Let’s talk about Uzbekistan Asian Qualifiers Team (in WY)

Since I am Turkish, I am pretty familiar with our fellow Turkic brothers, Uzbeks.

If you look at Uzbekistan team in WY comic, you will see only 2 Uzbek names (only Rozimov and Nazarov) in the Uzbek team, while remain 9 players name in either Russian or Georgian.

First of all, WY comic was started to publish in December 1994, so it was after the 1994 Asian Games (in Japan), which also had footbal competition and winner was... UZBEKISTAN!

Uzbekistan football team in 1994 Asian Games had 22 players in the squad, and only 5 of them were Slavic, while remain 17 were Turkic (I can’t tell how many of them were Uzbek, since Turkic names are common and I can’t understand if they Uzbek, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Tatar or Azerbaijanian).

So here comes the question; 1994 Asian Games held in Japan, and its winner was Uzbekistan. So Yoichi at least saw that with his eyes. But why he made Uzbekistan squad full of Russian and Georgian names? What was his intention? Why he was disrespectful against Uzbeks?

I get that he is Japanese and Tsubasa and Japans must have won everything. But Uzbekistan lost against Saudi Arabia and China, which in reality they won against them in 1994 Asian Games and they were the winner of the tournament.

First he did Uzbek squad full of Russian and Georgian, and second he made them bunch of losers while in reality they were the winner of the tournament.

If I made a Japanese national team full of Korean and Chinese names, I bet Japanese people would be pissed about that. So I just wonder; why the hate against Uzbeks? Did he hate them because they won the tournament in Japan? So in his delusional world, did he get his revenge against them?

Who knows 🤷🏻 but one thing is clear, he was just being ignorant about Uzbeks and wanted to make them dirty.
