Today, let's take a look at the Asian Cup. The Chinese team's Group A group stage matches have all ended, the host Qatar team won all three games and accumulated 9 points, without conceding a goal to qualify perfectly, and the Tajikistan team, which participated in the Asian Cup finals for the first time, was in the last game 2: 1 defeated Lebanon, and also successfully completed the qualification from the group, creating the history of the country's football team, the Chinese team is currently ranked third in the group, 2 points, goal difference of -1, and now have to wait for the results of other matches to be decided, to see if they can still complete the qualification,.
In fact, there is no need to wait for a long time for this result, because in the two games played today, it will determine the fate of the Chinese team to qualify or be eliminated, and the remaining days of the group stage have nothing to do with the Chinese team, because the third place in those groups will definitely be better than the Chinese team's results. Therefore, what other people do has nothing to do with whether we qualify or not.
At 19:30 Beijing time this evening, the final round of Group B group stage matches will be played at the same time, with Australia taking on Uzbekistan, while Syria and India will be more watched by Chinese fans because it is the first difficulty that China will need to overcome. The Syrian team is currently in the group stage with a draw and a loss, with a goal difference of -1, 1 point less than the Chinese team, if the Indian team can draw 0-0 with the Syrian team in this game, and the Syrian team gets two yellow cards in this game, or a red card, the Chinese team will surpass the Syrian team in the results, and wait for the results of another game between Palestine and Hong Kong, if the game between Palestine and Hong Kong can also draw, then the Chinese team will become the third of the four groups with better results, so as to enter the knockout round of 16。
I believe that everyone knows how harsh this condition is, maybe we don't have to wait for the game between Palestine and Hong Kong to end, and Syria will be able to eliminate us. Because the last game of the group stage, whether it is Syria or India. They must all hope to win and get the right to qualify from the group, so this game must be played widely, once this game produces a goal, whether it is a goal scored by the Indian team or a goal scored by the Syrian team, the Chinese team's Asian Cup journey will end early, because a draw with goals has no meaning for the Chinese team.
Of course, theoretically, we still have a chance to qualify, and this chance of qualifying for the Chinese team will even cause an epic problem for the AFC. If India and Syria draw 0-0, and then Syria gets a yellow card without a red card, and in another game, Palestine and Hong Kong also draw, then Syria and China have the same number of points, both two points, the same goal difference, both -1, the same number of red and yellow cards, all the same conditions, who should be given to the last promotion place?
Perhaps when this happens, not only Chinese fans, but also fans all over Asia and the world will be watching how the AFC will decide this last qualifying spot. Because the current European Cup, the African Cup of Nations adopts the same format and the rules and conditions for promotion as the Asian Cup, so far, under this format, there has not been such an extreme situation, if this extreme situation really broke out in Syria and China, we will also see how the Asian Cup AFC will determine the last ticket to qualify.
