Everything looks great for Australia so it could be a "Set Up"

[webmaster]

well, look at who benefited from Iran and Japan crashing out. And guess where Mr. Williams is from. Australia did this to win this years's edition. I have no doubts in my mind. Iran and Japan were clearly the better teams of the tournament so it would hurt them big time and now Australia has a big chance.

And I don't doubt that statement one bit Webbie jan.

Money corrupts - they want to sell all the seats, win the cup, expand soccer and facilities and have a hand in FIFA's corrupt, bribery hands with the help of the already corrupt AFC officials.

Don't worry bro. Koreans will take care of them in the finals.

We'll beat Iraq and bring tears to ben williams when he watches the final.

Japan not making the semis is due to their finishing and pk taking

Alireza Faghani was today's referee. I was so upset after Iran's loss that I didn't want to watch that game so I don't know if he made any terrible calls against Japan? Japan was eliminated in Penalties so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Iran was clearly robbed. Australia is the only one benefiting from all this and the ref was the same CQ had complained against Bahrain before, so it is obviously not normal.

He was actually flawless I watched most of the match

It doesn't make sense that a coach would complain about areferee and then the federation would stick that red for the teams quarter final game 2 weeks later. You'd think any competent organization would try to avoid that ref from that coach
