I think by the end of this tournament every team that doesn't get out of the group stages will have a new coach. I guarantee if we don't make it out then Constantine will get the sack too.

Well i can understand about Syria as they almost knocked out Australia from the World Cup and not winning against Palestine is much a fall from where they were a year or two ago.
nudge Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 Vietnam match about to kick off; hope they don't get completely thrashed by Iran...
Azeem Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 Iran is all over Vietnam, they are just sitting too deep and no space. Iran should take more cracks from outside & send more high balls into box Too much passing around
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted January 12, 2019 Subscriber Posted January 12, 2019 Can't see Vietnam getting anything out of this.
nudge Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 Vietnam look better since Van Toan came on for Van Duc. Should have buried that one chance they had...
Azeem Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 The only crack so far in the Iran team is their left back surprisingly their first choice for that position who played all the matches in the WC has been benched in both games.
Administrator Stan Posted January 12, 2019 Administrator Posted January 12, 2019 Is the guy that did that shite throw-in in the World Cup in Iran's squad?

Guest Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 Pizzi is still in charge of Saudi Arabia ffs. In fairness they did have a good world cup bar the Russia game. However, I don't get what he tries to play with Saudi Arabia. Patient possession game? They are more work horses. They run at defence and try to beat their marker, not tiki taka for christ sake. I'm keen to see if he does well in this Asian Cup but I don't have high expectations of the Saudi's. Semi-finals at the very most I think.

Their performance against North Korea was second only to Iran in the first round, an all Western Asian final is on the cards considering its being played in West Asia and how the usual favorites have started the tournament. Qatar and Jordan are also good shouts for semi final and final competitors

Saudi Arabia might have more quality but I really do not rate Juan Antonio Pizzi on the touchline.
Guest Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 Lebanon along with Yemen are the worst team in this competition.

Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted January 13, 2019 Subscriber Posted January 13, 2019 Qatar are having a field day here. Remind me how NK even got to this tournament?
Azeem Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 North Korea are shit but nothing to take away from Qatar. I can see them knocking out one of South Korea or Australia.
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted January 13, 2019 Subscriber Posted January 13, 2019 At least in North Korea, it was them who won 6-0.
Guest Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 Ritsu Doan is surely Japan's next star. He's absolute class.
Guest Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 Can't tell if Oman's backup keeper is good, or Minamino is just bad at finishing.
Guest Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 Game has gotten a bit dull, so I'll do the knockouts should they start today. India vs South Korea Iran vs Syria Jordan vs Thailand Japan vs Saudi Arabia China vs Turkmenistan Qatar vs Iraq UAE vs Kyrgystan Australia vs Uzbekistan
Azeem Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 Oman denied a clear penalty for handball. VAR for Asian Cup
Guest Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 Uzbekistan vs Turkmenistan is a guaranteed snoozefest. I refuse to watch a low quality game where Hector Cuper is the manager.
Azeem Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 Uzbekistan now need to draw with Japan to finish top of the group means Iran and Japan won't face each other till the final.
