I wasn't following the Asian Cup, but I just saw on the news that both South Korea and Australia have been eliminated from the competition...wtf? shocking...I thought South Korea was one of the main favorites to win the whole thing  Roll Eyes

Now we have the semi-finals: Iran vs Japan / Qatar vs UAE

I guess Iran is now the favorite to win the cup?

Too many surprises at the AFC Cup now only Japan and Iran are the strongest candidates as champions
But I want to see Iran vs Qatar in the final and Qatar come out as champions  Roll Eyes

UAE win just banged all my expectations and that's due the poor Australian performance , I said it before I don't like how both of these teams play but didn't expect Australia to be that bad and waste qualifying for the next

what I'm annoyed about the most is that I thought my outright for Qatar to be the best west Asian team won since UAE is the last other west Asian team
I still think that Qatar is better but now it's too much risk for me since surprises happen a lot in this competition , I may have to hedge and bet UAE to qualify to the final

now it seems that Iran is the clear favor to win it all judging but the qualifiers and how all of them played , I may take Iran to win the title if odds went to over X2.20

UAE was the surprise of the day tbh, and I think I can easily say Qatar will indeed make to the finals. I might even place a bet on them to lift the trophy now if the point is somewhat enticing.

I'll say Qatar vs Japan for finals.

I expected before that Qatar and UAE will win but indeed both games were going initially in the opposite direction!
I expect Qatar to win although the game is in their opponent country, they deserve to pass to the final. For Iran vs Japan, I think most people will bet for Iran, i think it has a better chance but in the AFC everything is possible and teams performance are as unstable as bitcoin price  Tongue

Could you imagine the odds for the ones who took both underdog teams for today?
Qatar was at 4.75x odds before the match started and UAE must of been over 11x odds pre live.
I bet live after they scored at the 68' mark and got 1.5x odds.

South Korea is one of the most strongest football team in Asia, they even managed to beat Germany 2-0 in the world cup held in Russia, I am pretty sad to see South Korea getting eliminated from the Asian Cup tournament, but Qatar did indeed scored an amazing goal from long range and I believe it truly caught the South Korea goalkeeper by surprise.
South Korea is a good team but comparing it to the 2018 German team is biased. Germany performance was just shameful in the last World Cup.
For UAE and Australia it is draw until the moment +65' with an Australian possession >60%. The Qatari scenario could happen again?
That has got to be the worst goal in the entire competition Australia just gave up to the uae.
Kruse passed it to the goalkeeper but it ended up on a uae defender and he scores an easy one.
It is just a shock to everyone Australia hasnt been able to put one in the net.
Didnt they score 6 - 0 against oman at the beginning of this competition?

What happened to the uae player at the last minute of regulation?
It looked like he snapped his neck during that header with the australian defender.

Yes! I said it, I knew this Qatar could do it and Indeed they made me proud and another whopping bet of 4.5 odds won Tongue
Let's just see how far they can go now, I tip them to make the finals.

UAE just scored in other fixture against Australia in the 69th minute. If they see it through then it will be UAE vs Qatar for the semis..

The S.Korea goal keeper did underestimate qatars striking force when put in the right position.
It skipped the ground but Aziz aimed for the g.k left corner all the way from the point of contact.
Totally caught him off guard then it smooth sailing to the victory because of their well known capability of spending as much time with falling to ground with the slightest touch.

Qatar made history today qualifying for the semi final , I knew they will play good football and as expected Korea didn't dominate the game as bookies expected
won both of my bets and my outright bet is looking better and better , it will officially win if Australia was able to knock out UAE but if somehow UAE managed to qualify I can make a hedge next game and still secure nice profits

moving to the next game , to be honest I hate how both of UAE and Australia play and both teams were really overrated in the past games against weaker opponents
UAE defense isn't strong so betting on Australia to score at least 2 goals may be good (X2.17 sportsbet odds ) since Australia usually creates a lot of chances

to be honest I don't like this game or this bet a lot , but going for it just to enjoy the game since today secured a lot of profit

Yes I agree with you completely on your assumption on the next match today with Australia going up against the UAE.
Really unpredictable on the result but goals should be a plenty especially from the visitors but the hosts will not go quietly like S.Korea just did.
I saw the odds of the Qatar game and it was 4.74x before the match started and couldnt resist on taking the dark horse team.
Those odds were just to irresistible to pass up and glad you cashed in on the game as well.

Qatar cant be underestimated.
Watched their match against Iraq and they were solid defense wise. Offense is another subject but they held up good.
Is South Korea a super power in these Asian cup matches cause I have not watched them play yet.

Where have you been? Haha! South Korea and Japan are practically Asian royalty - and if you need a reminder of how well they play despite certain physicalities in height, you only need to rewind to 2018 World Cup to see how doggedly they can take a match.

All the same, I took a Qatar bet only because they are still the darkhorses of this tourney.
I just started watching at the 60 minute of the second half.
And from what I have seen so far South Korea has just been sitting back and not putting pressure on Qatar and thats why they scored at the 80 minute mark and are probably going to win the game.
And just now they are starting to want to score. They dont start to strike in the last minutes of the game?
Not to smart for a team to start doing with a qatar team whom I watched during their last game laying in waiting until they opponents are too tired to do anything.
And now they are leading they know how to waste time by falling to the ground and having their stretcher come on the field in the dying minutes of the game.
That seems to be the smarter team in this asian cup.

I see now why Tottenham hot spurs have over very high odds of winning their match against Chelsea the other day.

Coming right now and it is draw between Qatar and South Korea after 78 minutes with a 61% possession for the South Korean. Extra-time maybe?

Edit : Qatar just scored (fixed the time)

first game for today South Korea vs Qatar .. here are my thoughts :

I have shared here before few days ago that the odds for Qatar to win or to qualify are really good to take and I was right cause odds went lower the next day
placed one unit on Qatar to qualify X3.59 sportsbet odds after boost , now it's lower so the value is really small ( X2.87 after boost )

we all saw how Qatar played great against all of their opponents , they won all of their games without having to go extra time and all teams failed to score against Qatar
South Korea disappointed me last game and showed me that they aren't as good as we expect them to be

I placed 2 units as well on Qatar to score at least one goal , odds for that in sportsbet is X1.74 after boost and I strongly believe this is the best play for this match
Qatar has one of the best striking lines in Asia and they have the top goal scorer for the competition Almoez Ali scoring 7 goals so far !!

Totally with you on this, my friend! I actually caught them at around 4.6 on Bitcoinrush, but you know, I just HAD to parlay it with 2 other games haha... They had even better on Fairlay too, it's almost 5/1 now if you still want to bet!

So far so good, they're the only team with 1 shot on target, though not very pretty possession wise. Almoez FTW!

I didn't really follow ASIAN CUP and yesterday I lost because I bet for Vietnam vs Japan about goals over 2.5, lol. Now I want to try again for South Korea vs Qatar match with the same type of bet, which is over 2.5 with an odds of 2.44 or maybe over 1.5 odds 1.47, because I'm sure Qatar can provide great resistance to South Korea, so I'm not sure of the type of bet ML. Hopefully I'm not mistaken this time.
I wouldnt bet on goals for this match. It is a toss up really.
I went with Qatar to win and with the above person who said they are saying their might be an upset in this match.
I did go with an over for the Australia match going on later today. Those two teams know how to score and the host team will not go down without a fight. I put over 2.5 goals for with 2.39x odds.

I did bet on Japan yesterday and won the bet, the odd was low 1.33 but I am happily playing this cup as the games seem to be going well for gamblers. I placed a bet on South Korea today as the odd was 2.1 at bet365 and was against Qatar, I have seen both teams playing and I think I will win this bet today too because South Korea plays better and have also beaten Germany.

The match against Germany in the World cup is as way back as 6-7 months ago, I don't think that should be taken in to consideration to analyze this fixture, Every knew germany was terrible at the World cup and even after the world cup. South Korea could only beat Germany buy never qualified from the group stage either.  This Qatar team should never be underestimated, and I wouldn't be taken aback should they win this match.

If they lose as well, I think this team should leave the stadium with their heads held up high because they've had a fantastic tournament in my opinion. I'm really backing them to cause an upset today!
