On March 24, 2022, the World Preliminary Round Asian Qualifiers have reached the 9th round, and due to Japan's 2-0 defeat of Australia, the qualifying situation of Group A has undergone a fundamental change, or there is no suspense. Because Japan and Saudi Arabia have already confirmed the qualification, and the other group, South Korea, beat Iran 2-0, also made them join hands to qualify. In this way, the four teams in the 2022 World Cup finals have been 100% determined: Japan, Saudi Arabia, South Korea and Iran.
The match between The Chinese team and the Saudi team is underway, and the Japanese team defeats the Australian team, which also makes the Saudi team and the Japanese team have advanced to the World Cup one round earlier. Originally, everyone was still like the last round of Japan and Australia will die, and take this round of competition, many international players of the Japanese team did not participate, which shows how confident the Japanese team is in the remaining two games, and at the critical moment. In the Asian context, the Japanese team has been playing very calmly, which can reflect the confident procedures of the Japanese team to play in Asia.
Although Vietnam lost 1-0 to Oman, these matches didn't make any sense for both teams. Just like the match between China and Saudi Arabia, no matter the result is like a body, it does not affect the situation of the two teams qualifying, and the loss and win of the Saudi team only involves the ranking of the Saudi team.
The Vietnamese team can only be counted as a "jumping beam clown", their lofty ideals, just want to surpass the Chinese team in the round of 12 and make the national football team at the bottom. But even if our national football players are no longer motivated, this self-confidence is still there. Therefore, the Vietnamese team's intentions are unlikely to succeed.
As for the rest of the matches, like Iraq vs. the United Arab Emirates, China vs Saudi Arabia, including Lebanon's 3-0 defeat of Syria, these have become foils.
But the point here is that Australia, their 2-0 loss to Japan, for the Australian team's confidence is very important, if they finish third in the group's best result, then their significance in joining the AFC has been lost. For example, oceania qualifiers have 0.5 places, which can basically be locked in new Zealand, but New Zealand needs to compete with North America for a World Cup spot, and there is basically no hope.
But The Australians are not much better, and if they are third in the Asian preliminary group, they will compete with South American teams for the last place. It should be said that the worst team in South America played Australia, and there was basically no problem. Therefore, when it comes to the prospect of the Australian team, it can basically be described as "no play".
Anyway, in the future World Cup, I am still optimistic about the Japanese team, during the 2018 World Cup, Japan left a deep impression on us, they deserve the "Light of Asia". And our national football team, even if it beats the Saudi team, what can it do? A Gong Hanlin said a word, and the reaction was so big, you look at this thickness.
