Group C is crazy, especially with this format where top 3 qualify, and 3rds and 4ths in each group go on to a next round where 2 more will qualify directly

Not even mad at Fati for milking his contract. His father probably knew something we didn't know.



I started following soccer more closely when he burst on the scene and every part of me wants him to come back from all this shyt and fulfill his destiny. I hate stories like this where injuries rob athletes and us fans of potential greatness.

Last year that guy y'all said was better, stepped away because he said he was tired. Meanwhile the GOAT stays another year.

Alot of long term planning here, guess they don't anticipate any drastic changes :troll:. Yet some ppl get worked up over it and expect to be gifted titles they didn't earn on the pitch.

Wild and also a commentary on how bad Australia and Saudi have fell off in Asian comp. Foreign players have stuck around for the most part in the Saudi league, but it has turned out to be very damaging for overall development of domestic talent.

Overall, results so far are consistent with Asian Cup performance though. Including Jordan on track to qualify and Indonesia continuing its improvement.
