No, John. I wish. My picks have been bad.

But I am on Ivory Coast manana.

[hehfest]

Wow. Jordan won. I had Iraq the other day +1 against them. Thought I had it in the bag right. Jordan scored twice in 90+ within a few minutes of each other and I got a push. I couldn't believe it. I think they were playing 1 short because of the red card too. So, they pulled a SK in that game themselves scoring like crazy late. I still can't believe Iraq screwed that up so fast.

Qatar +495

I chickened out on Jordan yesterday but not missing this opportunity today. These guys have an outstanding goalie who’s red hot. They are unbeaten in 12 straight Asian Cup games. They’re the host with the most!

[Headsterx]

Iran gets a PK. That u2 was shattered.

[Headsterx]

Just in case it goes extra time. u4.5 +113

If Iran scores I’m screwed

[Headsterx]

Qatar 3-2 and 13 mins in ET????

[Headsterx]

6 mins left... DEFENSE!!!!

[Headsterx]

Oh wow! Iran had a missed chance to tied it as the kick hit the post!

[Headsterx]

End this game!!!

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Great call. Very nice hit.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

End this game!!!

What's with the never-ending stoppage time?

[Optional]

What's with the never-ending stoppage time?

Part of the push to end time wasting.

Punish them with more time than they wasted and eventually coaches will instruct players to not do it.

I applaud the move.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Good point, Opti. Two very big dogs cash on the 3-way line in each Asian semi-final.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Opti, can't beat AFCON and Asian Cup for excitement and drama.

Compare that to some of the top European leagues. Feel like those leagues are so top-heavy. Not a ton of drama when there are only a few teams capable of winning the trophy.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

AFCON final = Nigeria vs Ivory C in the finals.
...That's what I predicted going into the Quarters. That was the only logical final that didn't include another upset.

[Headsterx]

Do NOT forget tomorrow is the final! Qatar v. Jordan

Taking Qatar +120

The host with the most! These guys are strikers and will score anywhere. This will be an exciting final.

[Headsterx]

Damn! 0-0 and not much action.

Let’s go Qatar!

[Headsterx]

Oh yeah! Qdawgs get PK!

1-0 Qatar

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Oh yeah! Qdawgs get PK!

1-0 Qatar

Qatar laboring to get home.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Qatar laboring to get home.

Jordan generating all the chances now. Chance for a counter-attack?

[ChuckyTheGoat]

These games are crazy:

*Jordan ties, 1-1.
*Qatar Pen, now 2-1 for Qatar.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Jordan has dominated play in the 2h. We'll see.

Afif converts a 3rd PK! 3-1.

Not "right" to win a cup final with 3 x PKs :\

Didn't watch though, so maybe I am being unfair here.

I know the last two were awarded via VAR video. Maybe the 1st one, too.
