Asian fans simultaneously mocked the 2023 Asian Cup final
Asian football fans mocked Qatar's championship after the 2023 Asian Cup final against Jordan.
Qatar's Asian Cup championship is in doubt
"Korean national team is a disaster at the 2024 Asian Cup"
On the evening of February 10, the 2023 Asian Cup finals officially ended with Qatar's championship after a 3-1 victory over "dark horse" Jordan. Notably, all three goals of the home team were scored on the penalty spot by Akram Afif.

Thus, Qatar has successfully defended its continental throne at home. However, this achievement of the West Asian representative did not receive recognition from Asian fans.
On the social networking site of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), neutral fans simultaneously spoke sarcastically about the host Qatar, and at the same time gave great comfort to Jordan. Many comments have been made:
Hemant Sharma's account: "Qatar can win any Asian Cup held at home. Jordan you played well against the destined champion."
Fan Adam Ziyad: "Money has been paid."
"Qatar is the king of penalties", "Qatarnatly", "Qatar - PENALTY champion"
A fan mocked the name of the AFC Asian Cup as "AFC Qatar Penalty Cup"
Fan Amall Pasantren Teng'h: "Jordan you are the most worthy champion."
In this match, Chinese referee Ma Ning consulted VAR three times and decided to give Qatar a penalty. In particular, the penalty at the end of the match in extra time caused a lot of controversy when Akram Afif was said to have been offside before being fouled in the penalty area.
Fans are also skeptical about the authenticity of the semi-automatic offside detection technology as it takes a long time to provide images on television.
With the 2024 Asian Cup championship, Qatar has "joined the same tray" as South Korea, Japan, Iran, and Saudi Arabia to become countries that have won the championship two or more times in a row.
A group of good players including Ali Almoez, Akram Afif, Hassan Al-haidos,... has lifted the Asian throne for the next time. Qatari football is at its peak.
