The truth is that the ignorant mass half of the fans, the Asian Cup arouse more or less the same interest as a marathon plenary sessions of the House of Representatives. Man, I do not know why it is, must be in the Asia Cup is less mystical than a phase-out session " Challenge Regions." But the same spirit of search and disclosure knowledge that has led us to develop kilometer posts that nobody reads, leads us to investigate and find out about this old and chelate (?) Cup, this competition that brings in a few games of shit (?) the passion of a hobby that is in the millions and does not know football moo. Do not be afraid to read this, who knows whether, when sterile progress in some disco, captures the interest of the female when releasing data from the Asian Cup scorers of 64. Anything is possible, until you go 16 hours a day stuck in the computer and still get up, everything is possible, anything is possible, anything is possible ... ( ended Side A motivational cassette, please turn it ).
IHong Kong Cup in 1956. Champion, South Korea. And how all started
all started, like all things, a day (?). On May 8, 1954 meeting in Manila (Philippines) representatives of the Federations of Afghanistan, Burma, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Republic of Korea (ie the South), Pakistan, Philippines , Singapore, China and Vietnam , in order to form an association Confederate Asian nations want to play soccer. Result: AFC (Asian Football Confederation). Eye there are several little things to clarify: when it comes to China we're not thinking about the powerful, the communist giant, but in the non-existent, the capitalist, the small and prosperous island called Taiwan . The point is that in those distant times the free world (?) Not yet recognized the communist government took power in China in 1949 but who fled to the island of Taiwan, which today is not independent but yeah. That is, more or less. It is also necessary to clarify that Vietnam was just south of the country, as the North formed their own nation under the leadership of Ho Chi Minh was more aware of annihilating French positions at Diem Bien-Phu and prepare for the arrival of "advisors" Yankees to kick a ball.
In a visionary way of the AFC were also needed a continental competition to help develop the sport and turning to Asian nations in world football powers. Very nice all, but that little matter of "powers" still in the folder " Earrings" . So they decided to make the first edition 2 years later in Hong Kong , and meanwhile see how he was the continent in his first involvement with an independent country in the World Cup (in 1938 Dutch East Indies - now Indonesia, was still colony when he went to France) that same year, with South Korea who won dancing classification Japan in Seoul and Tokyo tying 2 months earlier. I was like an ass (lost 7-0 to Turkey and 9-0 against Hungary), but at least broken the inertia.
Meanwhile, Hong Kong breathed entire Asian Cup (?). And the first edition of the Cup in 1956 was a éssssito: involving 11 countries were divided into 3 groups of classification, more local. In the first there was a mass defection because of the damn politics, Pakistan and Afghanistan because they refused to compete against Israel , new staff member of Asia, for that matter of Palestine. In group 2, South Vietnam Malaysia got off to and Cambodia and South Korea 3 passed over Philippines and China (I know, Taiwan). The winners of each group together with Hong Kong in a square to round, he won with some trouble South Korea, becoming the first champion of the Asian Cup. That is, the continental champions was a country emerging from a fratricidal war hell, and had been ashamed to finish in the World 2 years ago. Interpret my silence.
A special tournament matches are played for 80 minutes (!!!!!), dyeing the whole thing an almost eyaculante amateurism. The first Asian scorer in history was an Israeli, Nahum Stelmach , with 4 goals was to Tel Aviv at Kibbutz trophy-Kannonieri (plop!)
The Cristiano Ronaldo Tel Aviv (?): Nahum Stelmach II Cup in South Korea 1960. Champion, South Korea. In your face, Kim-Il Sung, fucking old (?)
had already started the tournament and how it ended. By 1960 the South Koreans won the right to host the championship, and as such agreed to stage a final. Where accompanied Israel , which removed without problems in the preliminary phase to India, Pakistan and Iran , plus China (Taiwan) , which gave the thud in Manila to beat Hong Kong 7-4 to , which previously had won 7-0 in Philippines , who had also lost 7-4 (yes, really) against Taiwan. It was pure baseball game this, the bitch. And accompanied South Vietnam, who won the Group of Death (Brrrr) to Singapore and Malaysia . In the final homer South Korea won again, this matches the 3 smooth, crowned a second time as the Asian monarchs. Seconds once the Israelis left. Korean Cho Yoon-Ok scored 4 goals and was like Pee-chi chii (??). Ah, the games were lasting 80 minutes ...
Israel III Cup 1964. Champion: Israel
For the first only time Israelis and hosted the most important tournament on the continent that would tear like dogs (?). But as expected, the Arab countries which garrisons deserted en masse in the Upper Syrian Golam. So India Default qualified for the finals, which were to accompany the premises, being defending champions South Korea and Hong Kong , who overcame obstacles placed by the warm South Vietnam, Malaysia and Thailand. So Ramat Gan, Jaffa, Haifa and Jerusalem were going to play 80 minutes of the most beautiful sport in the world (?). The locals did their thing with some delivery against Hong Kong (1-0) and watched as the South Koreans shamelessly shoulder one against India (in whose selection they played at least two who were also his country in international cricket) losing 2-0, a result not expected or Brahva Bahrra the most optimistic of Calcutta. Embarrassing. With another 2-0 win over India and the struggling South Korean 2-1 in the last day, the Israelis were raised only once in your life with a major trophy. In Israel stood out from everyone who called it "Israeli Pele" (seriously), Mordechai Spiegler an entire Zionist football glory.
India team players that made history in 1964. From Left to Right: Bhramaputhra, Siddhartha, Karma, Gotama, Bollywood, Mowgli, Bagheera and Rushdie. Cup IV in Iran 1968. Champion, Iran.
At that time the country of the Persians had nothing to do with it and bored rigid theocracy of today: at that time commanded by Muhammad Reza Shah Pahlavi , King of Kings, Light of the Aryans, King following a line of kings inaugurated in the seventh century BC Tehran was a city well bacana, with rumba and luxury and dissipation. And in that environment, the local team, which had only pity in previous editions, won the title for the first time in its history. A Final Phase Burma came (!!!!) which eliminated without breaking a sweat to Cambodia, Pakistan surprise and ex-Hindus who fucked up a promising second place 4 years ago being in last place in their group. Hong Kong said "this year if " and returned to qualify for finals bypassing South Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore. Which Taiwan also made in their group, eliminating Japan, Indonesia, Philippines and surprisingly South Korea, who were passing over black period of his glorious (?) history. So this time, the group that defined the champion of Asia was a Pentagonal, who won easily beating Iran in their 4 matches and leaving as given Bezhadi Homayoun, who apparently is one of the great historical names Persian sport. If I had no fucking idea who the fuck is this, do not feel a brute I confess that if I if I say that is another historic Ana Mazhari believe me.
The sixty Iran V Cup in Thailand 1972. Champion, Iran.
repeated Iranian4 years later, supported by a winning generation and organized soccer. This time in a tournament that first final was decided at a , bypassing the 6 teams in the final stage in 2 groups of 3, in which classified the first 2 (ah good) to a semi and then you know . Oh and the first time Israel had no , who was expelled (or quit, do not know) the AFC for political reasons. In Group AI ran and left out to Thailand Iraq, while the B's renewed South Korea and Cambodia rookie left with nothing to Kuwait. The final was sung between the Persians and Koreans, who won their semi-final (very scared Koreans on penalties 2-1 against Thailand ). But the title went back to Tehran through a dramatic match 2-1 in a defined in extra time, thanks (?) To a goal by striker made Hossein Kalani.
Cup VI in Iran 1976. Champion: Iran
And again the Iranians played premises, and won. Razed, their fans (?). And for the first time the world watched (so to speak) en un torneo continental a la República Popular China , milenario país que alberga muchos misterios, entre ellos el de cómo tener a más de mil millones de personas y no poder haber entre ellas al menos una que juegue decentemente al fútbol. Una cosa increíble. La aceptación de la China Popular implicó que a la Taiwan le tocara abrirse a jugar con los muertos de Oceanía. Los dos cuadrangulares que definían los semifinalistas los ganaron Kuwait y China , por un lado (fuera Malasia ) e Irán e Irak por el otro (fuera Yemen del Sur , que había pasado simplemente porque 4 países desertaron in your group). Iran China beat Kuwait and Iraq to the semifinals. And finally, the championship was on the 3rd and last time until now to Iran , which sufridamente won the final in a packed Azadi Stadium in Tehran's nascent Kuwait 1-0.
Iranians celebrating what would be their last continental achievement, and also the last time you were able to celebrate with whores, alcohol and parrot without being beaten by the religious police (?)

Cup in Kuwait 1980. Campeón Kuwait.
Lo de los kuwaitíes en 1976 fue medio sorpresivo porque nadie lo tenía en los papeles. Pero la verdad es que se trató solamente de la consumación de un hecho que ya había comenzado a hacerse efectivo: la inyección desmedida de petrodólares para lograr resultados deportivos sin talento . Para darnos una idea de la cantidad de plata que ponían los jeques desde esos lejanos años, mencionemos que en la Copa del 76 el DT de los kuwaitíes era Mario "Lobo" Zagalo , que apenas unos añitos antes había sido el DT campeón mundial con Brasil. O sea: la cosa era meterle billete a lo loco en forma de centros de alto rendimiento, tour, quality equipment, and try to see if among the million-plus Kuwaitis (of which half were in the country) could be a once wisely. And they did, the shit they (?). By 1980 he was no longer the old "Wolf" but his assistant, Carlos Alberto Parreira as , then completely unknown in the world (while at that time everybody thought that Carlos Alberto was the famous side scored the last goal of the World Cup final 70). That began to forge his career in 1980 at the tournament in the small Persian Gulf emirate. This time the organization will put more rigor to the subject, and instead of classifying 2 semi-finals of a group of 3 now were the same 2 but one of a 5. In Group A Iran , speedily went to the semifinals, along with North Korea , while the B passed South Korea and Kuwait .
But I could not pass up the shit that never fail: championship amidst the invasion of Iran in Iraq that gave rise to the war that lasted 8 years . Chronicles say that we read in Al-Jazeera (?) That publicly supported the Kuwaitis to Iraqis, and to prove it went on TV giving their propaganda and invasion. Of course, side concentration of Iranians liked the subject, and worse considering that the brother of one of his figures had died in the invasion. Whatever it is the Kuwaitis won the distressed Iranian surprisingly 2-1 in the semis, and then the Koreans, 2-1, becoming the first and only time so far in the monarchs of Asia. His good time lasted until 1982, where he qualified for the World scraped a point to Czechoslovakia.
Kuwaiti Football legends
And we got here. The truth we speak of the Asian Cup from of 1984 refers to petrodollars and you lose all the funny to the point. Because if you take away the exotic, bizarre and curious, is football, and it has less quality than a generic remote control $ 5,000 ...
