2022 Qualifiers - Other Games Thread (AFC & beyond)

a shit game, korea reminded me about same old korea lot of possession and quick passing, no goalscoring abilities or shot on goals.
iraq looked ok in defence, timewasted alot (offcource) and attack was crappy.

Reg. Korea: they had 3 attempts on target, one of which (a header) could have been a goal if it had been slightly better placed.

0-0 in the Iraq vs SK game was the PERFECT result for TM….that’s an awesome way for the WCQs to start

It was a strange lineup by advocaat though…..mohanad ali and justin meram are clearly their beat forwards and he didn’t bring them in until like the 83rd minute. Makes me think he was saving them for Iran but that was a silly risk to take in starting the WCQ campaign but hey he got a great result for Iraq today so can’t knock him too much but at the same time if either one of those guys had the chances the guy with the pony tail had, I think Iraq would have scored one and won the game today.

No they didn’t lol. 65-35 Japan according to livescore.

Livescore says Oman 52% Japan 48% .

Anyway congrats to them, big victory.

I was not that impressed with any of the two teams to be honest. SK didn't come further than the 16 meter outer line and this is was not only because the Arabs where so good in defensing , but also because of lack of sharpness & hustle from the Koreans.

What we can say about the Arabs is that Advocaat has brought more disciplined team and less khar to khari play. They are disciplined & aggressive and against us offcourse SUPER SEYED 2. ; - )

But both teams are more than beatable for our star studded TM, the question is if our team is as organised and dsicpilined as they were with King Q.

i only watched the opening 15-20 minutes and fell asleep and those were pretty much the vibes i got from this game..!!
if Eskoocher could have us play as confidently as a team as last round and semi-organized .... i dont see how we couldnt top this table too..??

The two results so far should be a warning. It shows the short break between European league games and the WCQ games isn't beneficial to the teams with many legionnaires. It will be a bumpy ride today for sure...

If we win Iraq its great result today, if we dont win its not so great. But we will win vs iraq and the Dick (advocaat) so its ok

Absolutely. Well said...

I don't want to sound pessimistic, but anything can happen against Syria today. Really hoping our players pull off a good game because not having our three most important managers (Skocic, Hashemian, and the GK coach) is very worrying...

It would be awesome if the game between UAE and Lebanon also ends in a tie.

[Ostad_Goosfand]

Going to go against the grain and disagree with everyone here. Iraq and Korea draw is not a good result for us at all. The more points UAE/Iraq drop the easier it becomes for us, since Lebanon and Syria are nowhere near good enough to finish top 2. This is a huge result for Iraq and keeps them very much in contention for a top two finish.

Meant FlashScore. Hmm weird... Saw the game and Japan were dominating possesion. Anyways Oman did great and deserved the victory.

[Ostad_Goosfand]

Am I the only one who wanted Korea to win? Since two teams qualify it Would be Nice if Korea just won against all the other teams. That Would make it better for us

Mr Kian here understands this is not a good result for us, thank you. Korea beating up on UAE and Iraq would have made it so much easier for us to qualify

Lebanon is a punching bag. They are really lucky to be here.

I know, but to stay ahead of all your opponents point wise, you always want all of them to drop points.

[Keshwardoost]
