Is Pim interested in the Asia Cup?

Pim put out a third rank team for the Asian Cup game in Canberra recently. Insulted Archie Thompson prior to the game, and you have to wonder at Verbeek's motives.

The team that took the field against Ireland, a friendly on a FIFA date, had Jade North flying in from Asia and all basis covered.

Does Pim care about the Asia Cup or will he walk after the World Cup when his price will be highest?

Why did he select a third rank Asia Cup team v Kuwait, rumours abound that he didn't realise the Asia Cup were part of his contract. Hard to believe.

His third ranked team still rankles with this Canberran and why you would select such an inexperience side, particularly when he is so cautious in ever other respect.

Was he trying to show us all that the A-League players aren't good enough?
Was he showing the Aussie press why he picks who he does?

Either way he'd better lift his game. The World Cup is great but once that is over we better have qualified for the Asian Cup or he should be lynched!

By me and my Canberra mates
