Round of 16 bracket

[KasraKhan]

If Korea and Saudi win, and Iran draw or win, and Japan lose to Uzbekistan, all of the favorites will end up on the other side of the bracket. The "toughest" team we will face all the way to the final would be historically second-tier teams. Of course, this doesn't mean anything because all is possible in the knockout stages. I'm also pretty sure AFC will not let Iran win this tournament no matter how easy the path to the final is but still, something to think about:

To be honest, I don't even want this bracket for TM. It will dilute our finals appearance (e.g., "Iran had the easy side of the bracket and didn't play anybody good until the finals"), and it may cause our players to become complacent and under-estimate our opponents and look forward to the final in advance.

South Korea has better odds to beat China tomorrow than Iran has to beat Iraq. In a sense that's a good thing. I hope both Iran and Korea are winners tomorrow.

However the following day Japan is heavily favored against the Uzbeks which I don't understand that high of a difference between the two.

we will win the Asian Cup we are meany years number 1 of ASIA and TOP we must show it this time. I hope we get easy team in the next round

At the end of the day it doesn’t matter who we play after beating Iraq

We are a head and shoulder better than all of them

Jenabeh Sarbaz aziz thank you sir, exactly right.

[Club monaco]

this game is a rivalry duel, I can see a draw here or a late winner for us. We are head and shoulder better than them but they have spirit , and a lot of fire when it comes to playing mighty Iran.

[Siavash]

My perdiction is 1-0 Iran.

Exactly. We need at least one powerhouse in our bracket.

2-0 Iran 🇮🇷

[ehsan singapore]

i think 2-0 iran also

[beri486]

CHN - THA
KOR - BAH

are confirmed now.

IRI must win group to avoid KOR until the final.

[elnino99]

^ I don't think Korea vs. Bahran is yet confirmed.

for that to happen, either of the following 3 scenarios should happen in terms of which 3rd teams advances: A B C D , A C D E , A C D F (which is likely).

Right now for us, if we win our group, the options are: 14% Palestine, 57% Lebanon and 29% Oman (assuming Lebanon and Oman both finish third).

We'll have a clearer picture after the Yemen - Vietnam match as it could knock Palestine out and eliminate another possibility

[elnino99]

UAE vs. Kyrgyzstan next round is looking very likely and can be confirmed later today providing Vietnam don't beat Yemen by 3 goals or more.

So it looks like we will play either Oman/Turkmenistan or maybe Lebanon/North Korea

Let's hope North Korea make it, lol.

The easier the route, the better!
