But they will get what they deserve

[Damavand]

^ Our problems are not one or two things. We can try joining UEFA but they will never accept us because we have to acknowledge Israel, which the Akunds will never do. We can try joining Oceania but can you see the problems with flying across the Asian continent to play our QF games.

So we are stuck with Asia which is infested by ARAB corruption.

All you say is true but do you think any of it will happen under the Akhund regime. And please don't bring up volley Ball. You will never see the masses dancing and celebrating in the streets for Volley Ball.

This Asia Cup has been the worst, in my opinion even dirtier than 1992 in Japan and 1996 in UAE.

1. Ben Williams made calls in favour of Bahrain(vs Iran), Saudi Arabia(vs Uzbekistan). Surely suggests he must have been paid very well by his Arab friends of the Persian Gulf. Again he did that for Iraq(vs Iran) perhaps this time his Emirati + Saudi buddies paid him well to have Iran eliminated after topping Group C or rhetorical question of maybe Australia's Israeili-born Lowy had something to do with Iran's elimination???

2. UAE's huge 4-1 win over Qatar is extremely suspicious! Qatar homeland of Bin Hammam finished bottom of Group C. Bin Hamam was a huge arch rival of both Bahraini Salman Al-Khalifa and Emirati Al-Serkal.

3. Jordan homeland of Prince Ali Al-Hashimi(a huge rival of Bahraini Al-Khalifa) also surprisingly finished third in Group D!

4. Almost everyone got fined for various criticisim apart from the host nation Australia! In many matches referees favoured Australia as well. Despite all this Korea managed to defeat Australia and perhaps ruined their pre-planned route to Final. As a result of that Australia has to play matches in Newcastle instead of Sydney and also now face UAE(a team perhaps pre-planned as winners of this year's event). I guess now, the battle is between Australia and UAE who will pay referees more in order to reach the Final. Apparantly with regards to hosting the 2022 World Cup Qatar paid inspectors/voters more than Australia, that is why Aussies were so cheesed off with Qatar.

5. Now will Arabs unite to have Iraq win over Korea and have their all-Arab final UAE vs Iraq and have UAE win the tournament? Then let Aussies to earn 3rd place to keep them happy?

[Persian Panther]

Come on mate, this is insane.

The Aussies will beat UAE and meet Korea in the final.

The Ref made few mistakes and couple of them hurt us badly. The played well but conceded couple of silly goals.
We came back like champions but we lost in penalties and there is no shame in that.
What's done is done , let's make sure IFF sort them selves out first.

Can someone explain please? How is it possible to leave AFC? How can we win Asian Cup or get to WC if we are not in AFC? It is not up to us when Iran is in Asia. Is it?

Mistakes.. Are you kidding me?? Everything he did to us was intentional and because of a grudge. Remember even Mark Bosnic and the other Australian commentators admitted that Williams holds a grudge when criticized.

[Doctor DOOM]

Oh they will get it, hard. Wait till June and WCQ, I simply can't wait for it to begin to watch their sufferment.

.... by grinding out defensive 1-0's against low quality teams?
Or by trouncing and thrashing those teams, that leave no loophole for the corrupt AFC to cheat us out of a goal or an offside or a point?

Which approach is needed?

[Martin-Reza]

^ we'll barely ever thrash them again. It's solely about winning.

im 99% sure this is not possible. confederations are set up based on continents. if a few countries gather together their own confederation, tommorow Arabs want their own confederation, United Kingdom will want its own and so will everyone else

I prefer the last one (like 6-0 against Bahrain).

which ironically also benjamin williams was the referee for and gave a red card to the bahraini player in minute 1 of the game when he tackled ando

EDIT: sorry, it was another aussie referee - Peter Green

[Martin-Reza]

^ that was Williams?

That was not Ben Williams, it was another Australian ref.
