5-3, 1-1, another strong team in Asia rose, seriously threatening the status of the national football team, and it was also suspended in the top 18!
5-1, 1-1, the rise of another strong team in Asia has seriously threatened the status of the national football team, even if it defeats Thailand in the next round and advances to the round of 18, it is very hanging!
When it comes to strong Asian teams, the first thing that comes to mind for fans is definitely Japan and South Korea in East Asia, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Qatar in West Asia, and Australia that joined later. In recent years, second-rate strong teams such as Uzbekistan, the United Arab Emirates, and Iraq have been added. In the Asian Cup, we saw the strong rise of teams such as Jordan and Tajikistan. Jordan has defeated South Korea, but today we are not talking about Jordan, but about Tajikistan.
Tajikistan and the national football team were in the same group in the Asian Cup, and the two teams drew 0-0 in the opening game. At that time, there were still many fans who complained about the strength of the national football team, in fact, fans who watched that game would feel that Tajikistan was obviously stronger. Sure enough, Tajikistan managed to advance from the group.
After reaching the round of 16, Tajikistan faced the UAE after a 1-1 draw in 90 minutes before claiming a 5-3 victory on penalties. However, Tajikistan lost 0-1 to Jordan in the round of eight. Jordan beat South Korea 2-0 in the semi-finals. This shows that Tajikistan's strength is really good.
The topic returned to the World Preliminary Tournament, the national football team's 4-1 victory over Singapore was a happy thing, but considering that there are still two tough battles behind, and then think about Group G Tajikistan drew 1-1 with Saudi Arabia, I feel that even if I enter the round of 18, it is still hanging in the balance if I want to enter the World Cup.
I have to say that Tajikistan's strength is really good, and it entered the top 8 in the Asian Cup, not so much as a dark horse, but because of its strength. Saudi Arabia is a traditional powerhouse in Asia, and it defeated the world champion Argentina in the World Cup. In this World Preliminary Tournament, two games against Tajikistan won one win and one draw, only scored 2 goals, and conceded 1 goal, so Tajikistan has quietly risen and slowly grown into a strong team. The national football team drew with Tajikistan in the Asian Cup, and now it seems that it is really fortunate that it has not lost.
The rise of Tajikistan can be regarded as a serious threat to the status of the national football team in Asia. Because Tajikistan is still only third in Group G, who will get Jordan and Saudi Arabia ahead of them?
Judging from the current points situation of the nine groups, Group A Qatar has already qualified, Group B will be Japan and Syria hand in hand to enter the round of 18, Group C South Korea is worry-free, Group D Kyrgyzstan and Oman are more likely, Group E is the world of Iran and Uzbekistan, Group F is Iraq and Indonesia have advanced, Group G Saudi Arabia has no worries, Jordan and Tajikistan have a chance, Group H The United Arab Emirates and Bahrain have already won the promotion places, Group I Australia and Palestine are sure to advance.
Today's national football team even struggles to play a Singapore, look at these teams that advance to the top 18, can there still be a chance for the national football team in the 8.5 places?
