AFC U23 Asian Cup

So our midfielders other than Nizzy have no vision so the coach takes off Nizzy.

i think it's more d'arrigo's fire power

Fair, but take someone else off. Midfield are taking so many passes to get the ball where it needs to go and Nizzy moves the ball.

 

[Yorkshire Mariners FC]

That should do it.

f'k me boot it down field

That should do it.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

So, after Group D's conclusion last night, Japan came in second behind Saudi so will play Korea in QF3.
If we get over Turkmenistan tomorrow, SF will be against the winner of that match on Wednesday night.
Saudi, Iraq and hosts Uzebekistan on the other pathway.

Apologies for the bum steer! We're currently playing QF2. QF1 is a bit later tonight so we'll play the winner of Saudi and Vietnam on Wednesday night.

god that was an ugly game

Horrible all round but no one cares we survived.
Ball movement was way to slow and Nargarine is a hog for a wannabe #10. So many easy quick passes he ignores and dribbles into trouble

 

[Ironbark]

Deserved win. Was hard to break down the defensive 5-4-1 especially with the 30 odds minutes of laying on the carpet they did. Annoying to watch as a spectator.

He and Brook have terrible vision or want to be the hero. I find them both very frustrating. They were playing for Pens and were clearly the weaker team which did not make it a spectacle at all coupled with rain and a poor pitch. Poor Alou must wonder what he has to do for some Servcie. D’Arrigo justified subbing Niz and if only Niz would take a shot but then I wasn’t a fan of Rich bringing the ball so far forward as many times as he did, he kept nullifying Niz and Francois.

brook is the problem and needs to go . i also don't understand why d'arrigo didn't start .
qudos to gauci he's been superb all tournament .
the plague of this tournament is the refereeing standard .

Totally agree on the officiating, the dribbler commentator who gets most names wrong commented how good the officiating has been and he doesn’t bring up the obvious errors and bias. Last night there was a good case for a red for a stud up tackle on Bos especially given the two reds against us so far. Ref just dismissed any questions about the tackle. I feel the boys are going to get robbed to the point they will not be able to get a result. So far they have been a strong enough team to get past the poor decisions. Shame and it’s so bad they get about 100 people watching the games live even for finals.

added to the histrionics from the west asian teams has been something else .
if the f'king hopeless AFC got off their collective arses and issued yellow cards for the carry on it would stop real quick.
in the uzbek v iraq game .in extra time there is a tackle that is probably the worst of the tournament.(worst than miller/leckie by a country mile)
it is a straight red . it's not given because the uzbeks would of rioted .after it took them 10 minutes to send off the uzbek keeper off the sort of elbow you'd get 8 weeks in a legit competition.

My husband was at work last night so missed the game, goes to replay it tonight. My son says, “so just to let you know, you are about to watch 75 mins of Turkmenistan parking the bus and time wasting”…. ?

Yes it’s not a great endorsement for Asian football. I hope we meet Vietnam as I think they will at least try and play football. Saudi may not be as bad but the theatrics will still be there. Splitting east and west Asia sounds like a great idea.

Games finishing at 1AM doesn’t make for lots of viewers. Midnight I’d make it work, 1 I’ll just catch the highlights. From what I’ve seen so far they aren’t publishing mini matches which I’d prefer.

How are you guys all watching these games? Is it on 10play? (currently overseas and trying to catch the next game)
