dont get ahead of yourself. it's certainly not ours to lose.

we have to beat south korea. they are the form team for the tournament and are the favourites.


Who only beat us one nil with our best players sitting on the bench.

I believe we have more than enough to beat them.

And we would be at home, inalabrah is just downplaying it not to cause a jinx, it is ours to win. Whether we do it or not we will see, many things can happen but it is silly to believe we would not be favourites at the moment, even with the loss to South Korea.


im not downplaying it. they beat us. they shut us out. they can do it again. dont get cocky.

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.
