If Jordan sneaks a 1-0 win, this will go to penalties, assuming Iraq beats Palestine to put them all on 6 points. (I think)

Actually no, that would make 6 total goals scored to Japan's 5 in the whole group. Bugger, one condition left before going to penalties.

How many tickets have sold so far for this? 20k?

If Iran finish second in group C what's the chance of Japan throwing away this game to avoid Iran and Australia?

They obviously won't say it even if they intend it, but we might see a really weak lineup.

Hoping for a Jordan win. That would completely open up our side of the draw with Sth Korea, Japan and Iran all on the same side of the draw.

They couldn't afford to, far too much risk of not qualifying at all.

Just printed out my tickets it's so close !

Yep a 1-0 Win for Jordan coupled with Iraq dicking Palestine by 4 or 5 puts Japan out.

Table of outcomes for the match. The background of the cells is the group winner, the x is the runner up, colours as they are in the titles.

Outcomes for that special case of Jordan winning by 1 and Iraq winning by 4 in terms of goals scored by Japan and Iraq:



Grey are apparently when it starts getting to things like discipline (Japan having 2 points and Iraq 5 at this point). In all cases of Jordan winning though, it seems they go through top.

keeeeeeeen, should be a big crowd and good game, there'll be a great feel around Melbourne park with this and the tennis on

Sold out, Jordan for the upset.

Bought a jersey idgaf bandwagon ALE !

Would like a crazy outcome for this group like discipline etc having an effect :)

Crowd sounds fuckin fantastic

the dream is dead. congrats japan

JFA battle.

If some multi millionaire interested in the A-League could bring Endo here I'd be grateful forever <3

if that happens ill be on the floor delirious with joy

does jordan have any game plan? this is about the worst attacking performance i have seen in the whole cup.


defend, defend, defend - launch the ball directly to the japanese centrebacks - and repeat.

Ray Wilkins in charge of Jordan, don't forget... England 1980's style.

Japan supporters are not up to standard.

Don't know what simon and harper are on about. That was reckless by the Japanese player it a yellow.
