After the World Cup group results were announced, the fate of Asian teams was generally poor, especially the two teams that advanced to the play-offs. Whether it is Australia or the United Arab Emirates, entering the World Cup will be divided into Group D, the opponents are the World Cup 2 champions, the world's 3rd France, the European powerhouse, the world's 11th place Denmark, even the weakest Tunisia is also ranked 35th in the world, and Australia is 42nd in Asia, but it is the 42nd in the world, obviously not dominant in strength, and the UAE is more struggling, the world ranking is only 68.
The rice should be eaten bite by bite, and the road should be taken step by step. Asian play-offs, Australia is still at the power team level, so with the United Arab Emirates, the psychological advantage is not small, and the West Asian team is not good at physical confrontation, and this is precisely Australia's advantage, so the way of play or rely on fierce defense to contain the opponent, but because it is a single game to determine the winner, this has a certain degree of serendipity, so Australia still has to do a good job of defense, the possibility of the gutter overturning ship is reduced to the minimum, as long as it can play the high-altitude advantage of the set-piece, then it is getting closer and closer to winning.
Of course, even if you pass the Level of the United Arab Emirates, what awaits Australia will be Peru, the 5th in South America and the 22nd in the world, obviously, Australia has suddenly become a weak side, the opponent is good at passing, even in the face of Brazil, Argentina and other world powerhouses do not suffer losses, so Australia can only fight the opponent, try to drag the game into the penalty, so that both sides can stand on the same running line, otherwise it is difficult to compete with the opponent, to this level, want to qualify I am afraid that it will take some luck.
However, even if you enter the World Cup, against France, due to the strength gap between the two sides is too large, I am afraid that it will also open a fiasco mode, 2 encounters, Australia have lost, of which in 2013 is a 0-6 fiasco; and Denmark will not be merciful, not only to go all out to win, 2 teams meet 4 times, Australia 1 draw 3 losses, the biggest point difference is 0-2, 1-3 loss, but also as much as possible to accumulate the goal difference, for the strong dialogue with France in advance to lay the foundation, once the two sides draw will calculate small points, Goal difference against weak teams will play a decisive role, so Australia is basically difficult to qualify, and can only find a way to get points on Tunisia and make its World Cup trip look better.
