Historical title for Qatar 

[MHSN 3,619]

who would expect that. Qatar winning the title. winning 7 matches. beating 4 former champions.

 

what a prediction for Xavi ! even though I'm sure he wasn't really serious .

 

all so-called experts here are praising Qatar (which they really deserve) and considering them the next big team in Asia but personally I doubt that. Iraq won the cup in 2007 and they never achieved anything after that. let's see if Qatar continues like this. people probably forgot that Lebanon got robbed a goal against Qatar in opening match. who knows losing to Lebanon could change the fate of Qatar. but they really deserved the title. and we have a history of beating the future champion in the last match before the competition

I guess Qatar can at least continue until next Asian cup in 2023 , Iraq had some good players , but they didn't have good federation or coach , they were even not playing home in WCQ due to security problems , so i guess Qatar has really different situation , they have money , coaches and an Academy like Aspire , their team is very young and can even get better in next years , i guess they're able with a good draw to repeat what Russia has done in 2018 and go to Quarter finals in WC , they have to retain their coach instead of signing a world class coach that doesn't know much about these players

The only expected thing in that was that I didn´t expected it at all

I bet what you want that Qatar paid a lot of money for this title Confederations Cup 2021 and World Cup 2022 is hosted by Qatar...so they had to achieve something till then to not be the weakest nation which hosted a World Cup. Let's be honest...if they play 100 times against Japan again I don't think they can beat Japan once again. Same with South Korea.

Qatar has hosted pretty much every single most important global championships over the last decade and counting. Of course the petrol money is flowing high & wide

well I don't think so. it wasn't like Japan and Korea dominated Qatar and Qatar just won the match by luck. they deserved the win. yeah their Korea match was pretty even and they took their chance. but Japan (if I'm not wrong) had just one shoot on goal against Qatar (which was their only goal) Qatar won 7 matches in a row ! conceding only 1 goal. they beat 4 former champions and also the host team. they really deserve more credit. yes I think still if Qatar and Japan play 10 more times Japan will win more than half of those matches but Qatar don't need 100 more matches to beat Japan once again.

 

PS: Qatar won't host the next Confederations Cup because of the weather in summer. they qualified to that by winning this title.
