Four hosts is crazy

As a fan or journalist going to the Asia Cup the problems are now clear.

Four country hosts is mad.

Imagine if the tournament was held in one or even two countries. The atmosphere create by the various travelling fans would be wonderful for World relations.

This way it is severely diluted. Although the Qataris have overcome this problem by hiring 10,000 Vietnamese fans to support Qatar!

How do you plan for the second stage. The increasing costs of moving between countries is prohibitive for many football fans in Asia.

Media have to contend with three or four countries' regulations and systems.

You couldn't make it up really.

Want to fly in for the quarter-final. Good luck. Australia could be in Malaysia or Thailand, with the final in Indonesia.

Stop laughing. Somebody actually got paid to plan this tournament, and now they've probably been promoted.

Meanwhile the rest of us will be trying to figure out which country we are in underneath the various smog filled skies!

Fox Sport never looked better!
