Curse because of Australia and its team, the final was not held in Iraq. If you are afraid and do not want to play in Iraq and other Asian countries, why did you bring them to our continent? Go to your continent. We do not want you. You spoiled the joy of separation by holding matches in its land.

In the Gulf countries, entering the stadium to watch local league matches is free, and yet you do not see a large crowd attending. In Europe, on the contrary, tickets to enter the matches are expensive, and yet you find people from all groups and classes, despite the difficult economic situation, attending weekly, and sometimes 2 times a week, to watch their favorite team matches, even though the players have millions of dollars in their bank accounts😂😂

It is funny how Australia has practically make more history in AFC in 19 years than most of their members in history. The only country whose teams have won Asian Champions League and AFC cup The country that made possible to have 5 and 6 Asian teams in the 2018 and 2022 world cups respectivelly making it the only country to win the international playoff for AFC in their history. But for some reasons people from AFC nations specially those from Arabs, South and South East Asia cry and whine too much about having Australia as a member but if it wasn't for them AFC would not have this ammount of recent success.

Australia is strange: 1. Not an Asian nation and only joined the AFC for competitive purposes. 2. Football isn't the biggest sport. 3. Disliked by most Asian countries except Japan and South Korea due to their European heritage. 4. Still not winning any youth competitions in Asia. 5. Ended up becoming the first and only AFC member to have won both the AFC Champions League (ACL) and AFC Asian Cup at the same time. 6. Advanced past the group stages of the FIFA World Cup after surviving a tense playoff (initially dismissed as outsider). 7. The first AFC nation to win the AFC Cup and ACL in the history, complete the collection.

If Asian nations didn't want Australia why did they accept them back in 2005? It is going to be 20 years since that happen and they still cry about it and the nations that cry the most are countries whose football leagues and competitions suck. Specially Bangladeshis, Indonesians, Indians, Pakistanis that are the ones that can shut their mouth and have to claim some magical South American ancestry to feel they have won something or else look at the celebrations they had when Argentina won the world cup. Bigger than even the actual Argentinians.

The weekly celebrating, glorifying of violence saturating the daily papers, media! The attitude and behaviour, a type of toxic masculinity, permeating through society.. Not much talk of this at the moment, which surprises, considering recent domestic violence incidence's..
