unbelievable. how the hell they missed that chance in 122nd minute ! :facepalm: UAE was really lucky with that controversial penalty. Kyrgyz players ran out of gas in extra time but they had one 100% chance at the end.

 

UAE was terrible so far. not just this. but the whole tournament. I don't think they stand a chance against Australia but then Australia was far from convincing.

Qatar and Korea completed the quarterfinal teams. so Vietnam is the only surprise of Round of 16. even though Qatar-Iraq match was very close but I assume Qatar was slightly favorite before the match. Iraq had some chances and few minutes before Qatar's goal there should be a penalty (on Mohannad Ali) for Iraq. Iraq was unlucky today they had 3 injuries today specially Humam Tariq's injury was crucial. looks like they wasted too much energy trying to beat Iran and win the group.

 

ironically the guy who scored that nice free kick for Qatar, Bassam Hisham is in fact from Iraq ! :facepalm:

 

South Korea also just survived in extra time against Bahrain. the outcome could be different if it wasn't for Bahrain GK's injury. from what I see Qatar is even a better team than Korea but still Korea is the favorite.

 

Quarterfinals:

 

:CHN vs :IRI

:VIE vs :JPN

:KOR vs :QAT

:UAE vs :AUS

I heard that from the Iranian commentator during the match, but I just never trust them :d they talk lots of nonsense

and the first VAR decision in history of Asian Cup is something controversial. I think that was no handball on Japan's goal. but they annulled the goal with VAR. :mumble:

I think VAR ruined the match :wacko: first disallowing Japan's goal and later in second half awarding a soft penalty to Japan probably make up for that one in first half ! :thumbdown:

 

to me they should only use VAR for obvious mistakes. not for 50-50 calls. I really think in both actions refs had the correct call at first but then changed it to "mistake" after the VAR.

 

btw another narrow win for Japan. actually that's scary. because they can win even when they play terrible !

 

now can't wait for IRN-CHN match :bounce::bounce:, first let's hope for no VAR decision :pope:.  and second I hope we win this and finally break the QF curse. we got eliminated 3 times in a row in this round.

:cheer: That was easier than my expectation. 3-0 and missing so many chances.

 

but Taremi's 2nd yellow card was a big blow. that was a stupid yellow card :facepalm: yeah he sometimes misses chances 1 meter away from empty goal (as he did again today) but he hustles and creates chances for others as well. we will miss him against Japan.

 

and Japan in semifinal. we were waiting for this for a long time. that's probably our real final. :bounce:

Qatar in semifinal :yikes:  winning 5 matches, beating KSA, Iraq and Korea. not conceding a single goal ! wow what a tournament for them. specially under hostile situation and not a single Qatari fan in the stadium because of the ban !

 

I think it's fair to say Qatar will be favorite against either Australia or UAE.

 

Tottenham fans will be happy. they can have Son HM few days earlier  :d

    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.    
    • Philip Rivers' possible return to NFL while being a semifinalist for the Hall of Fame certainly wasn't on my bingo card. But well. So far he's only on the practice squad
