Round of 16 bracket

[beri486]

If we win our group and JPN can't beat UZB
and KSA can't beat QAT then we most likely
end up with this bracket:

And if KSA beats QAT then you can exchange their places.

So if you want a relatively easy path to final root for UZB to not to lose to JAP.

O man i dont want to play oman

O man i dont want to play oman

Then root for TKM to beat OMN.

That is the best case scenario we can dream of. Easy route to the final. Let's hope Korea beats China and Uzbeks don't lose to Japan.

Japan, South Korea’s, Australia and Saudi Arabia are all sitting at 2nd position after 2 rounds. With exception of Australia other three teams only by goal difference.

You could have got 100-1 odds for that
This really shows that you have to take every game seriously or it can come back a haunt you later.
More credit to CQ

Anyways you have 4 teams that have to win their final game to top their group
Australia can not get first place since head to head is the first determining factor

There is a chance one of the remaining three to fail and tie the game.

More fun on last day
So glad games are played at the same time

Guys, our focus should not be on the bracket now. Forget the bracket and focus only on the next game. Our focus should always be the next game.

Oman actually is good. Japan won because of the dumb referee.
The Japan team is not good. It had a hard time in both games it has played. I think Uzbekistan will defeat Japan. Korea and China both are weak and will not make it to semi or final.The saudi sons of guns with the help of a referee want to move to semifinal to make the world forget about Master Bone saw by creating a sports image.

Oh contraire my friend! Our focus can be anything as long as TM is focusing on the next game. Our attention has no bearing on what will actually happen.

^^ Agree. brackets are good for gamblers. Maybe another general discussion can be used for that. Japan Korea Australia all have brought shitty teams so we should have no worries.
with performance of Iraq against Vietnam 3-2 and against Yemen 2-0 and the fact that Iraq was almost losing to Vietnam, we should expect a victory and not even a tie against Iraqis. Yes they are good but we are better, tactically and technically. The number of good players we have = twice the number of good players they have and their two matches already proved that. One game could have been just accident but two games say something. by the way Mongholians Japanese and Korean call a savage yamani. I think when Holakoo khan captured Baghdad and ended motasamobella khalifeh abbasi ended. At that time saudi did not exist and anyone helping motasam was from the south or arabian peninsula. When the monholians realized how bad the Abbasi/ now ISIS were they referred to them as Yamani.

^ You are also right. But don't forget a young player may take his phone under lahaf and read the football forums posting unless CQ has collected all their phones

Uzbekistan

Korea Rep.
India

Australia
Japan

Borat
Kyrgyzstan

Without Ref's help for the arabs, Iran will beat Saudi Soosmars 3-0
With Ref's help we will loose to them in penalty shootout yet again

Agree with this fully if we were part of TM. Since we are fans though....... Don't worry lack of our (the fans) focus won't hurt anyone at all.
