AFC Asian Cup 2023 (Qatar Champions)

Bahrain top of the group. Sth Korea 3rd if they lose.

I believe they avoid Japan because they came 2nd in their group.

 

[Zidane98]

Remember Brendon Gan from his A-League days.

 

[Zidane98]

Bloody hell what a FK.

 

[Hamingja]

Conceeded a few of those in FM. Off the bar and then back in off the keeper.

 

[Zidane98]

If Sth Korea wins do they face Japan?

Edit: Sorry forgot Japan finished second.

 

[Zidane98]

I think if they draw. If they win they should finish top.

I had a look. Winner of this group plays Japan.

Currently Bahrain as they are beating Jordan.

 

[Hamingja]

Oh goes down too easy.

Sonny puts it away.

 

[Hamingja]

Good work. Celtic will get two players back either way.

Malaysia going for the Blitzkrieg as last roll of the dice

Malaysia going for the Blitzkrieg as last roll of the dice

And it works. Romel scores. What a rollercoaster of a game.

 

[Zidane98]

3-3!!

But don't reckon they will mind avoiding Japan.

Still a huge shock.

 

[FreoRicci]

Well well. That worked out very nicely for South Korea. Avoid Japan.
Bahrain tops the group and gets Japan. Ouch

South Korea ends up on Australia’s side of the knockout stage.
If Australia and South Korea win their round of 16 games, they’ll play each other in the quarters

Uggghh, come on dude.

Show me their goal packages, I'll bet they don't demonstrate half the potential.

I'll wait.

Also again for the above post, I've mentioned he needs to be loaned out for gametime and not just sit at Bayern's training facilities. You're not even reading what you're responding to or responding to the actual context.

It's not my job to cut up highlights and decided who's is good or bad. They are highlights. Anyone looks good in them.
Again, once he starts competing against defenders who have the same physical attributes as him what else does he have to his game? Because it'll take alot more than running fast and whacking a ball to play at a high level

I've had this back and forth on every kid that's come through so far since 2006, until now I have a 100% success rate so until someone proves me wrong on it I'm gonna need to see more than a handful of career goals to blindly see a star.

 

[FreoRicci]

Australia v Indonesia Round of 16.
Saudi Arabia V South Korea.

Pretty soft team but expect anything to happen.

Worst thing is Saudis play South Korea. At least they knock each other out. But gee Australia’s side of the draw sucks

Well good on you.

Seems Bayern Munich disagree with you, so I'll trust my own eyes and their judgement.

We haven't seen an Aussie kid do what he's done, and you can't show me otherwise so will leave it at that

Lol Bayern Munich agree with me. Every transfer that every club has made is correct.

It would be nice to have Qatar's armchair ride to the semis but at the end of the day we only have to beat a maximum of 2 of the big 4 teams to win the thing. Can't ask for much more than that.

Japan and Iran knock each other out too in the Quarters if they go through.

Semi final opens up for Australia though.

Tajikistan/UAE v Iraq/Jordan

Real opportunity for Saudi, Korea and Australia to get a run through to the final

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

I only just realised that Klinsmann is managing Korea. That makes a lot of sense now.

 

[FreoRicci]

Looking at the bracket.. hard to deny the fix is in for Qatar.
Palestine in the R16, then winner of Uzbekistan/Thailand

The semi is possibly winner of Iran/Japan.

Far out
