AFC Women's Asian Cup

If they give it to CT as 3-0, they should also give it to Iran as 3-0 too. Also given it will take at least a week to recover (self-isolate) they should also give it to China as 3-0. FairPlay and all that…

This makes Iran job lot more difficult as they would need to beat CT by more than 3 goals to advance.

Iran will advance if they beat CT

India Womens national team is disqualified, Iran point is erased.

I don’t think this changes much for TM. Assuming India would have beat CT and China would have beat India, then it was a do or die for Iran v CT. It’s still the same now for Iran v CT

The Chinese passing, crosses, dribbling were are superb. They can likely beat several Asian men’s NTs. Great experience and warm up before the CT match for TM

In light of India's disqualification, a less than 4-0 scoreline would have been better. In that case, a tie vs Taipei would have meant TM would finish second.

In any case, we should all be very proud of TM's accomplishments. No support, no friendlies, nothing. And yet they dispatch Jordan (a fairly good team) and make it to the finals for the first time. With proper support, It won't be long before they challenge Asia's best.

p.s. The second goal of China seems to have been the direct influence of one of the Iranian players trying to fix her hejab. Shameful that they have to wear this 7th century Arabian head dress to Play football. Just shameful.

I saw that, I felt so bad for her. She was trying to get back to help the team, but had to stop and fix her scarf (in the f**king heat/humidity of INDIA). And who give a sh*t? it's not like IRIB is broadcasting these matches to the people of Iran anyway.

I am quite proud of these girls. They will only encourage future Iranian girls of joining football, young girls knowing that they too can reach for their dreams. Only if the IR doesn't ruin their dreams of course.
TM Women can only get better, they have stepped up and are grabbing the necessary headlines. Fingers crossed that no more games are canceled

Even the Iran-china commentator said Iran vs CT is more of a balanced game and Iran can play them better as China is way too strong for both teams. Let's hope for the girls to be focused against CT as one small margin win will take them into the 2nd round.

It could!!
It depends on the rules. If they follow by books:
India out means two group of 4 teams and one group of 3. Then to determine 2 best of third place they have to ignore results of other group against 4th place teams.
If Iran get one point from CT game (regardless of GD) and in group C Japan and Korea win their games (they will) then Iran advance.!

They might not follow the rules and just decide 2 teams advance from group A.
