Iran should finish 1st but 2nd place is up for grabs. UAE weren't in good form prior to this and Bahrain doesn't quite have the skill, so unfortunately Qatar will probably finish 2nd.

 

[Big Stiff]

Iran will finish first

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

I keep forgetting matches are played. And Qatar are being smacked. For some reason I expected them to be stronger than UAE. My bad.

 

[Juddalenko]

Can't work out why Qatar keeps only putting 3 in the wall. Both free kicks, the kick taker had an open sight of goal (even if the goalkeeping was deplorable).

 

[Gavin Excell]

go the UAE

putting the U into AE

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Scoreline like ours. Will at least be second in the group, well done.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Always good to see Qatar get done. That should see them out unless they can upset Iran and the UAE should be through unless Bahrain cause a couple of upsets.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Golden chance by Iran turns into a turd. Ferguson.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Ha! Solid Iranian goal from outside the box.

 

[Milang_Panthers]

Nice goal from Iran

 

[Flapjacks]

Nice goal.

More people at this game then an ordinary Melbourne City game

 

[Milanista28]

Great goal.
Great crowd.

 

[Zidane98]

I remember sone of the crowds at Qatar 11 being in the hundreds despite locals not having to pay. Crowds have been excellent considering the teams on show.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

What a strange collision.

 

[Zidane98]

What a strange collision.

Not sure which way to call that. Williams probably got it right.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

And a goal to Iran. Game over.

 

[Milang_Panthers]

What a strange collision.

Very delibrate from the Iranian.
2-0

 

[CotchNCo]

That was an enjoyable game to watch. Iran look decent.

 

[giggler99]

Great match, Iran looked very impressive kept the ball on the ground and played some exciting football, that first goal what a cracker!!

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Will be one of the highlights of the comp.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Good to see Qatar get smashed

 

[eth-dog]

Who gets 2nd? UAE should, Iran will smash Qatar next game.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Who gets 2nd? UAE should, Iran will smash Qatar next game.

Noooooo doubt.

 

[ioppolo]

Expecting Qatar-Iran to pull a decent crowd in Sydney tonight. Meanwhile in the nations capital I expect the UAE to cement their quarter finals spot with a win over Bahrain.
