The Asian Football Thread

[Super Shojaei]

We should push for an Eurasian confederation.
Central Asia + Iran + Caucasus + East Europe.

ridiculous thing amongst all this is the corruption has continued

qatar used the Iranian massacres to score themselves two more home games 1 for Al Sadd who really needed the points and one for Al Ahli but the jordanian team had to play against SS on a neutral venue so out of all this qatar get a chance to improve their coefficient via other asian teams so basically they get 2 more home games compared to every other nation still competing in intercontinental competitions .

Thing is as long as the main sponsors of this federation are Neom, Qatar Airways , Saudi Aramco all this bs will continue- the federation itself is too dependent on west asian sponsors i think this is the reason the likes of Japan and Korea haven't bailed or can't bail yet.

the original source of the story was an Iraqi newspaper - so im not sure how Iraqis can get intel on what the Japanese federation are thinking

That's awesome! I've discussed this before, that as long as UEFA keeps it's door shut, AFC cannot improve.
AFC needs to be exposed to high level football daily, instead of a few high profile club and national matches every few months.

Don’t think Japan can say no to the Saudi Qatari and emrayti money- it’s these countries that essentially pay to keep this confederation running


I wonder if japan were also unhappy with Kawasaki frontale having to play an acl final in Saudi

I also find it odd how all the Asian playoffs and acl quarters onwards are done in Saudi - they’ve paid off the confederation heavily

Our own fans wanted Beiro and Niazmand tossed and flogged for mistakes when they played in Europe.

Niazmand and Beiro were both almost 30 when they were in Europe....at that age most of your development is already done and you're supposed to be an experience keeper.

Beiro somehow got even worse as he gets older. Brother can barely distribute a ball under pressure without committing a mega sooti

Come on dadash. Not even comparable.

Suzuki is a young, hard working, and humble keeper who despite his flaws has managed to hold down a starting position in Europe.

Beiro on the other hand is an overrated egomaniac who flopped in two different European countries in his late 20s before returning to Iran. He has shown zero signs of improvement since 2018 and still lacks basic GK fundamentals and take insane unnecessary risks.

just goes to show giving youth a chance and allowing them to make mistakes matters
