Round of 16 other teams chat - Not Iran's

[persiangodfather]

Don't you put that on us man! I'm almost 40 now and TM already hurt me enough from 1996-2010.

We are the under dogs

Post from a Korean fan in another forum: I would say out of all the “Asian Giants”, Iran is the most in form. I still have some doubts about the Saudis, there’s been some issues internally going on with them and compared to Iran are in an easier group. I think if we did beat Japan in the Round of 16, Iran would mop the floor on us

Then they play Uzbekistan who is not exactly a walk in the park, and then Qatar?

Guys I think everyone is reaching. Any team in the QF deserves it and it will be a tough game

Korea is stronger than uzb for R16, and australia stronger than qatar for QF.

We could have japan in QF, saudi in SF, and SK/Aus in final

The funny thing is Mr. Klinsmann accused Iran during the world cup of playing in such way to deceive referees to get fouls/penalties.
I guess the truth just came out that he is biggest cheats on the planet at the moment, by faking a 3-3 draw with minnows Malaysia just to avoid facing Japan.
I hope Saudi (if they are not the next cheat) eliminate this bunch from the Asian Cup, although I don't believe I will be cheering for them now!

Iran by far is not only the best team in the tournament but is the most honest and one with integrity.

Iran was only top team who had the balls to play full squad and go full force to make sure they win group. That deserves respect especially when you compare us to these other pathetic performsnces

[arj42]

and exiting the competition at QF

[Messy]

This is the most hilarious asian cup forever... but in order for it to stay that way we need to win it.

And after looking at all the other teams, we seem to be the favorite

Bahrain record agaisnt japan: 2 wins 9 losses 1 draw

[MR.ESTESNAII]

i am so happy for Malaysians...really played their hearts out...its so nice to see these weaker teams leveling up

[Nokhodi]

For those wondering how Malaysia did so well against Korea, Malaysia's head coach is a Korean who did the following:

On 26 December 2017, Kim was appointed as Korea Football Association (KFA)'s vice-president and head of reinforcement committee. He planned long-term project to change the future of South Korean football like when he managed Hong Kong national team. He put emphasis on sports science and made football science team in the KFA to approach to players' treatment, recovery and weight training scientifically. After setting the direction of Korean football towards "proactive football", he employed Paulo Bento as national team's manager in person, and honestly disclosed his hiring process to the press.

He's basically the guy they hired to get the best out of their golden generation, especially after Iran kept beating them.

Korea has guys like this but went for Klinsmann instead.

Saudi getting a penalty.

Dont know why anyone would want to play Arab teams.

At this point I'm convinced there is a sureh in Qur'an about VAR

[IRAN_TILL_I_DIE]

Saudi missed a penalty.... makeof it what you will
