First of all, how does Qatar get to host this, right after hosting the
WM? If Germany for example hosted a WC and then was giv en the EURo's,
you know Europe would be up in arms! IS Qatar even a country? Seems
like some man made place in the sand, give it to a proper Footballing
country like India, they even have a SUperliga, or at least did. Do
they still have that liga? I seem to recall them signing a bunch of big
name players for what was something like an 8 game season, many years ago.
Speaking of India, they are playing Australia today in the Cricket Derby
match
0-0 at the moment in the 1st half. This is all early morning stuff for
those of us living on the Iceberg ( big snow storm today by the way
here, we have not had much snow yet this season, I think MH and the DOc,
who are also on this tiny Iceberg are getting super cold weather?)
So anyhow, back to the football. Interesting to note that they got
chick refs in ASIACON, I think women do a far better job than men in
almost anything, far more fair and conscientious beings than most men.
They also have Japanese VARobots, Japanese make the best Robots.
English make the worst Robots, they make the worst everything really.
If you watch the WWEpl, the matches are almost always about the VAR, the
matches in WWEpl are secondary, it is all about the drama of the VAR
decisions. I can just see in a few years, WWEpl matches will be a split
screen of the two managers, with a tinly little window in the corner of
the screen showing the actual football match and it iwll not go to full
screen until a VAR decision si being made and then of course the idiot
commentators will go on about the shocking decision made by VAR.
And what is with the idiot Limey commentators and "Centre Halves" do
they even know what they are talking about? Do they know why the idiots
actually called it Centre Half instead of Centre Back?? Incorrectly I
might add, unless we are living in 1920. Also why is every second
statement started with "If I am to be honest"? I was watching a lot of
FA cup and WWEpl during the holiday break and if I am to be honest,
every second statemnt was started with "If I am to be Honest" does it
mean the rest of the shit they spew is not honest? Like for example how
they call central defenders Centre halfs? Which they are not. Or how
they just want to call out every VAR call, even if they have no clue
what is a foul or not. Or even if they can not tell when a chance is a
"sitter" or a difficult chance. I can tell you the difference, if it is
a Non ENglish player missing the chance it was a Sitter, if it is an
Englishman, if I am to be honest it was a terribly difficult chance for
the Centre half.
So anyhow, ASIACON, not sure why they are bothering, Japan or S Korea
will win this, Qatar may as well disassemble the stadiums and send them
off to Ivory Coast where they could be put to good use. I mean come on,
ASIA does not know football, they are all WWEpl fans and actuall WWE
fans, that is all I see on SONY Sports.

HUh, I can see my post on GG.
0-0 at the half and if I am to be honest, India is doing quite well. Or if I was to be like a WWEpl commentator Australia is doing poorly...if I was to be honest but I chose not to.
BTW, in Kanada the matches are on for free on YOUTUBE.

Relatively easy win for the Aussies in the Cricket Derby 2-0.
Too early yet to project Australia as ASIACON champions. I know how
sophisticated our projection machine is but it needs more info than just
one game!

I'm there with you in spirit, but sadly in the UK this is being broadcast on a streaming service I'd never heard of before.
What you used to be able to watch with a subscription to Sky and BT Sports (as it was called then) you now need those two, Viaplay, Amazon Prime and about three or four other streaming services. Unfortunately the way football broadcast rights are sold creates a paradox where more providers eventually actually becomes a bad thing for the consumer.

Correct.

With Premier League TV rights the European Commission brought in
rules to "protect the consumer" and embrace "competition" which
effectively stopped Sky Sports from buying all of the available
packages. (Previously Sky had exclusive rights to live games in the
UK as no rival broadcasters could out-bid them.) The EC said
exclusive rights was anti-competitive. So in 2023/24 to watch all of
the broadcast live Premier League games in the UK you need THREE
subscriptions, Sky Sports, TNT Sports and Amazon Prime. That's really
helping the consumer isn't it?

Meanwhile in ASIACON, Palestine has a team and they actually got a point
vs UAE. It is just too bad Israel know longer plays in Asia.
WE are projecting Australia, Japan or S Korea to win. WE are not buying

Wiat, whaaat, there is a thing called K-Pop and it is really popular????
I do seem to recall that Korean guy with the horse song or whatever it
was years ago.
Anyhow, S Korea k poped in a goal and came away with a 2-2 draw, Jordan
was good value for the point and maybe more. Kilinsmann doesnt look
like he wanted to be there or that he cares that much, when Koreea tied
the match up it was kinda like he was watching a kids game the way he
celebrated, you know not like a Klopp celebration.

Korea. Poor Australia.
I am getting really suspicious about the number of games decided by
penalties awarded in time added on these days. Anyone keeping track on
how many are straightforward, and how many are controversial VAR awarded
ones?
Is it just confirmation bias, or are far more penalties awarded late in
games. Is it naive to assume their distribution is or should be fairly
random in games? I guess bad tackles would happen more frequently as
players tire, but a huge fraction of of pens seem to be for "hand-balls"
(some extremely harsh based on old definitions of handball, or even new
ones), and that would be more likely to be random.
As for predicting the outcome of the tournament, I would not discount
Iran. Sure their group was easy and they did not win convincingly in the
round of 16, but Japan has been conceding a lot of goals for one of the
stronger teams in the region.
Anyone fancy Uzbekistan?

Lewis Miller, from Hibs, then also conceded the free-kick at the edge
of the box that Son curled in for the extra time winner.

likely that the penalty won't be taken until far into stoppage time.

Iran a 2-1 win over Japan in the QF's, football world will never be the

A mere 58 ELO points exchanged.

Glancing through the recent results, South Africa beating Morocco
resulted in a 65 points exchange, and Equatorial Guinea beating the
Ivory Coast (that was able to make to the final) resulted in a 69 points
exchange.
