Japan and Iran the two teams we feared the most are out.

Surely having the tournament at home, we are the favourites to win this? Yes we lost to Korea but if we were to make the final we will be the favourite against Korea / Iraq.

Imagine if we were to win the tournament and Iraq made the final :lol:

Wins against Kuwait, Oman, China, UAE, Iraq to win it :o :lol:

No need to be confident, however you must admit we are the favourites going into that game, and would be going into a final at home.

You obviously didn't watch the game. If Honda, Kagawa and Muto didn't go full retard in front of goal they would have put 6 passed them at least.

We will absolutely wallop the UAE if we find our groove in Newcastle.

Based on what? Japan's rubbishy under-performance back in June? Iran's... Iran's... theft of stealth drone technology?

:?

Korea was the poorest side at the World Cup along with us from Asia. Korea really should have finished on 0 points if it was not for the russian keeper gifting them a point.

Iran looked rock solid at this tournament, didn't think anyone would put a goal past them, in fact if it were not for the red they would have got through, i felt they were the better team playing around 80 minutes with 10 men and scoring 2 goals. At the World Cup Iran looked decent to me, at least in the first 2 games the defence was rock solid, they tried to come out and play against Bosnia who were clearly on another level to them.

Japan is the known powerhouse, i always knew we would have a 50/50 chance against them as they can't finish and can't deal with our physicality but still Japan is the team with the most well known players, defending champions and the bookies favourite.

It's all relative.. Would've Iran performed that well in our group? Australia as bad in theirs? We'll never know so I don't why anyone is taking anything from the WC.

Not sure that we'll pump them but their difficulties with defending crosses was noticeable tonight. Japan missed some dead set sitters.

Not sure if you're trolling or just stupid.

Cahill had an off night against Oman and we scored 4.

We've had 8 different scorers in 4 games.

Favourites? I think so yes.
We should be better prepared, better conditioned, better rested, our research of the opposition should be better than theirs, our best players are better than their best and if we go up before they do, we will certainly be in the 'drivers seat'.

I don't think we're in the driving seat, Sth Korea have shown defensively they are hard to break down (only team without conceding left if I recall). I think fans confidence though with Japan and Iran out has lifted.

Everyone just needs to calm the F down. All remaining teams have capable scorers, and we still have a defense capable of incredible brain farts of mind smashing proportions. That isn't to say that we can't win it, just that we are still in the same situation as before, beat down the team in front of us one fame at a time

None of this means shit. Maybe the most recent match but the rest, no means fuck all. Pointless to use, even going back 4 years ago when we drew against Korea in the Asian Cup only 2 players that started for us will start against Korea on Tuesday (Cahill, Jedinak)

Only 7/31 players selected for the last Asian Cup are in this years squad. Let alone going back 14 years ago..

In the group game against SK we had PLENTY of chances to equalise, this without our strongest lineup on the park. I'm more worried about UAE at the minute. They are looking very organised defensively and going foward, Abdulrahman and Mabkhout are very dangerous.

If UAE had wont in normal time I'd be very very concerned.

but I feel we will be fresher and fitter. play our passing game, and if we havent conceded by 60 mins I think we will overrun them.

I don't see UAE being much of a threat, some of the chances japan missed were just horrific, it was essentially a match played in one side of the field. We should win this tournament now, I'd still be nervous if we weren't playing on home soil but the way yesterday's events unfolded we are in the box seat, japan gone and our other biggest rival Iran who also have the physical aspect that matches us gone as well.
