Iran vs. Qatar - [Match Thread] | Asian Cup 2023 | Wednesday, February 7th |

[Damavand]

Varzesh TV just reported that Qatar are making sure that not too many Iranians can be in the stadium tomorrow.

%80 of the tickets were suppose to be up for anyone who buys it first, but Qatar bought all those tickets right away without any Iranians having any chance of getting any.

Therefore there will not be anymore than around 4000 Iranians in the game tomorrow.

It was 8% yesterday
but now they saying 1k only.

If this is true then AFC is a sham of a federation...we need to slowly expand CAFA and make it an alternative to AFC or something...this is outrageous

Expect all sorts of dirty play tomorrow, the worst of the worst. This is a tough game, make no mistake

[MR.ESTESNAII]

Qatar will have a lot of supporters like jordan did...ref is definitely with them...control the game no reason to worry...qatar hasnt been a tough team

Anyone who watched the Korea v Jordan game, how was the ref there ? Were the questionable choices made, as they used an “Arab guy” too ?

One thing I don’t like is the crowd heckling / booing every time we get the ball. But let us keep positive, send positive energy to the guys, and manifest a win, like always

Nothing major, the ref was pretty fair. Even called a penalty for Korea which VAR correctly overturned.

No questionable refereeing required. Korea was truly horrible.

This year provides our best ever chance to win the AC.
I'm not discounting either qatar or jordan. But come on. usually the semis are vs. top professional, well organized and experienced teams like SK, Jpn, KSA, ... .
Neither jordan nor qatar are on par with those teams.

If we let this chance slip, through complacency or overconfidence or just simple laziness or lack of focus, we can never forgive ourselves.
I doubt ever again we'd have such a route to the trophy.
Just as long as we make use of all our experience, talent and stay focused for 90+ min (even if the refs get in our way)

important to note that by the 4000 fans they mean that qatar allocates those seats for the Iranian FA' fans, normal iranian and qatari fans(anyone normal person who buys a ticket) could be seated anywhere and couldve bought the tickets online. im also assuming that qatar has allocated much more for their fans in comparison to iran.

[Pishi_Rules]

Thanks guys for answering my question, reassuring it was a non controversial game. Let’s not just panic and get emotional yet. We just can’t put on a horrible performance like SK did by the sounds of it

[Artaxerxes]

I really hope the scars from the Syria game is going to be a blessing against Qatar and hopefully Jordan in the final to not underestimate anyone and take control from the start and play OUR game, if we do that we will win this AC.

A big plus is a rested and HUNGRY Taremi that will be on a killer mission to redeem himself and be part of a historical glory.
