I'm not sure Son will be in good shape to play at weekend, maybe place on bench only but be good to get him back

30/45mins off bench, if needed, should be OK.

Great to have gentle pressure on Johnson/Kulu/Werner to be on it more consistently now.

And good riddance to both these fking comps tbh.

The attendance for the Cape Verde / South Africa semi appears to be in the region of 200.

Good news is that the 200 who turned up for the QF have at least each brought a guest or two so the attendance is closer to 500.

Qatar beat Iran to make the Asian Cup Final against Jordan. Nice of Iran and South Korea to beat all the other favourites (Australia, Saudi Arabia, Japan) and then immediately lose to the underdogs. The equivalent of Spurs beating City, Liverpool etc. in the FA Cup only to lose to fucking Huddersfield...

Always a bit wierd to see Australia being part of the asian cup. Could just play in the euros instead.

So Qatar was in South America last year and is now in Asia. Will it join Africa next year?

They are closer to North America, South America and Africa than Europe.

When 2-0 becomes 1-1.

Maybe.

 

[N5 Spur]

So with 5 minutes or so left in the semi-final, Nigeria go 2-0 but VAR takes it back to a penalty decision in their own box - right call. South Africa score and it's 1-1.

Qatar going for back to back Asian Cup wins.

 

[N5 Spur]

When 2-0 becomes 1-1.

Maybe.

Definitely maybe...

VAR mathematics.

 

[N5 Spur]

How did you miss, Mr South African player...

Can't fault this tournament for late drama.

1-1 after 90. Extra-time coming up.

That’s either a pen or a red

Outside of the box. Definitely a red though.

#13 for South Africa's name is Sithole.

Unlucky.

 

[Football Chap]

Quite like both those kits

 

[Cranston]

Pitiful pens.

Just put your fucking laces through it.

The sound is not synched on my feed.

The sound is 10 seconds ahead of the video.

Unlucky.
