AFC Youth Championship 2006

There doesn't seem to be an awful lot of local coverage for this event, but at least we can follow the progress of the Young Socceroos on the official competition website as they seek qualification for the FIFA U-20 World Cup 2007 in Canada.

With the four semi-finalists qualifying, Australia will be desperate to avoid a quarter-final clash with Group A contenders and 11-time former champions (including four of the last five competitions), Korea Republic. To do so, Ange Postegoclou's outfit will need to finish ahead of main Group B rivals China, fellow finalists with the South Koreans from 2004. Not going to be easy.

Thanks for this link James. It is frustrating that the game kicks off in just over an hour and there will be no way to even follow it.

For the sheer hell of it I'm tipping a hard-fought 2:1 win to Australia, with Dario Vidosic scoring one of the goals.

Cheers.

If you have broadband, you could try downloading a program called "PPStream". Once you run it, you have a selection of channels to choose from, among which is the game being stream via Chinese TV. It's pretty simple to set up and get going.

Are there any games Chinese TV doesn't cover? :)
