who is your favorite asian player?

Kaebi, from Iran

voted for ali karimi
others include:
nakamoura
imad al hosary (oman)
ismael matar (kind of, though he's overrated)
mahdavekia,kaebi and nekounam of iran

nakamoura
nakata
these are my favourite asian players

i tot dhorasoo was french!

yo, u only have 1 iranian player there,,,,,,,,,,,(the best in asia)
there r so many man like: keabi, nekunam.........and lot's of more.
u have 2 put them in the list.

i voted ali karimi, but there is also yasser al kahtani from saudia arabia

dhoorasoo is from mauritious, but plays for france rite?

i voted for Nakamura. Seol Ky-Hyeon, Shinji Ono and Sun Jihai should be up there too.

sorry about the confusion.
i didnt post many iranian/saudi players because im not very familiar with asian players from the west except turkey but some dont consider turkey part of asia.
i thought vikash dhorasoo was indian because my indian friends have similar names. thanks for clarifying it- i had no idea he was from mauritious.

*slightly off topic
i cant wait to see the lyon vs. psv game because from what i hear the two koreans (park and lee) are very great. if that is true, ill consider voting park (if he is that great) instead of nakamura.

of course Asias Maradona ALI KARIMI!!

Ji Sung Park, or Park Ji Sung, however way you want to put it is probably the best Asian player playing abroad in Europe right now, this guy is a regular for PSV, he is absolute quality, and a very talented player.

ali karimi he is the man.
just crazy.

So you have told us as HOOMANRONALDO and Soccer Freak. Look its fucking simple ok. You continously call people names. You continously call people homophobic names. You continously break our TOS, til we have no other option than to ban you.

YOU ARE BANNED. We are not stupid and know EVERY time you come back on SP. I WILL take further action if you come back once more and you do not want me to do that.

Get that dawg?

Nakamura!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Easy ... Ali Karimi .

Simply Impressive to say the least , great technique , great dribbling , great vision , great passing , great head play , pure class .

PArk or Karimi, Park has proved his worth in europe though, but some of Karimi's dribbles are amazing.

A personal favortie of mine, is Shinji Ono (Feyenoord and Japan).
Brilliant player, with a vision you rarely see in football.
Troubeled by alot of injury's this, and last season, but in principal he's someone who can add something to EVERY team.

i am in total agreement.

ali karimi for me aswell, i saw him in a programme on sky about the iranian national team, he looked qutie good.

mine is Sun Ji Hai, i have to admit he is not the best Asian player but he is my favorite, why ? coz he works hard, is versatile and has a familiar face , Nakata is great player and i also like Ono & the Korean pair in PSV, they really are a big part of the team.

How's about Philipino striker,Freddy Gonzalez.

Park Ji Sung. His goal against Portugal in WC2002 is the stuff of legend.

Where the hells Ali Daei

Park Ji-Sung
Lee Chun-Soo
Ahn Jung-Hwan

Out of that list, Ali Karimi. Dribbling defenders for 90 minutes and his ability to create assists is incredible...

how about, hong kong striker au wai lun

yaser al-gahtani from saudia arabia

Harry Kewell since the aussies are playin in asia!!! but on a serious note mehdavekia is my favourite player!!! but Karimi is who i voted for

I wonder why Mehdi mahdavikia is not on there but still Karimi has the same skill and is in the same skill level as Mahdavikia so my vote goes to KARIMI!

Ali Karimi turely is best Asian player of year and he been choosen by AFC too

My first ever favourite was nakata but, now its sunjihai. i do like man city but sunjihai has potential as a winger. although i do admit he is pretty poor as a right back.

Ji-Sung Park is the best.

I am not korean, but last night I watch AC Milan vs PSV.

He is the best and the most sucessful asian footballer. None on the list could match his achievement. Playing in UEFA champion league semi final and reaching world cup semi final.


Yet that not all of him, his ability in atacking and scoring goal are unmatch. Just watch the goal he score for Korea and PSV.

Even Jap Stam and Maldini(world super star) are in trouble whenever he touch the ball.

lets add some reasons aside from that player being the best...

hehehe lets stay away from that one line 3 words posts too

lets all build the asian forum to greater heights

carry on

I'll go for Mehdi Mahdavikia of Hamburg. Simply awesome player...Ali Karimi will be the next BIG thing -> watch for him!..

*vikash dhorasoo represented France and that doesnt count him as Asian player.

Firas Al-Khateeb

Al-Arabi player ..

The best player of Kuwait in 2004/2005 season ..

thanx...

Best of above are Karimi and Ji Sung Park

dhoorasoo plays for france but is actually of indian origin

atsushi yanagisawa
and nakamura

Al-Shalhoub -- Great midfielder although he is pretty short.

Al-Harthi ( has been just great so far scored two goals in two match where he only pplayed for less than 40 minutes)

both are Saudi players

cool man

robert cullen has japanese citizen or he born there?
because he doesn't look like a japanese kid to me :D

Definitely Ahn Jung-Hwan.

MOH'M. SALMAIN

BAHRAIN

it's gotta be the Shinji.

i would kill to have the money for his Feyenoord shirt right now.

Neither does Alex and alot of other Brasilian/foreign players PLAYING for Japan.

robert cullen's got japanese citizenship and one of his parents is from northern ireland. but i can't remember which. sorry mate.

i mohammed noor ho should be in the list

Muhammed Bin Salmeen

mohammed noor from ittihad KSA
