omg that match was unreal. They were playing in a rice paddy in the middle of a monsoon

That match was so infuriating, the players couldn't so easily torn a muscle playing in those conditions. Truly ridiculous that they let that match be played under those conditions.

Thanks for making this thread, the game really sneaked up on me, didn't realize WCQ was already starting!

Like most of you here I have very little Faith in GN to do well. But the only glimmer of hope is the TM tactician Maricone whom with his guidance we can do well at the AC as well as WCQ.

Remain to be seen if GN will give them decent playing time.
If this Saharkhizan good? He seems to be short for a striker (176cm)

Put in half of the young kids against hong kong and then sub in the other half of kids at halftime. Against Uzbekistan, start all the old men and then sub in the top 2-3 young players in 75 min. Thanks

After they let TM play WCQ vs Syria in that Malaysia stadium full of rabbitholes, in middle of rainseason, they cant complain on anything IFF presents them on matchday..

LOL.

I was so pissed and especially at the Syrian team trying to timewaste.

But dont challenge IFF... they WILL FIND A WAY TO CAUSE PROBLEMS.
