I will never forgive them for Ali Hamam's goal! we would have qualified
Don't think that much thought has gone into it, before making loose statements.
Indeed. Funnily it couldn’t be further from truth. In reality, Saudis are the only true 100% Arabs.
It’s just sadly the lazy phenomenon of having to have an opinion on absolutely everything ...and in lack of precise and historical knowledge, it usually goes based on stereotypes they have been told on TV/Press. Both sports, culture, politics, etc.
O Russia is doing well at the WC? They must be doping. O Qatar just won the Asian Cup? It must be rigged. And the list goes on.
That’s why I stick to Nassim Taleb’s skininthegame theory.
Good job Qatar!
Fantastic achievement for Qatar, and very well deserved too. You don't often see a team do so well right throughout a tournament. Hopefully they will get even better by the time their world cup rolls around.
Want him coaching Barca NOW!
they bring talents, like their CB Alrawi who is the son of the iraqi international CB Alrawi, and the coincidence was he scored against his original national team and kicked Iraq out of the tournament.
Looking back to when they beat us (Iraq) 1-0 in the 16 round, I feel very bad because we were the better side but were unlucky to get knocked out and we could have had the samr run as Qatar to the final, But Qatar did very very well and congrats to them for the fantastic achievement.
Feck Qatar the bastards. Loads of miserable people here today now.
Load of crap, if you watched the games they deserved to win each one they won.This match and probably this whole tournament is clearly rigged for Qatar to win it all since day one. What a farce. Football the beautiful game.
Fair enough. You were right about Qatar. Probably the impact of their excellent Academy there. Still keep my opinion Japan has a lot of interesting players for the future.
That Almoez Ali kid won two MvP back to back in two tournaments. European clubs might want to keep an eye on him.
He scored fantastic goals in both tournaments too. Would be great to see him in Europe
Can't believe Almoez is only 22 years old. He played like a seasoned pro in his prime like he is 28, 29. And some of the goals he scored 
Are any of the Qatar players currently playing for European clubs?
They’ve mostly played for the smaller Qatari-owned European clubs like Eupen, Cultural Leonesa and LASK Linz, so it doesn’t really count.
That should change after this tournament. The main problem they’ll have though is the same one we always have in the Gulf; the local Gulf clubs can always match and exceed what the European clubs will be offering in wages and so usually the player doesn’t end up going. It’s a shame.
Congrats Qatar. Will be interesting to see how they do in the Copa América later this summer.
Wasn't sure if there was much point in starting a thread dedicated to Asian Champions League as unsure if anyone else follows it.
Anyone have any idea why so many teams generally don't care about? Ittihad rotated loads yesterday, Nassr as well, Sanfreece playing entire reserves today and Kashima rotated loads also.
