That’s big for Thailand! Hope they keep the lead. Much rather eastern Asian teams than the cheating BS of the western Asian sides.
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted October 15, 2019 Subscriber Posted October 15, 2019 That Thai lead didn't last too long. The UAE are tied now. Edit: Just saw the Thai squad. Chanathip is not playing?
Toinho Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 I’ve given up on us. This second half has been utter shite. Bed time!

nudge Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 2-1 FT; a massive win for the Thais as they take the top spot in the group. Vietnam second but on equal points with Thailand after their 3-1 win against Indonesia earlier today. Cambodia last in their group after another defeat; this time 0-4 against Iraq

Somehow Nepal beat these guys 2-0 but Jordan only beat Taiwan 2-1. Mad. This is the best thing though... He actually plays for my team York 9. Good to see him get some minutes! Go on you mighty duck!

I honestly think people think Asia is some walkover and sometimes I think if more Asian countries did well at the WC then the entire AFC would get some recognition because I doubt anyone gave Japan any credit even when they almost put Belgium in their place and the only saving grace in that match was a 94th minute goal to progress from the Round of 18. Japan would have done better than Belgium at the WC but that's just my opinion. Asia is the 3rd best continent after UEFA and CONMEBOL though I'd like to think. Mexico is better than most Asian sides no doubt other than maybe Japan, but Iran and Australia in my humble opinion are better than the rest in CONCACAF. It's still way behind the top 2 continents but really nobody will come close to even CONMEBOL in a long time if ever. The competition in South America is too high, while the top Europeans will always produce world class talent. So 3rd is a good place to be and honestly I liked what Iran and Japan showed in Russia. All CONCACAF's got is Mexico really. USA will probably bounce back at some point but right now it's Mexico and nobody else.

I don't necessarily agree, Asia, Africa and North/Central America are all regions with similar quality. But the European national teams and South American national teams are miles ahead.

It's not too surprising that they have won against them again, Bahrain seem to always punch above their weight in Asia.

I'd have them slightly above North America. Africa has great players but nothing to show for it, so I'd have them below both.

Bahrain and Iran have history between them. Iran had a claim over Bahrain up until 1979.
Azeem Posted November 13, 2019 Author Posted November 13, 2019 Big game between Iraq and Iran. Iran would want to win this badly after losing earlier to Bahrain and considering the political hostility right now in Iraq for Iran will be a huge factor.

Think Iraq and Iran will come out of this group with the better scores. Weren't a lot of Iran players injured in the last match? I seem to remember them missing key goal-scorers.

Willmott is not happy with the federation and rumors are he wants to leave. The game will be played in Iraq despite Iran's concern so it will be a real tough game for them, hostile crowd, injured squad and a manager who is undecided about his future with the team.

Toinho Posted November 14, 2019 Posted November 14, 2019 Thank fuvk I woke up to the news we beat Jordan 1-0. We usually find it a tough place to go. Safe to say we will finish top.
