Round of 16 - Day 2 [AFC Asian Cup 2019] - Date, Time, & Live Updates

I want to say Saudi would be easier in terms of play because Saudi has a short team based on technical skills and passing just like Vietnam.

Japan can kill a game off with possession so if they go up 1-0 against Vietnam its game over.

I disagree
I rather play korea japan Australia then saudi

You saw it vs iraq.. we cant keep ourself calm vs those animals

Damn the most exciting matchup is also at 6am. Japan has looked shaky this tournament and so have the Saudi’s so i think the result could go either way

[Irannn]

can Vietnam really beat KSA or Japan? which one would be easier for them? I rather us face Japan and then Korea/Australia

Vietnam no. but Jordan would stand a chance. that's why part of me wanted Jordan to win today. even though obviously I like Vietnam over Jordan.

between those two teams. maybe Vietnam can cause problems for KSA. but I think Japan will beat them easily. IMO just an easy matchup for Japan.

Looking ahead, i think a match up against Japan in semi's and Australia in final would be the "easiest" path to the Cup. We all know about the quicksand that the game against Saudi Arabia could be, and South Korea are doing pretty well. Having said that, I'm happy watching TM take on any team going forward, as I believe in them and know they can go all the way no matter which opponent they have.

Hopefully Japan and Kyrgyzstan will win. I'm neutral for the other match although if I had to pick I'd go with Uzbekistan.

Come on aziz.. I know you know better not to say something like that. Sorry but that wasn’t necessary.

Japan wanted to avoid Australia, now got stuck with KSA..

They should have stayed on the other side of the bracket.

[ehsan singapore]

i think japan 2-0 and aus 1-1 uzbekistan

[teammelli91]

This is a bit of a stretch but I think Saudis will take the game to penalty shootouts and beat Japan.

My prediction: Saudi Arabia will score first, 1-0 in the first half. Then Japan will answer with 1-1 and the match will go to extra time and then to penalty shootouts.

I predict Saudi 1-1 (4-3) Japan.

There two things that make me think, that Japan dont care who their opponent will be:
1) Their tremendous self-confidence,
2) They dont play full force at the AC. They see this more as a prep. for the WCQ 2022.

for one moment i thought u were talkin about WC!
japan have been in like every world cup tournament, plus winning the asian title will bring much more prestige than some wcq games
Nevertheless we're gonna win this cup
2019 afc champions --> Iran
Mvp --> jahanbakhsh

For connoisseurs of Khoresht-e Sooskmar you can't go wrong with Saudi cuisine

I don’t think that KSA can keep the sheet clean or concede only one goal over 120 minutes. Japan has a very good stamina and plays speedy offensive football. KSA lacked in creativity and technique as I saw it in the game between them and Qatar. I highly doubt that the Def. can handle it. Their offensive produces many chances but just like our forwards isn’t capable of converting that. So I think that they will at least score one goal but concede more as they produce which will end in a result which favors japan over 90 minutes.
