Day 2 [AFC Asian Cup 2019] - Date, Time, & Live Updates

Pundits are right to call this a Mickey Mouse tournament. When countries need to resort to grassrolling for the final 1/3 of the match to ensure their 1 goal lead, then it's a Mickey Mouse mentality. Not to say that Australia has been impressive in any way but the moment some of these teams start to grassroll, you lose any incentive to root for them.

When Arab Teams score first, than we have indeed a Mickey Mouse Game/Tournament.

This and yesterday’s Game against the host are already good indicators that CQ cautionary approach is right. There are no easy games and instead of assuming ourselves in the semis and then final it’s one game at the time. That’s tournement approach.

Yes he is absolutely right about that. But one could expect that playing against Jordan is very difficult.
As far as i remember we always struggle against them and the aussies also lost/draw them plenty of times.

Yesterdays game was not like a huge shock, i mean it is not like Korea defeating Germany, Uae were favorites but not
that better on paper than Bahrain.

[ehsan singapore]

Jordan won

[forzatm]

FT australia 0-1 Jordan

[Lorestani]

75 percent ball possession for nothing. Australia was hapless in offense.

[IranPowned]

SO to Daniel Arzani! Take that you little scumbag.

The problem with a 24-team format is that it's not a 'big' loss for Australia since they can still qualify for the next round relatively easily. The irony is that if they mess-up again and finish 3rd, they could end up playing us in the R16 (if we finish 1st in Group D).
