M’sian Football Enthusiast Claims The Asia Cup Final Had Conspired to Help Qatar Win

Taking to TikTok, this football enthusiast slammed the Asia Cup final for conspiracies that led to the host nation, Qatar winning it all.

Stating that if this happened during the earlier stages, it may have been somewhat acceptable, but the fact that it is happening on Asia’s biggest stage, made him lose a nerve.

“In my opinion, Qatar did not with the Asia Cup fair and square as it was marred by the VAR and FIFA themselves,” he said.

“It was supposed to be the best game, but it was not what it was hyped up to be.”

“The final has indeed lost its prestige. If once upon a time, conspiracy theorists believed that World Cup winner Argentina had a helping hand, today, it happened again when the hosts were given the upper hand,” he added.

“Imagine, three penalties were given in the Asia Cup finals. The first penalty was too soft and the third was a mistake!”

He further said, “Plus, Qatar should be guilty of time-wasting. If the blue card was already in place a number of Qatari players would have been benched. My respect goes out to the Jordanians. They played a helluva match.”

The match ended with Qatar winning it with a 3-1 scoreline.
