After recently winning their fourth Asian Cup (2nd in 3 years) should Japan be considered the best Asia football nation?

Please put this question to your South Korean students tomorrow. Twisted Evil


P.S - Sorry Aussies, that was a tough loss.

Why ask young school children? Is your only point to rile up nationalist feelings from your young students? Is your life so pathetic that you must make yourself feel better my pushing down those around you (especially children)?

Asking school children a question like that and then running back to Dave's to report the "Korean reaction"......sad.

Someone really is the grumpy Senator.

Or, it could be a conversation starter that they'll be enthusiastic and energetic about.

It's like asking a bunch of school kids in my home country - England - whether or not Germany is the best footballing nation. It'll get them talking!

As long as it's posed in a joking/cheeky manner rather than talking a "Korea are worse than Japan" stance, then I can't see the harm in it.

Personally, my loyalty belongs to Korea. Let's all sing together now - 오 대한민국, 승리의 함생!

If you're going to type in Korean, at least get the persons name right.
