The tournament schedule is too tight. The host Maldives ONLY has one day rest, which could be a huge challenge for them, especially they've played extra time in the semi-final.

I would like to support host Maldive with little stake. Firstly, they are host and should be much more motivated before their their own supporters. Second, Several players of Afghanistan need to game physical check after the traffic accident and will most likely miss this game. Furthermore, the coach of Afghanistan will give some chance to the young boy in the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPLouis Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 Re: 2014 AFC Challenge Cup (Maldives) hello' date=' MPLouis. Will you be involved in this game?[/quote'] I'll be watching it, yes! The Maldives are exciting to watch - their attacking players have a lot of flair - (now if they could just shoot straight ... ) and Afghanistan also have an attacking approach. I've got a feeling there could be a few goals here. Odds of well over 2.0 for over 2.5 goals looks promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPLouis Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 Re: 2014 AFC Challenge Cup (Maldives) 3rd Place Result: Afghanistan 1 Maldives 1 (after extra time) Maldives won on penalties Maldives celebrated as if they'd won the tournament, and I was pleased for their noisy colourful fans. But harsh on Afghanistan who were the better side in the game from what I saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPLouis Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 Re: 2014 AFC Challenge Cup (Maldives) Final Result: Palestine 1 Philippines 0 (Palestine win the AFC Challenge Cup and qualify for the 2015 Asian Cup) Palestine deserved to win from what I saw. Their defence was strong - I don't think they conceded a goal in the tournament, and Philippines rarely threatened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
