[edit] Plagiarised?

I found this exact text: "Since Hong Kong played a pivotal role in the formation of the AFC, it was awarded the right to host the first Asian Cup. As the hosts, Hong Kong qualified automatically to the finals. Seven of the twelve affiliated national association divided into three qualifying zones. Hong Kong opened the tournament with a game against Israel which they were very unlucky to lose, but Israel were generally disappointing as much was expected from them. Korea Republic were crowned champions when they won the crucial tie against Israel 2-1. Three second-half goals kept the 25,000 football fans in Hong Kong on their feet. South Korea struck first (Woo Sang Koon 53' and Soung Rak-Woon 65') before Israel who were the runners-up replied with a solitary goal scored by Nahum Stelmach in the 71st minute. Hong Kong and Vietnam took third and fourth place, respectively." at this website: http://www.teammelli.com/asiancup/1st_championship_hong_kong_1956.htm#Hong_Kong_1956_

[edit] 2015 Asian Cup

The FFA (Australia) has publically stated they are going to bid for the 2015 Asian Cup. Since there is now verifiable sources quoting this, would it not be too early to create the 2015 AFC Asian Cup article? Just asking because it annoys me when people create articles for events way in the future, but in this case I think it is now justified. -- Chuq (talk) 01:15, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
