Asian Cup - thread

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Into the Quarter-finals. It's been a good tournament. Not as many upsets as AFCON (thus far).

Most of the big names (except Iraq) still in play. Giving a shout-out to Opti's team today:

*Australia vs So Korea
...So Korea a slight favorite.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Jordan wins the early match. First team into the Semi-finals.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Australia is normally a team that represents their country well. However, they're playing a similar opponent today in South Korea.

Do the Aussies have a goal in them? Duke has 12 goals in 38 National appearances.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Korea scores, but it's scrubbed out. Still 0-0.

This GK Ryan is pretty good. Defense looks to have good shape. But they will face pressure in the 2h.

Almost there. 1-0, into stoppage time.

[Optional]

90+6 PK goal for 1-1 of course.

here comes extra time

If I didn't know better, I'd say this stuff is scripted.

So Korea almost a mirror match of their last game vs Saudi Arab. Equalizing goal in the dying moments.

[Optional]

the Aussie who gave away the PK was a late sub and looked lost from the moment he entered the game :\

Nice. Iran into the semi-finals.

South Korea is gonna win this.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

South Korea is gonna win this.

Sizable fav today. 1.50 on the -0.5 line today.

So Korea got out of dodge in each of L2 games. Very late equalizing goals in final minute of stoppage time.

[Optional]

Agree they are too shaky last two games for that much chalk.

But those games still suggest they fight to the end, never give up, and know how to win.

This a very important match for Jordon football i think

Damn! Korea missed a beautiful bicycle kick that hit the post.

Not very good on corners but haven’t much pressure nor shots so under.
