Japan, North Korea to meet in Asian qualifiers for 2014 World Cup

It will be interesting match, if not media will make it so. My prediction? stronger will winner, that is NK.

Nah, Japan will pants them. Japan are the strongest Asian team by a good margin at present, North Korea will not trouble them.

Not so sure Tamarama. To go and get a result in North Korea with 120,000 rabid fans baying for blood would be intimidating. Yes, the Japanese do have the big Euro stars now, but I reckon it will be close at least for the Korean leg. I fancy the socceroos chances of easing through their group too.

Yeah, well the Socceroos are going to be very interesting this time around. It's time to retire the old boys - the Golden generation need to step away gracefully and let the new guard develop as a team. That's Holger Osciek's job,and I hope he does the right thing. Harry, Lucas, Schwartzy, Grella, Culina all need to step aside. I'm actually a bit worried about our chances of qualifying this time around, unless they really develop the next tier of players.

They work hard to want to become more competitive in the world, not only in Asia. Whatever opponent they face in Asia, I know that they can go to the final. 加油，サムライブル。

This will be fun. Good luck to all. I'm rooting for SK, but I still hope Japan does well.

it would be Great to see Japan Beat NK really Bad like 8-0. But im curiouse to see IF people here will be as happy when they beat US in a soccer game. considering all the bad stuff NK does towards Japan. im expecting to read all sympathy comments towards NK from alot of readers/ users.
