Day 6 [AFC Asian Cup 2019] - Date, Time, & Live Updates

Assuming this holds and we won't have any more surprise results in this group, fair to say the 3rd team in group B won't be one of the ones progressing to the next round.

Palestine beating a not-motivated Jordan won't be a surprise. Jordan will even secure the 1st place in the group and I think they will rest their main players for Palestine match.

with this win
Jordan secures first place, as best Australia can do is 6 points and head to head is the first tie breaker.

Yup, if Australia win tomorrow vs. Palestine, they need just a tie vs. Syria to go ahead as second placed team. They will end up on the other side of the bracket (meaning, we can only meet them in the Final), if Iran tops their group.

Saeed Murjan almost makes it 3-0.

[KC McElroy]

It's a shame they have advanced.

[Kavian]

Am I the only one who thinks Australia beating Palestine tomorrow isn't a given ?!

I mean, if you look at their results in Middle East since joining AFC, Australia has really struggled with all sort of Arab teams when playing in MENA.

Nothing in life is given never mind a football game result.

Why? they beat Australia!

Also I take teams like Jordan, Syria and Iraq anytime over southern Persian Gulf countries!


And don't forget as former colonies of the Iranian empires they got the genes (look at it that way )

[Kavian]

With Syria losing to Jordan, the third place team from this group may not even make to the next round if Aussies win their next two game and Jordan tie or win against palastines.

Aussies can still be first -- if they score more goals, the first tie breaker is Goal Difference.

[Nokhodi]

I wouldn't put it past Jordan to play poorly against Palestine. Jordan is half Palestinian in the first place.

Nope. head to head

[eerooni]

Watching the Jordan fans. Getting very cocky now and looking at title. I’m impressed. Imagine TM Jordan in final ! ....

I know we are all cheering for India, rightfully so, but I want UAE to win. Don't want them on our side of the bracket - so they need to finish first. They suck, but they have refs on their side.
