The third round of the Asian Cup group stage ended with Australia drawing 1-1 with Uzbekistan and Syria narrowly beating India 1-0 in Group B. In Group C, Iran beat the United Arab Emirates 2-1 and Palestine beat Hong Kong 3-0.
After the previous three rounds of Group A, our national football team ranked third with 2 points, 0 wins, 0 goals and 1 goal conceded (promotion to be determined), which also became the worst result in the history of the national football team since participating in the Asian Cup.
With the end of Group B and Group C of the Asian Cup group stage, the national football team is very unfortunate to become the first team to be eliminated from the Asian Cup in third place. As a result, the two big countries' 2.8 billion people have a total of 0 wins and 0 goals, and they will continue to hone their skills and fight again next year. I believe that the national football team and India's football level will usher in a leap forward one day in the future, and it is not impossible to win the Asian Cup.
At present, 10 places have been confirmed for the top 16 of the Asian Cup, namely the host Qatar, Australia, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Syria, the United Arab Emirates and Palestine. Another 6 teams have been eliminated from the tournament, namely Vietnam, Malaysia, Lebanon, the national football team, India and Hong Kong, China.
At the same time, two sets of matchups have surfaced in the knockout rounds of the Asian Cup, namely Iran vs. Syria and Tajikistan vs. the United Arab Emirates (this set of matchups feels like Tajikistan has a chance to achieve another success).
