When viewed from the implementation time, the biggest tournament event of the Asian continent is still one year away. But to have a discussion on the sidelines of a big league break, I don't think it's wrong, my friend, as proof that we like football.
I also don't blame you for this, just letting you know that the time is still very early although it is still possible to discuss about the biggest tournament event on the Asian continent from now on because there are so many football fans in Asia right now.
In principle, the fact that the topic will become "hot" only in a year does not interfere with a calm discussion of the forces of the teams and what is happening inside them. In my opinion, the main problem is that the hottest topic that will be ahead is the World Cup, and against the background of this, the prospects for teams in the Asian Cup (taking into account the fact that some of them will play in the World Cup) are of no interest to anyone until the end of this most important tournament.
I think that's also the case because a lot of people (football fans) are currently waiting for the world cup to come so it's more in the spotlight now than the Asian continental cup.
Although the Asian Cup is also very interesting to discuss because there are 24 countries that enter it to become champions.
I keep favorite with my country Indonesia and hope this time after 15 years not participants on Asian Cup and last time qualify by the host of Asian Cup 2007 and get automatically ticket without qualify round.
I salute you when you favor your homeland (Indonesia). But from what is seen in the list of next year's Asian Cup, it looks like the opponent this time is a little tougher for Indonesia. And I'm also happy if Indonesia can win the Asian Cup.
