You should always talk respectfully about your opponent no matter who the opponent is. Always respect to your opponent but never underestimate your team. It is insult to us when CQ before start of Asian Cup says not only we are not a candidate to win the cup we are not even favorite to pass the group stage! It is insult when he says UAE and Qatar are favorite to pass the group stage of the AC. It is insult when he says Australia, Japan, Korea, and other countries are the candidate to win the cup not us!! It is insult when he says Qatar is more favorite than us and even Uzbekistan to qualify to the WC. Never belittle any team. Respect all of your opponents but never underestimate your team.

That is simply CQ mind games which works wonders! He gets the Arabs hyped up and motivates his own players with these remarks... CQ know what he is doing

Uzbek defense on LB and RB are slow. Speed up the winger act and we have them good.

Just to remind you all that we are the highest ranked Asian team in the FIFA standings. That's not by coincidence or luck. We are the favorites and the ONLY way we'all lose if we don't stick to our game plan and beat outselves. Period.

The only way I imagine Iran loses this game is if B.W. mess it up gain. Player by Player we are superior.

We are expected to make WC but no way the 2nd round of WC

Doha: Egor Kremits’ 86th minute header maintained Uzbekistan’s perfect start to their campaign to qualify for Russia 2018 on Tuesday evening as the defender scored the only goal of the game and condemned Qatar to their second agonising defeat in five days.
Kremits, who missed the 1-0 win over Syria on Thursday due to suspension, made an impressive return to the starting line-up as he headed Alexander Geynrikh’s free kick from the right past Oumar Barry to move Samvel Babayan’s side on to six points from their opening two games.

The result leaves the Uzbeks on top of Group A, two points clear of Korea Republic and Iran, while Qatar have yet to pick up a point having lost to the Iranians thanks to two injury time goals on Matchday 1.

“It was a good night for us as we managed to get the most important thing from the match which is the three points,” said Babayan. “We played with a lot of fighting spirit and we showed that we are capable of a good performance.

“We studied our opponents well and we knew their strengths and weaknesses although we knew that it will be very difficult. We were prepared for everything including the weather conditions and at the end of the day we got a good result.”

The Qataris made four changes from the side that was defeated in Tehran on Thursday, with goalkeeper Amine Lacomte replaced by Oumar Barry while Mohamed Musa, Ahmed Mohamed El Sayed and Akram Afif also started in place of Luiz Junior, Ali Thaimin and Pedro Correia.

Uzbekistan, wearing black armbands in memory of the country’s late president Islam Karimov, made just one change, with Azizbek Khaydarov making way for the returning Kremits.



It was the home side that made the more lively start, with Sebastian Soria almost opening the scoring in the fifth minute, only to find the side netting after Afif’s low cross from the left.

Uzbekistan’s Odil Akhmedov let fly from long range 13 minutes into the game, but his shot sailed well over the bar while at the other end the Qataris threatened, at first when Rodrigo Tabata’s shot was easily gathered by goalkeeper Barry in the 20th minute and, a minute later, when Musa headed over the bar following Soria’s cross from the left.

Geynrikh’s introduction for the disappointing Sardor Rashidov in the 59th minute swung the game in Uzbekistan’s favour, but not before Qatar fashioned out their best chance of the game.

A well flighted ball into the area found Boualem Khoukhi with time and space and he fired off an acrobatic effort that he was unfortunate to see come back off the woodwork.

With time running out it looked likely the points would be shared, but Geynrikh’s free kick from the right swung towards the far corner of the six yard box and Kremits rose highest before heading the ball into the opposite corner of the goal, giving Barry little chance.

“It is a disappointing defeat as we lost in the last minutes of the match, as was the case in the first match,” said Qatar coach Jose Daniel Carreno. “We tried our best to have a good performance but we were not lucky and we couldn't score from the chances that we created.

“We tried our best to prepare the players mentally and physically before the match but we didn’t have as a good a performance as we expected. I hope that we can make a good comeback in the next matches in the qualifiers.”

Sardar vs Sardor lol

[eerooni]

The real reason that TM will win is that the UZBEKS play a normal open civilized game that gives us a lot of room and chances to score. Not the dirty closed time wasting destructive game that Qatar plays. Remember the moment right after we scored our first goal The Qataris opened up and came out of their shell to equalize but then our boy JB within 2 min ripped them apart!! This is why we are Asias highest ranked team! This why we will win and qualify. !!

China played a fair open game , we could not beat them where we should have bcoz they are much weaker than Uzbekistan

I would love nothing more than a TM win , I just don't see it specially with that fukface Williams being the Ref for that game

the weather conditions in china are something every opponent will have to face and its a tough one! we had opportunities to score but didnt capitalize on them and thats why. 2nd half was obvious that the weather had affectd our boys immensly. i am not worried about any team. our team melli is one of a kind and will fight until the end to win and make us happy. lets support them!

Exactly, I watched the Qatar - Uzbekistan match closely, Qatar was dominating them completely at some point and was even unlucky to not score a goal. Uzbekistan's winning goal came out of nowhere.

How about Uzbekistan vs. Syria match? I think at the moment, this match is more important than Qatar vs. Uzbekistan game to be watched because their strategy for this home game was probably different than their strategy for away Qatar game. Did you watch that game? If you did, what did you conclude from that game?
