Administrator Stan 18,380 Posted January 14, 2019 Administrator Share Posted January 14, 2019 Today's games could be intriguing considering all teams still have a chance of qualifying. India vs Bahrain and UAE vs Thailand. UAE just need to match India's result to finish top. India can draw and hope UAE win to finish 2nd. Thailand, in 3rd, can win and they'll leapfrog UAE and depending on India's result, could even finish top of the group still. Bahrain can qualify despite only getting 1 point so far - if they win and UAE win, then they'll finish 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan 18,380 Posted January 14, 2019 Administrator Share Posted January 14, 2019 India 0-0 Bahrain UAE 1-1 Thailand Both half-time scores. At the moment, UAE finishing top and India in 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted January 14, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted January 14, 2019 Thailand should have sacked Rajevac way earlier... They are a completely different team now and look much better; wouldn't rule out them scoring another one as UAE doesn't seem very motivated and the Thais have taken control of the match in the second half.

IgnisExcubitor 678 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Horrible punch in the gut at the end, but to be honest Bahrain deserved the win. Looked like the only side that showed intent. It's not about attacking but at least try to hold on the ball. Even when we went behind we showed no attempts to hold the ball and play the right pass but just hook it forward aimlessly. I am being harsh, cause overall this side has showed great improvement and came within touching distance of going to the next level, but I thought it seemed like we had no plans and were just hoping to get a draw. Still proud of the lads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted January 14, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted January 14, 2019 What a heartbreak for India... Very happy with Thailand though; didn't expect that after the awful first match but they did manage to turn it around and with a bit of luck they're through to the knockout stages. Still not playing as well as they could but there's definitely improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the first game was a blip in the journey to get through for them and had it not been for a beating by us I think they'd have topped the group too.

Yeah, it's of course a speculation now but I would have loved to see how Thailand fared in this tournament if Rajevac had been sacked a month before it started. I don't like players openly criticising their ex-managers, but I've read an interview with Tristan Do today before the match and it was very obvious that the whole team is relieved that he's not in charge anymore and that definitely shows on the pitch... They'll probably go out in the next round anyway, but it's still a good achievement and maybe with a bit more luck Thailand can still spring up a surprise or two. Chanathip really is brilliant.

Guest Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 1-1 at the half. Mabil scored a very good goal to give the Socceroos the lead but Syria cancelled it out immediately. Australia have been better since the first 20 minutes but they've still been quite poor. Rogic in particular has been a ghost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
