Amazing (Football) Race Asia

 Here we are, at the running track, to see the race of Asia Football Leagues.

 The whistle is blown and here we go...!

 Would you look at that! Japan certainly doesn't wait much time to reach full speed.

 He's leading the race and trailing closely behind him is South Korea! Look at Ginseng power!


 Here comes Qatar, fighting to close the gap...

 ...with Saudi Arabia breathing down his neck!

 Iran is doing quite well, despite his circumstance in the global political scene.

 But he's got to watch-out for that Australian runner, who's closing-in quite fast.

 And behind those two is Thailand...

 ...trying to make-up for a bad start...

 ...and with that pace he may just end up with a better position at the end of the race.

 Now, where are the rest? We still have Indo...

 Ah, there's Indonesia!

 What the...?

 What on earth is he doing?!?

 I don't know whether that move is legal...

 ...but how on earth is he going to get anywhere like that?

 .......

 Oh, God, this is so frustrating to watch.

 ......

 Oh, come on...

 COME ON!!@#*&!!

 Goodness, me...

 Somebody should go down there and shoot the poor guy!

 Finally, enthusiasm again!

 Here's our last runner, Malaysia. He's not part of the front runners yet, but with that steady pace...

 ...there are only good things to come!

 For one thing, he'll definitely over-take that Indonesian 'runner'!

No sympathy for him...!

This episode is based and inspired by an article written in 14 January 2012 edition of Soccer Tabloid.
The article is about the AFC Verification Score of the different professional leagues taking part in Asia Champions League. The score each country receives reflects the quality of professional football in the region and determines the allocated number of teams that will take part in the Asia Champions League.
