Guam have had a player sent off while conceding a penalty (converted) in the 50th minute - 4 nil to Iran, but it could get ugly now

Cheers,

Looks like the Guam game kicks off about 4.30 and the Saudi game at 9. That's some entertainment until the roos game

some of the upcoming match streams are available on the AFC Asian Cup Youtube channel

not sure about the DPR Korea vs Bahrain game

Nice are they streaming anywhere?

some late afternoon/early evening kickoffs (NSW/VIC/TAS time) for Guam vs Iran, Timor Leste vs Saudis and Korea DPR vs Bahrain

the #1 seeds should all be comfortable vs the #5 seeds - other than Bhutan most of the minnows have kept the scores to date below 10 and have played better at home

potentially on or more of the #4 seeds could shake things up by snatching a draw or win against the #2 seeds (or 2nd Seed Bahrain could pinch a point from 4th Seed Best Korea)

Not sure it's been posted before, Ricky Herbert is now coaching the Maldives national team! His first match was a home loss to Hong Kong though.

In summary we know that if Kuwait is thrown out Group G 2nd place could end up on 15 points maximum (counting the bottom placed side) while all the other groups could end up with a 2nd placed team on 13 points maximum (not counting the 5th placed side). If Kuwait stays then Group D 2nd place could end up on 13 points maximum as well.

More likely (as pointed out above) is that if the bug guns win the games they are expected to then a decent number of 2nd placed teams end up on 10-12 points so 13 points is possibly likely to be enough to make the 4 best. Wins in the next 2 games would see the Socceroos on 12 pts (not including Bangladesh) so a draw in the last match is highly likely to be the most needed unless we slip up beforehand.

Group A:
Palestine 6–0 Malaysia
United Arab Emirates 8–0 Timor-Leste

Group B
Australia 3–0 Kyrgyzstan
Tajikistan 5–0 Bangladesh

Group C
Maldives 0–1 Hong Kong
China PR 12–0 Bhutan

Group D
Iran 3–1 Turkmenistan
India 1–0 Guam

Group E:
Singapore 0–3 Japan

Group F:

Group G:

Group H:

Uzbekistan 3–1 North Korea

We might even be guaranteed a spot in the next round before the Jordan game by beating Tajikistan with one match day to go. If we're very high up in the second place table, a safe gap might appear. We're going to be on 12 points on the second place table after the Tajikistan game no doubt. All below is in the view of the second place table system.

UAE or Saudi will probably go through as second in their group.

Syria should end up on 12 points by beating Singapore and getting nothing in Japan and beating last place Cambodia.

Oman have little chance of winning in Iran and Turkmenistan and even then they'd be on 11 while we'll have at least 12. China, HK or Qatar will definitely go through as second in their group as all 3 are so high up above Bhutan and Maldives.

Kuwait and Lebanon don't pose a threat as they both need to go to South Korea and face Myanmar. Iraq are near gone in their group while North Korea seem poised to finish second but go through as I see Uzbekistan taking maximum points.

Such a fascinating state of affairs.

Basically I'm saying "scoring lots of goals is good", so I won't bother trying to over explain it.
You get me. :lol:

As I understand it, the Bangladesh game won't count towards points in the best second place table, but certainly we'll want to pump up that goal difference against them to beat Jordan in our own group too as it will be tight.

Palestine raw dogged Malaysia 6-0, East Timor have let a late torrent of goals away to the UAE, who are up 8-0 with a few minutes left.

The Bangladesh game will help GD. Won't count as they'll finish last. I think a draw at home to Jordan probably would see us in the top 4 but it'd be a nervous night while the rest of Asia plays. Hopefully Kyrgyzstan see the benefit benefit of 3rd for the Asian Cup and take it to Jordan.

FT India 1 Guam 0. Almost another Greece v Faroe Islands!

Such a dumb system. Why not have playoffs like they have for the Asian Cup group? Makes me very nervous. We'll need to up the GD in all our games at home.

Down to 3rd on the 2nd place table. Groups are being dominated by two teams and it makes that table very close.

pretty light weight team from wat i remember

Bangladesh will surely be demoralised after their 5-0 loss to Tajikistan.

55 minutes into India v Guam and the country with x10,000 the population is up 1-0, but they have a red card. Plz.

Uzbek turned it on against North Korea. We're 2nd on the 2nd place table and it's still pretty tight there. Thailand are doing really well and Iraq are in trouble but have a little in hand.

Uzbeks v Norks stream. Should be tasty encounter.

HT Tajikistan 2 Bangladesh 0

Bangladesh almost nabbed a goal away to Tajikistan. Taji's will win comfortably though.


China leading Bhutan 7-0 at half time..

this one is on 11pm tonight (Syd/Melb time) , I expect this to be a very popular away trip if both ourselves and the Thais qualify and are drawn together in the next stage

I disagree mate, it would still be their group to lose if they get beaten tonight - Syria at home in the last match shouldn't cause many problems even if it is must win

ALHUK MAHUKKKKKK HUKKK
