Asian Cup 2023 Prediction and Discussion

[$anounimus$]

Even though Indonesia lost badly to Australia, I saw that the performance of the Indonesian national team in that match showed the development of the game. I appreciate the performance of the Indonesian National Team. In terms of ball control, it is better than the three matches in the group stage.

In this match, the players were braver in playing and holding the ball. Indonesian players also put pressure on Australia, who did not play like Iraq and Japan. However, the improvement in the game was not accompanied by a good strategy carried out by Shin Tae-yong. However, it must be acknowledged that Australia is superior in all aspects to Indonesia. In terms of quality, Australia is ranked much better in FIFA than Indonesia. Apart from that, the Australian players also have superior experience to the Indonesian players.

However, regardless of the results, as an Indonesian I should give appreciation to the players who have performed optimally on the field and have given their best for Indonesia even though they failed to advance to the quarter-finals.

You have the same observations as me regarding the Indonesian national team's performance against Australia. Because even in that match, Indonesia actually put pressure on the Australian defence. Unfortunately, the Indonesian players wasted a lot of opportunities that they got. Even though the attacks built by the Indonesian national team were also very good. It's just that the accuracy of the passes from Indonesian players has indeed improved a lot. But unfortunately their shooting accuracy is really bad. And the kicking power of the Indonesian players is also not as hard as the kicks of the Australian players. But I am also still proud of Indonesia in the match. Because they have indeed played better than before. It's just the accuracy of their attacks that might need to be improved. But 4 years from now when the AFC Asian cup is held again and if Indonesia qualifies then I think by then Indonesia can be better. Especially if the current players are still retained until then.

I appreciate the struggle of the Indonesian players in their participation in the Asian Cup. I think Indonesia, which is the team with the lowest ranking, is already great enough to be able to appear until the 16th round. Shin Tae Yong has really been able to change the playing style of the Indonesian National Team as a whole, yes, maybe it's just a matter of time before Indonesia's current generation will be able to talk a lot about it. regional competitions they will participate in.

Of course, it is not easy for anyone to handle a team with all its shortcomings, meaning that the average Indonesian player is not yet fully able to understand football professionally, there are quite a lot of basic mistakes that the coach from South Korea continues to correct and it is proven that currently their game is very developed.

Iraq vs Jordan, in less than 1 hour this match will be played and Iraq is still the favorite in this match but I noticed weaknesses in Iraq's defense in the last 3 matches especially when Vietnam can score 2 goals so in my opinion the 1x2 bet for Iraq is really unsafe, I would avoid it. What do you think about both teams to score? Sportsbooks offer tempting odds @2.16 but I understand when this offer is better then the risk will be higher. Based on head to head, Iraq dominates with 2 wins and 3 draws but in the last 2 matches all ended in a draw.




In another match Qatar vs Palestine well, here I agree that Qatar has a bigger chance of winning apart from playing at home, Qatar also has a better record Qatar recorded a perfect wins in the group stage so I'm sure Qatar will win easily and is even one of the teams that has the potential to go to the final. My prediction is that Qatar will win with a difference of 2 goals.

The match have already finished with Jordan as the winner and this is hard match for Jordan because Iraq playing with full of determination and since the beginning of match both teams were attacking each other but the goalkeeper from them can performing well but everything was change after Iraq player Hussein got a red card and it makes Jordan starting to dominate the game and pushing Iraq to focus to their defense and Jordan has successfully to make epic comeback and they dramatically can fliped the situation and eliminate Iraq and at the quarterfinal Jordan will fight against dark horses Tajikistan

For upcoming match Qatar vs Palestine i haven't checked the odds yet but i will assuming Qatar is the favourite but i didn't surprised if maybe the bookmakers will provide low odds for Qatar because as a host Qatar was starting this season with fantastic performance because at the group stages Qatar can collect 9 points which mean they can able to won all of the matches and Qatar even still cleansheet which mean still not conceded and for Palestine they qualified to the round of 16 after became an one of the best ranked 3 teams in the tournament and their performance is not too impressive because Palestine have already lost once from Iran and for today match i agree with you that Qatar will easy to gets the winning result from Palestine and advances to quarterfinal

Iraq 2 - 3 Jordan

It's a result that left me very surprised, I expected Iraq to win this game mainly because they were a team with a good performance in this competition, but in this game Jordan did much better on the field, at the beginning of the game they had a serious foul In my opinion, the referee should have given the Jordanian player a red card, but the referee chose to give a yellow card. after that there was an excellent moment in which the Jordanian player could have scored a goal, to be honest I was even scared by that movement from the Iraqi goalkeeper, he was very brave when he jumped to save the goal, it didn't take many minutes for the Jordan caused danger again and once again the Iraqi goalkeeper saved the team

then Iraq made an attack but without much danger to Jordan's defense. but Jordan again caused another great danger and once again the Iraqi goalkeeper saved the team. Iraq reacted and came very close to scoring a goal, but Jordan's goalkeeper saved it, it was a spectacular save. But after that, Jordan had a good opportunity that they didn't waste and scored a goal, giving Jordan an advantage in the game and the 1 half ended with Jordan's victory. In my opinion, Iraq in the 1 half made a lot of mistakes in defense and in attack they preferred to shoot from distance and this was something that did not cause much danger for Jordan's defense

the 2 half started with Iraq causing more danger, it seemed that Iraq had changed the way they saw the game and went completely attacking, Iraq put a lot of pressure on Jordan's defense until they managed to score the equalizer and then Iraq scored a goal again and with that they took an advantage, it seemed that Iraq would come out of that game with victory but 1 minute after scoring the second goal the Iraqi player received a red card, so Iraq was weakened and lost the game. I think Iraq was very unlucky in that game. Anyway, congratulations to Jordan for winning

Unexpected results for the Iraq vs Jordan match. We know that Jordan qualified for the round of 16 because they were third best from group E who met Iraq. We know that Iraq is the team that qualified as group D champion with the status of a team that has never lost.
I was surprised to find out that Jordan qualified for the round because they managed to beat Iraq in normal time without having to go into extra time.

The team that qualified for the round of 16 because it was ranked third best, like Indonesia, lost against Australia.
Now Palestine is the one who has qualified because that route is also leading 0-1 against Qatar and the match is already at half time.
Palestine scored a goal in the 36th minute. This means that before 45 minutes of the first half they were ahead against Qatar.
If Jordan has made a surprise, maybe Palestine will also follow Jordan's steps?

edit: Qatar 1 - 1 Palestine (45+6)

edit: Qatar 1 - 1 Palestine (45+6)

Now it is Qatar 2-1 Palestine. Qatar scored their second goal on a penalty kick. Even if this goal is a penalty, but the extra pressure on Qatar will be lifted. Because Palestine team is much weaker than Qatar team, Qatar team is ranked 58th and on the other hand, Palestine team is ranked 99th. If Qatar lost today, it would be a shame for Qatar.
However, the Qatari team came back in a very short period of time. (45'+6') Akram Afif assisted Hassan Al-Haydos first goal and 49 minutes Akram Afif's penalty shoot out the second goal. Anyway I think Palestine team will lose this match as they have not won even one of the last five matches against Qatar team. Moreover, Qatar team is the topper of the group.

Right, the red card really brought a disaster Iraq should be comfortable with a 2-1 lead and the match leaves 20 minutes in normal time but this is what is called luck, Jordan can take advantage of the remaining matches to score 2 more goals to turn the situation into 2-3. By the way, I don't understand what happened so the referee gave a red card, is it due to excessive celebrations? as far as I know the celebration that is not permitted is to take off the jersey.

Qatar vs Palestine match has begun and will end in 10 minutes, exactly as I said Qatar will win but it's not as easy as I think because Palestine scored first, fortunately Qatar scored 2 other goals and still lead this far. The match in round 16 looks more aggressive most of the matches ended with 2-5 goals this is beyond my expectations because I think the match is a little more defensive. By the way, I chose Qatar as one of the candidates who will go to the semi-finals or final they have the ability and advantage as the host.

Honestly, Palestine played way better than Qatar in the first half but unfortunately they managed to score only one goal. If they were able to score more goals they wouldn't lose. The Qatari team and especially the defence line committed a lot of mistakes and I wonder if they could advance further unless the coach fix these big errors.

In the other two matches, Tajikistan made a shocking victory after eliminating Emirates by penalties and Jordan made a good victory too against Iraq!

[AakZaki]

Indonesia had to accept 4 - 0 defeat to Australia and they had to be able to accept the fact that they were returning home early from the AFC competition, this was the umpteenth failure and Indonesia had to be able to learn from failures like this.
Now Australia can easily qualify to enter the quarter-finals and only need to wait for the completion of all the top 16 matches to be able to see the next schedule for the quarter-finals.

~snip~

We can see Indonesia dare to play short ball and hold the ball a lot. This is a good development, the ball movement is flowing well. But in some decisions there are still some players who are often late to pass. Indonesia's attacking line also struggled. Australia didn't play like Japan, in fact I think Japan were much faster with the tempo. So the tempo of the match was slower.
Australia managed to take advantage of the physical advantage and some basic mistakes of Indonesian defenders. The 2nd and 4th goals are one example. Other than that Australia was also more effective. Congratulations to Australia you deserved to win. Next up is the Asia U23 cup and World cup qualifiers, I hope some of the Indonesian blooded players who are in the process of transferring are finished.

Indonesia's development has improved quite a lot at this time, even though the score is losing, the game is starting to look more well organized. This is just a matter of flying hours because the majority of Indonesian players are U-23. Australia was able to take advantage of Indonesia's weakness in the second half, which was starting to run out of stamina. Indonesia's weakness lies in their less clinical finishing, even though many opportunities were created, but none of them could be converted into goals.

Indeed, Australia's game is not as scary as Japan, which plays a fast tempo from foot to foot. Australia bowled more often to take advantage of their posture. But both teams should be appreciated because the FIFA rankings are very far apart too. Congratulations to Australia for qualifying for the last 8.

[Renampun]

I appreciate the struggle of the Indonesian players in their participation in the Asian Cup. I think Indonesia, which is the team with the lowest ranking, is already great enough to be able to appear until the 16th round. Shin Tae Yong has really been able to change the playing style of the Indonesian National Team as a whole, yes, maybe it's just a matter of time before Indonesia's current generation will be able to talk a lot about it. regional competitions they will participate in.

Of course, it is not easy for anyone to handle a team with all its shortcomings, meaning that the average Indonesian player is not yet fully able to understand football professionally, there are quite a lot of basic mistakes that the coach from South Korea continues to correct and it is proven that currently their game is very developed.

Indeed, from the start Australia was a strong team, they were one of the champion candidates, but I also appreciate the Indonesian national team's struggle to reach the round of 16, but the good thing I saw this time was that no one blamed Shin Tae Yong's strategy, he was great coach, but the quality of Indonesian players is still far below Australian players, once again congratulations to the Australian national team.

the match between Yordania vs Iraq really ended dramatically, who would have thought that Jordan's 2 goals came in the 95th and 97th minutes, it was really bad luck for Iraq to concede two goals at the end of the match.

[dansus021]

Yes, Indonesia failed and was sad because it was defeated by Iraq, but after winning against Vietnam, Indonesia's sadness has now been healed and healed.

The match against Japan is of course a tough match for Indonesia because Japan is a strong team, and when Japan played against Vietnam, Japan successfully won the match with a score of 4-2 and this is proof that Japan is a strong team because they managed to beat Vietnam.

and today Indonesia will compete against Japan, I think the Indonesian fans must be ready to watch the match between Indonesia and Japan, I hope the match goes smoothly. I think Shin Tae-yong now has a tough task because Japan is a strong opponent for Indonesia. I hope Shin Tae-yong can make a good formation and I think Indonesia must also be able to take advantage of opportunities when the ball is close to the Japanese goal. However, I am sure that the Indonesian national team will appear confident in the match against Japan.

The Indonesian national team will play its final match in Group D of the 2023 Asian Cup against the Japanese national team and this will be a life and death match for Indonesia. This match will be exciting because both countries need points to ensure they qualify for the round of 16, and I will not miss this match because it will definitely be exciting to watch.
And both teams are guaranteed to field their best squad, Japan seems to be the favorite because Japan is categorized as the strongest country in the 2023 Asian Cup. However, it looks like Indonesia will also try to balance the game and also strengthen its defense and make good use of counter-attack opportunities.

Ok new update guys Indonesia lose against Japan



and you all already know that Japan is tough and the result was 3 against 1.

Situation is currently very interesting even we have fair chance for the Indonesia to qualify but still this all depend on few other results as well right now three teams are in contest and Oman which is at the bottom can jump with Bahrain having tough match against Jordan and Indonesia is going to face Japan which is not predictable any team can win and go through but who is going it's not clear due to too much hype mostly feeling Indonesia will be strong, but everything is possible while Japan will also give their best and Oman will also go against Kyrgyzstan with their full force for having chance to go through.

Japan is currently not strong as we have them in past which is surely giving good advantage to Indonesia but still it's never been easy for them to win against them and go through directly into next round they perform extraordinary if they want to have chance.

We fight against the Australia but you know it will be also a tough game



and the result is out that 4 Australia and 1 Indonesia, but that is totally fine since this is a new achievement for our country so nothing to lose. Just hope we are gonna win next time.

[Luzin]

it seemed that Iraq would come out of that game with victory but 1 minute after scoring the second goal the Iraqi player received a red card, so Iraq was weakened and lost the game. I think Iraq was very unlucky in that game. Anyway, congratulations to Jordan for winning

There may be some Iraq supporters who protest why Aymen Hussein got a red card. If you look realistically at the referee's position, then the decision can be discussed with referees 1 and 2 maybe even VAR. But he was so fast, it seems that the referee thought Hussein did that as a form of profocation. In addition, the referee may consider the celebration to have been choreographed, resulting in excessive waste of time. If he hadn't celebrated, it might have been a different story. Hussein may also have forgotten he got a yellow card.

Currently the match in progress is the Uzbekistan vs Thailand match and the temporary score is 2-1 with the advantage still on Uzbekistan's side.

I might expect Thailand to win this match as the remaining representative of Asean. But it looks like Uzbekistan is very difficult to beat so it is very likely that Uzbekistan will qualify from the round of 16.

Another representative from Southeast Asia had to be eliminated in this Asian Cup competition and at least Thailand could still match the game of Uzbekistan, who was the favorite in this round of 16 match. In my opinion, a 2-1 defeat is not too bad for Thailand and they certainly learned a lot to get to this round. Uzbekistan is indeed a strong opponent for Thailand so we cannot fully expect Thailand to win.

The achievements of Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand and Indonesia in making it through to the round of 16 are indeed worthy of appreciation, but again their opponents at this level are much better so the chance of advancing to the quarterfinals is quite impossible. I think both Thailand and Indonesia have gained a lot of experience in a competition of this size and I hope they will return in the next competition year.

I might expect Thailand to win this match as the remaining representative of Asean. But it looks like Uzbekistan is very difficult to beat so it is very likely that Uzbekistan will qualify from the round of 16.

It is indeed very unfortunate that after Indonesia was eliminated, it turns out that now Thailand has also been eliminated from the round of 16. But Thailand should be appreciated because the game they displayed was good enough for the FIFA ranking, which is very different from Uzbekistan. Just being able to play in the round of 16 is already a good experience for Thailand and Indonesia. Maybe in the next Asian Cup Indonesia and Thailand can play better and advance further.

Today there is still 1 more match that will be very exciting, namely the Saudi Arabia vs South Korea match. I don't know which one to favorite because recently Saudi Arabia has also developed quite rapidly. But in terms of Fifa Ranking, South Korea is far superior. So I am sure South Korea will be the favorite and will win today's match.

[rahmad2nd]

Saudi Arabia vs South Korea.

It would be a shame if Saudi Arabia had to stop moving towards the next round of matches. even though Saudi took the lead first with a neat pass from Al Dawsari "a winger from Al Hilal", Abdulah Radit, Al Shabab's young striker, was able to put it to good use in the 46th minute. Referring to the course of the match, in the first half the match was quite balanced even though Saudi Arabia was slightly master ball possession. unfortunately, two chances hit the goal post.
entering the second half, South Korea started to play aggressively by controlling 71% of ball possession. 11 total shots, 4 on target, 2 big chances, 1 hit the goal post. It seems that after Saudi Arabia took a 1-0 lead, their focus was on maintaining their position until the end of the match. That's why South Korea dominated ball possession and the course of the match. Unfortunately, at the end of the match in the 90+9th minute, South Korea was able to equalize the score at 1-1.

In extra time, the game returned to normal as they fought each other to score goals. although in terms of opportunities, South Korea is much better. In the end, the match continued with a penalty shootout. Unfortunately, Saudi Arabia had to stop and South Korea had the right to advance to the next phase to become Australia's challenger. But at least, the Saudi Arabian national team showed that they were able to provide resistance to South Korea, which in fact is one of the strongest teams in the Asian Cup competition. The development of Saudi football has developed very well. Despite all that, of the teams competing in this competition, I still favor Qatar who will be one of the candidates to compete in the Asian Cup Final. well, there are still other matches in the round of 16, so let's just enjoy each match.

I think with the pattern of play shown at the start of the first half Indonesia will not concede much. But my guess was wrong. Indonesia played well, but they couldn't score. With this progress I'm quite happy. In addition, Indonesia also broke 3 AFC records.
1. Qualifying for the knockout phase, even though many said Indonesia was just lucky.
2. Indonesia scored a goal in every match in the Group stage.
3. Through its young player Marselino Ferdinan Indonesia set a record for the youngest goal scorer at this year's AFC.

[karabiber]

Iran vs Syria

The last quarterfinalist in the Asian Cup is being determined. Iran, one of the favorites of the tournament, continues on its way by making 3 out of 3 in the group matches. Iran is very effective in offense with Taremi-Azmoun duo and Ghayedi. Iran's experienced defender Kanaanizadegan is suspended for the Syria match. Syria, coached by Hector Cuper, has scored only one goal in the group stages, but apart from conceding a goal from Australia, they have been able to stop their opponents and play very tight defense.

Syria, despite their limited resources, are incredibly well organized and play with an aggressive defensive approach. Iran is of course the favorite in this match but I think they will have a hard time overcoming Syria's tight and aggressive defense. For the bettors, a draw in the first half and Iran to win at the end of the match is preferable.

This is still quite worthy of praise from the performance shown by Indonesia in this title because indeed they have developed enough in terms of the game carried out but indeed in the match against Australia yesterday we seemed to learn a lot that finishing is a condition that must be owned as a support to get a victory. Indonesia has a pretty good chance to develop when looking at the quality of their players especially they have a young average squad in defense and midfield is also actually quite well developed but the quality of their attacks is poor and of course this is finishing that must be improved.
Australia are not that scary in this round of 16 match but they have good finishing and that is proven when 7 shots fired by Australia 4 of them are on target and 4 on target are all turned into goals.

what an unexpected thing, cho gue sung managed to score a goal in the 99th minute and forced south korea and saudi arabia to have a penalty shootout. south korea played very carefully from the first half so it is not surprising that they succeeded in winning this match.

but initially i sided with saudi arabia in the match against south korea, they have a good track record, moreover they have already managed to beat argentina, congratulations to south korea, they are a lucky team.
