Like England at world cups, winning the actual thing is far away. Actually lifting the trophy. I feel the percentages diminish because of how many obvious stuff ups can happen.

bookies do not favour us at all? I try to correct my bias but I reckon we have at least a 20-25% chance of winning?

Japan	~65%	1.54
South Korea	~29%	3.45
Iran	~21%	4.76
Jordan	~8%	12.5
Saudi Arabia	~3%	33.3
Australia	~1%	~100.0
Qatar	<1%	>100
Uzbekistan	<1%	>100

It seems no one is taking bets yet. My very quick google search couldn't find anything.
You need to spring for the paid AI. Free ones are pretty rubbish.


I'm sure it would give a different estimate each time. But this seems more realistic

What typically happens is we won't pick the player then they're magically fit a week later in clubland. I agree however that any rash decision here is negligent. Behich it is...

I won't pretend to be an expert on these type of injuries but reports say that typically he would be expected to be back roughly around the time of the Asian Cup. I hope his recovery goes well and he is fit and available, but I would hate to see him rush back to play before he is ready and reinjure himself. As for Behich, it all depends on how he goes between now and then. He is getting on and doesn't have a lot of time left. I hope someone else emerges to put a bit of pressure on him and also to be an alternative to Bos in the future.
