Honda retired from international football following the World Cup, as did Hasebe.I wonder if Honda would have been there if he wasn't injured?

Re: 2019 Asian Cup
Don't forget that under Asia's tie breaking rules, another loss on Friday + Syria winning against Jordan = guaranteed elimination

Empty stadium for the Japan-Turkmenistan match.
The AFC Asian Cup really needs to steer clear of the Gulf States.

Re: 2019 Asian Cup
Japan managed to get past Turkmenistan 3-2 in a match where the Turkmen were damn dangerous just outside of the box; they could really hit a long ball and were not scared to pull the trigger. An odd choice of colours though with Japan in their blue and Turkmenistan in a dark green which made it difficult to tell who was who at times; perhaps an organisational balss-up.
In the other match Uzbekistan were somewhat surprisingly dominated by Oman but still came away with a 2-1 win. A win is a win however the White Wolves will need to up their game.

Re: 2019 Asian Cup
Thailand were perhaps a trifle lucky against Bahrain to come away 1-0 winners, though the Bahraini's were terribly wayward in their attempts at goal so did themselves no favours.
India went down to UAE 0-2.
Jordan beat Syria 2-0 which ensures them top place in our group if we beat Palestine tonight. If we beat Palestine (I can't believe I keep using the term "if"; GA doesn't inspire confidence) then we only require a draw against Syria to come second in the group.

Re: 2019 Asian Cup
Palestine 0- 2 Australia
Maclaren scores the first.
Mabil scores the second a few minutes later.
Good.
We need goals, goals, goals!

Re: 2019 Asian Cup
Two nice balls in that created those goals (Rogic & Ikonomidis). Palestine are starting to ham it up as the pressure mounts, fortunately the ref seems to be having little of it (even handed out a yellow for one Oscar performance).

Re: 2019 Asian Cup
3-0 in the end. A decent display with some faster play which was good to see.
Sainsbury's yellow puts him out for the all-important Syria clash, a game where our back four may be under a greater level of pressure than that experienced tonight.

Re: 2019 Asian Cup
China beat Philippines 3-0. though by the sounds of it the score didn't reflect the game.
Our group is going to have a blockbuster finish as Syria & Palestine both need to win to progress whilst Jordan have topped the group so are likely to field a weakened side, given the Lions of Canaan a chance.

Re: 2019 Asian Cup
Looks like Milligan will be moving back into a CB role to cover for Sainsbury with Luongo taking his place in the centre of midfield.
