I'll be going to this.

Will be a big game with a big crowd. Looking forward to it.

Also......I'm pretty sure 8pm in Sydney equates to 12:30pm in Tehran. Not 11:30am. Might want to check the rest of the times to make sure they are correct or out by an hour also.

I ask the MODS to allow the AFC Asian Cup match day threads to stay in the main forum so that our members will have greater exposure. We had a AFC Asian Cup-specific forum created in 2011 but it seems we will not be doing that this year. In any case, I can create the match-day threads similar to the ones for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

*Thanks goes out to Kiarash for providing me with the template for the match-day thread.

*If possible, can a MOD sticky the thread. It would be greatly appreciated!

I just figured the same thing. Different sources post different things for the opening match. On the front page of the Asian Cup website, it says it starts at 19:00 (fixed in this thread) whereas elsewhere it shows 19:30.

I'm guessing the opening ceremony will be at 19:00 and the match will start 30 minutes later.

Back to the game. I predict Kuwait getting soorakhed in front of many Aussie fans in a huge stadium. 3-0 minimum, Tim Cahill maybe with a hattrick.

It seems the times are conflicting everywhere but I guess it has to do with the opening ceremony. I'll make the changes.

I really hate how AFC has not allowed enough time between the 2 games which will be played each day. At the WC there was at least 1 hour before one game would end and the other began but with the Asian Cup there is only around 15 min between the 2 games.

if you notice the game start 8pm local time, but you put 7pm local time, so the game is 4am not 3am

Why, what difference does it make to you?

The games are already going until 10 p.m. which is really at the limit of your body's internal clock for intense physical activity - pushing it back an hour would have made the situation worse, especially since there's a major power-down between 10-11 p.m. by the body's internal clock.

On the other hand, pushing the 1st game forward would have caused issues with the scorching heat and high temperatures, making it less safe for the players.
