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.

Afif converts a 3rd PK! 3-1.

These games are crazy:

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

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Qatar laboring to get home.

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

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Oh yeah! Qdawgs get PK!

1-0 Qatar

1-0 Qatar

[Headsterx]

Damn! 0-0 and not much action.

Let’s go Qatar!

[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.

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.

[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]

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

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]

End this game!!!

What's with the never-ending stoppage time?

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Great call. Very nice hit.

[Headsterx]

End this game!!!

[Headsterx]

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

[Headsterx]

6 mins left... DEFENSE!!!!

[Headsterx]

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

[Headsterx]

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

If Iran scores I’m screwed

[Headsterx]

Iran gets a PK. That u2 was shattered.

2-2

[Optional]

Goal fest.

Set up for a good 2nd half here.

Go +495

Qatar came to play.

Hell yeah! These guys are strikers!

Afif, Afroman, does an incredible strike to take the lead!

Qatar 2-1

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Qdawgs! What a strike from outside the box for a goal!

[Headsterx]

Damn! Iran with an amazing bicycle kick for a quick early goal.

Iran 1-0

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!

Good Luck on the play.

[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.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Chuck u win any cup of noodles here ???

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

But I am on Ivory Coast manana.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Jordan salting it away. Wow:

*Jordan was 100/1 to win the Asian Cup according to these pre-tourney odds:
