Seems to be very low profile in the uk. Not in accessible tv or radio? Would have been interested in Australia v South Korea but can’t find anywhere to watch
 
Yeah it's not available in the UK on any of the sport channels I think. I've been able to find it on the old firestick on foreign channels

Good game this Australia v Korea game

Jordan Quatar final, which is a joke.

They both deserve to be there, especially Jordan who were excellent against Korea. Jordan hired a very good coach in Ammouta, who has overhauled the playing style from being a defensive team, to one that plays positive, on the front football, which is a brave thing to do considering the lack of time you get with national teams. Their results were bad leading up to the tournament, but the patience that's been shown is bearing fruit at the right time. Shows the importance of long term planning and thinking. Compare that to Korea, who appointed Klinsmann purely because he's a big name. Same with Qatar. They had ex Barcelona coach Sanchez for years, who progressed through the youth stages to the senior level and won the cup for them in 2019. They lost their way after that and had a poor WC, Sanchez left and Quieroz came in, but they've gone back to another Spanish coach who fits their style and it's worked. The other big teams in Asia have all underperformed.
