchman’s apparent reluctance to buy hard-working English defenders and midfielders when available appears a flaw in his thinking which has come back to bite him. Indeed it is hard to imagine him recruiting the excellent Dixon, Bould/Keown, Adams and Winterburn back four he inherited from Bruce Rioch.

His adherence to statistics means if a player seems overpriced he shies away and passion, leadership and other English footballing virtues do not register on his Pro-Zone printouts. Fielding eleven multi-functional mobile dribblers is admirable in the age of tiki-taka but how Arsenal could do with another Petit and Vieira in the middle to stop opposition attacks dead.

Moynihan, crassly, sported a Charlton Athletic tie for his TV appearances – he was MP for nearby Lewisham East at the time, but wore his soccer knowledge lightly as he told us again and again the only way to stop hooliganism was for all fans to carry cards. The then government was football-unfriendly, with the exception of Nottingham Forest-supporting Ken Clarke, and made no effort to tap into the sport’s popularity like every subsequent government has.

Thatcher’s provincial market town upbringing and education at Oxford had kept her far from professional football and the industrial regions it sprang from. Her reign coincided with the darkest years of English hooliganism but she adamantly refused to accept that it was social, rather than footballing problems, that she was dealing with.

The opposition to ID cards was near-universal amongst football folk and the whole sorry episode was instrumental in giving birth to a national supporters’ association in response to a suddenly politicised environment.

It was the Hillsborough Disaster of 1989 and the subsequent Taylor Report which delivered the coup de grace to Thatcher’s foray into football. The axing of a dud idea was welcome, but it should not have taken 96 deaths for it to have happened. CCTV had already turned the tide against stadium violence, and by the early 1990s, football fighting was just no longer a cool thing to do. Cards would have made no difference.

The Iron Lady resigned in 1990 and Moynihan scuttled away into the shadows after losing his seat at the 1992 General Election, only briefly reappearing in court in 1996 to claim the title ‘Baron Moynihan’ after the death of his brothel-keeping half-brother. Football fans were glad to see the back of him.

Perhaps the Celtic associations do have nothing to fear from the passing novelty of a UK team, but being clearly petrified of the unthinkable, they have every right to refuse to participate.

What Moynihan the BOA man fails to understand is that Olympic football has so little prestige compared to the real prizes in the game that the three smaller British associations play bazaar cannot allow a minor competition they never enter anyway to risk ending their existences.

Against this background, a man with apparently no knowledge of the sport really should back off. Football decisions should be down to football people, and Moynihan is not one of us. If no association apart from the FA wishes to participate in the UK eleven then we can all live with that.

One man who knew how to deal with Moynihan was Brian Clough. Cloughie referred to him as ‘The Miniature for Sport’ and brought a puppet of him onto television to ridicule. When Moynihan charged onto the field to congratulate Britain’s gold medal-winning hockey team at the 1988 Olympics, Clough judiciously pointed out how Moynihan could never again lecture football fans about pitch invasions.

When Lord Justice Taylor killed the ID cards off once and for all, Cloughie concluded,

“I would like to thank Mr Moynihan, and anyone who is above him…which is most of us.”

New Qatar Stars League rookie Lakhwiya left fans overwhelmed by a 4-0 clinical defeat against Al Sailiya Minnow. The club invests heavily in local and foreign players. Striker Mohammed Razzaq scored all four goals (56th, 59th, 62nd and 89th). Al Saililiya seemed to have broken in the first half, but in the second it was useless. After the first goal, they seemed to give up.

AFC Champions League semifinalist Umm Salal scored the last goal and drew 2: 2 against Al Arabi. Earlier, they soon returned from the goal and took the lead 2: 1. The Al Arabs led Everaldo Pereira, but Umm Salal was hit by Davi Jose and Delhi Bazaar Satta King Gabri Garcia. Argentine Leonardo Pisulichi failed Al Arabi.

Soria led his team in the 10th, but Al Kharaitiyat immediately equalized through Yahia Kiepi. Three minutes later, he scored again and took his team 2: 1. Soria, who showed poor form, paid for his side in the 55th settlement. Brazilian Marcio Oliveira ended the match in favor of Qatar SC with a solid hit in 81. In the last game of the first week, Al Khor drew Al Wakra goalless.

Nothing like Christmas causes old and unresolved family problems.

With the rest of Europe, isolated from England, in hibernation, 32,000 people visited Barcelona’s Olympic Stadium last night to watch Catalonia beat Honduras, the 4-0 winner of the World Cup last summer, with Bojan Krkic of Barca.

The Catalan Eleven also had the standard of Blaugran Carles Puyol and teammate Sergio Busquets, who both climbed to the Spanish World Cup in South Africa after the World play bazaar Cup this year. Although Barça is tough on the team, the Catalan team actually has many players from another team in the city, Español.

The Catalan national team remains unknown in FIFA or UEFA, as do some “countries” in Europe, such as Corsica, Gibraltar, Jersey, Kosovo, Monaco and the Vatican. FIFA now demands full recognition from the United Nations before it punches anything rubber, but in its attempt to accept the “forgotten countries”, they focus their imperfections on the state of football. sovereign states such as Andorra, the Faroe Islands Togel Online Islands, Liechtenstein and San Marino, as well as the four countries that make up the United Kingdom, with only one UN seat.

The upcoming season in Spain or in the middle of the winter break are the only times the Catalan national team can really come together, but with evidence of recent departures, their team, which is now training Barcelona idol Johan Cruyff, could be a force. to be in European football when it is played. always: Last year they defeated Diego Maradona 4: 2 at Camp Nou, last year they defeated Colombia 2: 1 and in 2003 they defeated Ecuador 4: 0, five years after a memorable 5: 0 defeat with Nigeria. And tonight Catalan aces Cesc Fabregas, Gerard Pique and Xavi, the footballer of the year 2010 at the 2010 World Cup, are not in their lineup.

Brazil

Holders of the South American Under-20 Championship can never find a weak spot. The man in charge of today’s Canarinha is Dung’s right-hand man Rogério Moraes Lourenço. All teams in Brazil play in good faith in their home country by law, which now prohibits players from traveling abroad on their 18th birthdays. Not even if the national team is facing seven World Cup titles in the under-20 and 17-year-old categories. Brazilian youth teams were able to collect silver in another seventeen tournaments in South America.

One look: Douglas Costa (Gremio)

Colombia

Colombia faces a difficult task in the first attempt to advance from the first phase of the group. Coach José Helmer play bazaar Silva has recently been hired and will have to organize his units well if they have a chance in the competition. Failure to qualify for the last U20 World Cup will provide the impetus needed for a single country to break Brazil and Argentina’s dominance in the league over the past 25 years. Another plus for Colombians is that their fans don’t have to travel far and have to come out in numbers to support their team.

On guard: Camilo Vargas (Independiente Santa Fe)

Chile

Chile’s expectations are high after the country finished third three years ago at the Under-20 World Cup in Canada. The problem is that coach José Sulantay and most of the team have moved on in the meantime. Substitute coach Ivo Basay will have to work with the players around him to meet expectations as much as possible. Chile has already robbed the influential Eduard Vargas, who was forced to resign due to injury.

Brazil

The holders of the South American under-20 championships are never likely to field a weak side. The man in charge of the current Canarinha is national boss Dunga’s right hand man Rogério Moraes Lourenço. All of Brazil’s squad play in their homeland courtesy of the legislation which now makes it illegal for players to ply their trade abroad before their 18th birthday. It’s not even as if the national side were struggling, with seven World Cup titles in the under-20 and under-17 categories already beside their name. The Brazilian youth teams have also managed to collect silverware at a further seventeen South American tournaments.

One to watch: Douglas Costa (Gremio)

Colombia

A tricky task lies ahead for Colombia as first they Indian satta try to advance from the initial group stage. Coach José Helmer Silva has only recently taken up the post and must organise his troops well if they are to stand any chance in the competition. Failure to qualify for the last under-20 World Cup could provide the spur needed for the only nation to have broken Brazil and Argentina’s dominance of this competition in the last 25 years. Another plus for the Colombians is that their fans do not have far to travel and should turn out in numbers to support their team.

One to watch: Camilo Vargas (Independiente Santa Fe)

Chile

Expectation is high in Chile after the country finished third in the under-20 FIFA World Cup in Canada three years ago. The trouble is that coach José Sulantay and most of the team have since moved on. Replacement coach Ivo Basay must work with the players he has at his disposal to manage expectations as best as he can. Chile have already been robbed of the influential Eduardo Vargas who was forced to withdraw with an injury.

One to watch: Marcos Medel (Audax Italiano)

Ecuador

Many of Ecuador’s squad have already tasted success when their country scooped the gold medal at the Pan-American Games two years ago in Rio de Janeiro. Coached by Julio Caesar Rosero, known simply as The Emperor, Ecuador will be going all out to bag one of the four under-20 FIFA World Cup spots up for grabs. Anything less than qualification for the tournament in Egypt later this year would be viewed as a disappointment for this talented bunch.

Under the Gee Joon are the pairs (Bo), which can be made up of matched or unmatched tiles that have the same totals. In order of rank from high to low, they are:

6-6 & 6-6 Heaven
1-1 & 1-1 Earth
4-4 & 4-4 Man
3-1 & 3-1 Goose
5-5 & 5-5 Flower
3-3 & 3-3 Long
2-2 & 2-2 Board
6-5 & 6-5 Hatchet
6-4 & 6-4 Partition
6-1 & 6-1 Long Leg Seven
5-1 & 5-1 Big Head Six
6-3 & 5-4 Jaap Gow – mixed nine
6-2 & 5-3 Jaap Bart – mixed eight
5-2 & 4-3 Jaap Chut – mixed seven
4-1 & 3-2 Jaap Ng – mixed five
There is no numeric order to this ranking, so you just have to learn them.

Wongs

The next level of hands beneath the Bo are called Wongs. They are a nine paired with a double play bazaar six or double one. The double six combinations outrank the double one combinations.

6-6 6-3
6-6 5-4
1-1 6-3
1-1 5-4
Gongs

The third level of hands are called Gongs. They are a eight paired with a double six or double one. The double six combinations outrank the double one combinations.

6-6 5-3
6-6 4-4
1-1 5-3
1-1 4-4
Other Hands

If you do not have any of these hands, then add up all the pips on the two tiles and take the total, modulus ten (i.e. keep the last digit of the total as your score). This is the part that is like Baccarat.

Breaking Ties

After all of this, in the event of a tie, the ranking is settled based on individual tile values. From high to low the tiles are ranked and named:

t
Tile(s) Name
6-6 Teen
1-1 Day
4-4 Yun
3-1 Gor
5-5 Mooy
3-3 Chong
2-2 Bon
6-5 Foo
6-4 Ping
6-1 Tit
5-1 Look
6-3 & 5-4 Gow
6-2 & 5-3 Bot
6-1 & 5-2 Chu
4-2 Luk (part of Gee Joon)
4-1 Ng
3-2 Ng
2-1 Saam (part of Gee Joon)
The 4-2 and 2-1 tiles are scored by how they are played, but they are the lowest ranking single tiles.

Tips for Playing

About 80% of the time, you should play your hand by using the following strategy:

1. Look for pairs and look for unmatched pairs which are harder to see.
2. Play the 6-6 or 1-1 with any tile totaling 7, 8 or 9.
3. Play the two smallest tiles that total to 7, 8 or 9.
   Every hand can be played three different ways, so be careful. Getting a very good high hand can lead to a very weak low hand and result in a tie. However, a more balanced high and low hand can result in a win.
