Asian diving championships

[God is an Englishman]

Good to see the diving championships are over, good to switch over and watch some better quality football, setanta is well worth the money.

Love your take on the word "Quality."

I said better quality, not quality

[ozzie owl]

Didn't know you could see Setanta anymore in Australia.

I was watching this tonight and in between dives they showed some bloke kicking a football around.

I think the judges will give Kuwait a narrow win over Australia in this heat

The Asian Swimming Championships which covers swimming , synchronised events, water polo and diving are in Japan in 2016.

Why aren't they being held in Adelaide?

I blame the government.

Oh dear the bitter little ex pom who is forced to be here comes up with the decades worst ever wind up 4-1 get in there

And he is very quiet over Australia winning.

I thought you weren't watching what you called two-bob teams in the Asian Cup. You know - ones like the team who came 4th in the 2002 World Cup, the team who beat Italy in the World Cup in your homeland and who enchanted your fellow countrymen by having eventual semi-finalist Portugal on the ropes 3-0 up in the quarter-final.

Or two-bob teams like Australia who beat TWO England teams at Upton Park and who scared Italy in the 2006 World Cup and the Netherlands in the Brazil World Cup in 2014.

As for diving and pretend-injuries in the Asian Cup, I was pleasantly surprised to see less of that. The motto in this tournament - DON'T DELAY, LET'S PLAY seemed to work. Refs were very strict on any delays and I liked how they accidentally-on-purpose let so-called injured players cool their heels on the sidelines before allowing them back on after their miraculous recovery. One I timed as cooling his injured heels for 3 whole minutes despite howls of protest from his bench.

Polska Bomba, could this sensible approach be something the Laws-of-the-Game Board (IFAB) could debate at this month's AGM?

They did well to win but too much diving and they're still not Asian.

We are unfortunately European.

However, even if you believe we're not then we were forced to leave our previous confederation by FIFA.

Most of Turkey is in Asia so there is a good chance you're Asian.
