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 . :d

 

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 :lol:

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

I bet what you want that Qatar paid a lot of money for this title:d 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.;)

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.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
