I’m delighted as a football fan to see that the level of competition among Asian countries has become so closely matched, making it exciting to watch the qualifiers from the very beginning. In the past, I only watched my own national team during the qualifiers. That said, my country has the chance to secure a spot in the World Cup in the next match, and it’s almost certain we’ll qualify in this third round. Even so, I think I’ll continue following the Asian qualifiers beyond the fourth round. My favorite national team, other than my own, is currently Uzbekistan. They’ve been my favorite since the last AFC Asian Cup. Even if they don’t secure a spot in this round, I’m confident Uzbekistan will make their World Cup debut soon. That being said, I also respect the other Asian nations and hope that no matter which countries qualify, the next World Cup will see an even greater surge in performance from Asia than the last tournament.
It's not all about the level of competition it's just some teams raising up with some teams all going down and some teams is taking results against good teams cuz the bigger side is just being bad
Just a quick note from Chinese fan, Wu Lei is definitely still a certified China national team starter. He is the top goal scorer in the Chinese super league but has been injured and absent from the last two international breaks. We certainly have done well without Wu Lei, but with him could be better in March. And yes, the Brazilian naturalised players are actual around 35 now.... so better not include them.
Here’s my analysis of all the teams: Group A: • Uzbekistan: They’ve secured some important points, but the head-to-head match against UAE and the away game against Iran will likely decide the 2nd spot. • Iran: Almost certain to advance-they just need 3 more points against UAE to qualify. However, they need to strengthen their defense. • UAE: With a better goal difference than Uzbekistan, they still have a chance to take 2nd place if they can beat Uzbekistan. • Qatar: This team raises a big question for fans: how can a team that won back-to-back Asian Cups now look like a Tier 4 team in Asia? Despite their 4-month break, they still have a chance to bounce back, potentially with changes in coaching or tactics. However, I don’t think they’ll secure the 2nd spot in this group. • North Korea: A hardworking team, but they need significant improvement in penalties. Unfortunately, they’re most likely out. • Kyrgyzstan: Despite showing improvement, they’ll probably finish last in the group. Group B: • South Korea: Like Iran, they need just one more win to qualify. I predict they might drop points against Iraq. • Iraq: They have a good chance of qualifying for the World Cup for the 2nd time if they can beat Jordan in their final match. • Jordan: A strong counterattacking team, but they’ve dropped crucial points against Kuwait. They must win against Iraq to stay in the race. • Oman: This isn’t the same team as in previous rounds-they’ve weakened. I predict 4th place will be a battle between Oman and Kuwait. • Kuwait: They’re improving and have a solid team, reminiscent of their powerhouse days in the 1980s. They have a good chance to finish 4th in the group. • Palestine: While they’ve shown resilience, given their challenges as a nation, I don’t see them progressing. Group C: • Japan: They’re on a different level. One more win will secure qualification, but I think they might drop points against Australia. • Australia: They’re likely to qualify but tend to take the harder path, as seen in the last two World Cups, where they made it through intercontinental playoffs. I predict 2 wins, 1 loss, and 1 draw in their remaining matches. • Saudi Arabia: While signing European elite players has elevated their league and attracted global attention, it’s negatively impacting their national team. Most Saudi players are in domestic clubs and can’t compete with players like Ronaldo, often leaving them on the bench. This lack of playing time affects their readiness for international matches. I don’t believe the new coach can work miracles to save them, but they have enough talent to reach the knockout stages. However, I predict a 4th-place finish in this group • Bahrain: They’re inconsistent-losing at home but picking up points away. It’s hard to predict where they’ll end up. • Indonesia: Backed by passionate fans, they’ve shown promise. They’ve played in the World Cup before under a different national name, and I think they could finish anywhere between 2nd and 4th. • China: They’ve bounced back well after a heavy loss to Japan. If they can secure 2 more wins, they have the potential to even finish 2nd.
As an Indonesian, we can qualify to the world cup if we keep wearing the white kit bcz it made us play like real madrid, but when we wear the red kit we play like united 😭 (also where's the saudis? u didnt write ur thoughts on them)
Saudi Arabia: players turned their back on mancini (the highest payed coach in the world in any sport) after he turned his back on them at the asian cup and now they think the guy who led them for their lucky win against argentina is going to come back and suddenly turn them into a quality team when the reality is they're in the group of death and everyone seems to know it but the Saudi Arabian players
As an Iranian, I confirm it's because of the mentality! The players just stop having the position when we get the lead! I think it's because the players aren't hungry enough. Taremi, Azmoun, Jahanbakhsh, and others don't need to show up but the players like Sayyadmanesh, Hosseinzadeh, Hosseinnezhad, Ghorbani, Saharkhizan, Limouchi, Hazbavi, Yousefi, Sahraei, Aghaeipour need that!
I'll sum up my fear of Popovic in this little rant: You guys remember Aaron Mooy? At West Sydney Wanderers under Popovic, he was constantly played in defensive minded midfield roles and often rotated from the first team, so much so many Aussies did not even recognize how good he was. Wanderers fans didn't seem upset Mooy left. Mooy goes to another club, Melbourne City, and within 12 months is considered the best player in the league. Another year later and Huddersfield were willing to drop £8 million for him. That's my 'worst case' fear, we don't have many creative players and the ones we do have Popovic won't be able to let shine. It's not that I think Popovic is bad, he's very good at what he does, if your team is shipping goals - give him a call, he will stop that crap 100%, but if that's not your problem don't call Tony Popovic. Early assessment he is a square peg for a round hole. Australia will still be hard to beat same as the Arnold era, but we still suck at actually winning, same as the Arnold era.😂
Bro popa to me is like facing a fast sidearm pitcher for 4 innings(graham arnold) and then you get another sidearmer for two innings(popa)….almost identical
@@learningvideosbynikhil8308 I think he has fixed one issue that Arnold had which was an inexhaustible faith in underperforming players to the point his starting XI's were very predictable. He is willing to change things up selection wise. We did need that imo. However his overall approach so far - Exactly what he does at club level - carried on the problems. We're solid defensively, but cannot create and the teams we play are happy to get a draw against us. A perfect recipe for some of the direst games to watch in AFC. 😂
Tony Popovic is 100% Australia version of Sean Dyche or Sam Allardyce in the prem. The guy You call to make trash survive and bring stability. But with this national team it doesn't feel like he was the right guy to bring in. Just a note on Mooy have to remember he was in competition with Shinji Ono for that creative spot.
I’m Japanese, so I often watched Celtic’s matches because they have many Japanese players. One of my favorite players was Aaron Mooy, so I was saddened to hear about his retirement. He wasn’t particularly agile or fast-paced, but if he hadn’t retired and had been selected for the current Australian national team, I’m sure he would have been a great asset, even if his compatibility with the coach wasn’t perfect.
As a Chinese fan the reason why Wu Lei wasn't playing is because he is injured; Ivankovic would have started him alongside Zhang in Bahrain and Japan if he was actually healthy. Although I am not sure if a healthy Wu Lei would even fit into Ivankovic's tactics now because of the physicality required.
The coach of Indonesia, Shin Tae Yong, knew a lot about Herve Renard. He coached South Korea in the 1-3 loss to us back in 2018, when Renard was still our coach, before masterminded South Korea to a heroic 2-0 win over Germany to boot out the Germans from the race in Russia. Saudi media underestimated Shin too much, I read many of their pre-match reports and it was so shocking to see how they downplayed Shin and overhyped Renard. This was the recipe of catastrophe for Saudi Arabia. This 2-0 loss to Indonesia demonstrated clearly that Renard's predictable strategy has been revealed. He is truly obsessed with high tempo pressing, but it does not have the elements of surprise used to be. And he is clearly struggling to adjust it. Indonesia's similar high tempo playing throughout the first sixty minutes weakened Saudi Arabia's resolve and contributed to their malaise. But given Saudi Arabia's current nature of their national team this time around, I cannot imagine how can they perform, even if they somehow qualify for the World Cup. They have grossly underestimated every opponent due to their obsession with the 2-1 comeback win over Argentina, except for Bahrain due to their cultural ties with them. Ironically, their two losses were against Japan and Indonesia in situations deemed favourable for the Saudis.
There's something that I'm as Indonesian have today, but never in my 43 years of living. That is "HOPE". we normalize being lost. We normalize saying "well... they're all above us" at every losing match. Even we can normalize losing by our neighbors, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. So if today, indonesian hype are over the roof, it's simply because we can DREAM. we can HOPE. a dream that i cannot dare to dream, i'm not even dare to dream on my wildest and wettest dreams. Qualifying to World Cup.
From UAE, Suhail's father was a good defender at Al Sharjah club for many years, it's crazy how his son became the almost the most important strikers for UAE now lol, and his name pronounced: Su-ha-il 😁.
I am Swedish Chechen but I have lived in Australia for three years before going back to Stockholm, so I know that Aussies are not the types of people who can give up in such a dark situation. But the amount of lucky moments Australia got since October were insane, not seen in the two previous WCQs when they only got the best out in the playoff end. I would not bring much about the detail about Popovic, since we have just also changed coaches (Janne Andersson to Jon Dahl Tomasson) and need times to adjust completely - the 2026 WCQ in Europe is about to come and we have to see if Tomasson is our right choice or not. Regard to our Aussie friends here. You were really riding on the luck at the horseback because of the instabilities of the others. Indonesia, China, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia are clearly too unstable, which is why you have kept the second place since October. But you need to change quickly.
It's extremely hard for me to watch our Green Falcons at the moment. As a Saudi American, I am wondering if our players are more interested in watching Hollywood movies or something else. Our campaign is a total disaster so far and we have been highly inconsistent. We cannot capitalise from Australia's crisis. We have already had enough troubles with Roberto Mancini, but Herve Renard doesn't seem to have made major innovation. He looks like someone else, not like the Renard we used to know in the first term. He is more pale, difficult, and struggling to find the solution. We brought him here because he is still attached to us, but our November matches were a disgrace, we failed to take up chances and we even let Indonesia to slap us. We have now had four straight matches without scoring. We have only three goals, the lowest of all 18. We have won none after three home matches and we had already picked up an away defeat. There is no cohesion among our players; both goals conceded to Japan, China and Indonesia could have been avoided. The level of dysfunction is insane. We have the Gulf Cup Khaleej incoming and I hope it will offer a glimpse to fix our games. But I am not confident. We have March calendar against China and Japan, but given China had even scored against Japan, something we couldn't do at home, it's depressing and worrying. Overcoming Japan is clearly 99% impossible. If we are dropping points to China again, like what happened to our Bahraini brothers to the Chinese, it's hard to imagine how would our campaign be like.
Bow now, to see how us, the brave White Wolves, who should have debuted in the 2006 FIFA World Cup, are now coming to beat you and your cousins' (Bahrain and Qatar) cheating strategies. The debt of 2006 will be settled, by the will of God.
Yes deadball said it right its pronounced SU-HAIL, also the issue with bento is he used to pick players that dont get time with their club, this is the first 2 games he picked right and in march we would finally have a proper center forward caio lucas so we hopefully have a chance
UAE didn't play well against North Korea because they didn't start with the best line-up. Same goes with the games against Iran and Uzbekistan. UAE didn't start with the best players...the best players were on the bench. The fans were all unhappy hence there weren't many fans in attendance during the Krgyzstan game. But the last two matches Bento put the best line-up and learned from previous mistakes.
Indonesia will take 7 points in the remaining 4 matches (winning against Bahrain and China at home and holding a draw against Australia away) gaining a total of 13 points to occupy 2nd place, my brother, and positions 3-6 will be followed by Australia (12) and Saudi Arabia (11 ) Bahrain (8) and China (8) 😊👍🔥
As a Qatar fan we have been underperforming but I believe we can come back we’ve done it before like how we bounced back after the 2022 World Cup. The defense is the issue, Barsham has made mistakes but it’s brutal since he’s facing so many shots every game that shouldn’t be happening. I believe we can still make it.
Hello.. How are you before the start of the qualifiers? One of you belittled the Kuwaiti team and said that this team is very bad and will not get four points.. Well, we have reached the sixth round and we now have four points 😉
If you remember, a couple of videos age you once said that Iranians seem to never be happy with their national team; Well this was because We saw these days coming!
As a Qatar fan its hard to watch our country fall off these past months, but if our defenders come out of injury and we put up a good preformance in the khaleej cup, we are qualifying in 2nd mark my words.
You are still watching the best generation in your history and considering the countrie's size, it's not inconcievable for the national team to revert to what it used to be in the future, so enjoy this generation and it's sucesses even if it doesn't look that amazing right now
@@KelinciMerah-o6r big dream is okay, but also be okay of losing. If you can accept both scenario, you'll be fine. Most people unhappy because they are hoping for the star but forget that they can also end up in a mud. 😅
I am Uzbek and I am going to say that I don't like seeing Saudi Arabia, Indonesia and Bahrain advancing. Saudi Arabia and Bahrain... well, we have long memories of the robbed 2006 WCQ. And Indonesia? Their lack of respect for other teams, don't forget how they used swear words when their U23 side lost to us 0-2. But hey, I think we need to correct Srecko Katanec's works. He has a lot of problems to deal with.
China's win over indonesia was indonesian mistake for not playing the top players. But somebody said china are planning to naturalise more players. You guys should consider future naturalised players addition. The teams keep changing
Hell no. Chinese football can only improve this way. The amount of corruptness and high spending in domestic league is behind Chinese football. In the last two Chinese games, Branko Ivankovic played a starting eleven with 0 naturalised players and we got the win away against Bahrain.
You didn't talk about the 2 best defense in round 3, which is Japan and Iraq ! Iraq had 5 clean shots in 5 games out of 6 🔥 and mark my word. Iraq will qualify as the top of group B 🇮🇶🔥
If only there was no drama of Bahrain stealing the score in their stadium with thanks to the help of the 12th player aka the bastard referee from Oman, the story would be very different. ‼️ Thank you to the Australian players.. for making Bahrain feel what Indonesia felt.. even though what they experienced was not a theft because the last goal happened in the final minutes.. *90+10 >> final goal in the 90+6 minute* is not equal: *90 +6 >> final goal in 90+10 minutes*
If you think china is good because loose 3-1 to japan, indonesia also got same score in asian cup with the worst squad. Football is not math. But somehow, i belive china can finish 2 or 3rd place, but the problem with china is consistency, they can flop in last minute😅
Worst squad?? Yeah somehow ur squad is completely different now. Literally. Eliminate local players and get players from Netherlands. If u insult ur local players by saying them “worst squad”, I’ll keep saying this.
@Myamamma but you dont catch up my last poin in last paragraph. I more optimize china can sit in 2nd place more than indonesia, because they already got 2win and meet japan
Yes, UAE team is bad! But not as bad as Qataris team. Both teams must rebuild their "national" teams with more Brazilians. I wonder why they don't do it! They have the money to get eleven quality players, and the Brazilians don't have to actually live in UAE and Qatar. They can show up only to play in "national" games.
It's funny Dutch-descendants players who've grown up with Cruyff's total football roots, are now by Shin Tae-yong being told to play counterattack like Mourinho at Madrid, relying only on pragmatism and individual skills... It's ridiculous
It just Verdonk hell yeah?? Next Kevin Diks, Mees Hilgers, Pascal Struijk, Jairo Riedewald, Ole Romeny, Milliano Jonathans will be another Verdonk, so Indonesia have 11 Verdonk when they play And Emil Audero also as Maarten Paes subs
Indonesian dream XI GK : Maarten Paes LB : Calvin Verdonk CB : Mees Hilgers, Jay Idzes, Pascal Struijk RB : Kevin Diks MF : Thom Haye, Jairo Riedewald AM : Marselino Ferdinand FW : Ole Romeny, Milliano Jonathans
@Nama-rz8kv belanda keberatan ada van dijk, de ligt, nathan ake, van de ven, de vrij yang Grade S Yang Grade A aja gak kepake kayak Schuurs, Beukema, Botman, St Juste, Rensch Apalagi pascal???
When I commented last time, I was told by my compatriots not to be arrogant. So this time, I’ve decided to approach my comment with humility. In the match between Indonesia and Australia, I predict a 2-0 victory for Indonesia. Here are my reasons: Tony Popovic’s Australia is strong when it comes to parking the bus, but they are extremely weak in attack. In contrast, Indonesia is a well-balanced team with the offensive power that dominated Saudi Arabia and the defensive reliability of Maarten Paes. Because of this, Australia will have very few scoring opportunities and will likely be pushed back just like Saudi Arabia was. Moreover, the news that striker Ole Romeny will be joining the team in March adds another layer of despair for Australia. I can’t wait to see the kangaroos crushed by the might of the Garuda. As for my final score predictions: • Indonesia vs. Australia: 2-0 • Indonesia vs. Bahrain: 3-0 • Indonesia vs. China: 4-0 • Indonesia vs. Japan: 1-0 These predictions are quite realistic, and I believe you’ll find them reasonable too.
bro your comments are always so funny. i already gave you my pridictions from last comment, but I dont mind saying them again. As for my final score predictions: • Indonesia vs. Australia: 0-2 • Indonesia vs. Bahrain: 2-1 • Indonesia vs. China: 1-1 • Indonesia vs. Japan: 0-2 These predictions are quite realistic, and I believe you’ll find them reasonable too.
The last 12 home match of Group C Japan point 16 : Vs Bahrain Vs Saudi Vs Indonesia Australia 7 point : Vs Indonesia Vs Japan Indonesia 6 point : Vs Bahrain Vs China Saudi 6 point : Vs Australia Vs China Bahrain 6 point : Vs Saudi China 6 point : Vs Australia Vs Bahrain We can assume that every host wins and whoever the against Japanese is will definitely lose or draw Group C : 1. Japan 16 point + 9 point win at home + 1 point draw in Australia Total 26 points 2. Indonesia 6 point + 6 point win at home Total 12 points. (*) 3. Saudi 6 point + 6 point win at home Total 12 point 4. Bahrain 6 point + 6 point win at home Total 12 points 5. China 6 point + 6 point at home Total 12 points 6. Australia 7 point + 4 point at home. Total 11 points. So, do you aggree ? ,

Our campaign is a total disaster so far and we have been highly inconsistent. We cannot capitalise from Australia's crisis. We have already had enough troubles with Roberto Mancini, but Herve Renard doesn't seem to have made major innovation. He looks like someone else, not like the Renard we used to know in the first term. He is more pale, difficult, and struggling to find the solution. We brought him here because he is still attached to us, but our November matches were a disgrace, we failed to take up chances and we even let Indonesia to slap us. We have now had four straight matches without scoring. We have only three goals, the lowest of all 18. We have won none after three home matches and we had already picked up an away defeat. There is no cohesion among our players; both goals conceded to Japan, China and Indonesia could have been avoided. The level of dysfunction is insane.
We have the Gulf Cup Khaleej incoming and I hope it will offer a glimpse to fix our games. But I am not confident. We have March calendar against China and Japan, but given China had even scored against Japan, something we couldn't do at home, it's depressing and worrying. Overcoming Japan is clearly 99% impossible. If we are dropping points to China again, like what happened to our Bahraini brothers to the Chinese, it's hard to imagine how would our campaign be like.
Bow now, to see how us, the brave White Wolves, who should have debuted in the 2006 FIFA World Cup, are now coming to beat you and your cousins' (Bahrain and Qatar) cheating strategies. The debt of 2006 will be settled, by the will of God.
youre more tactical with mancini. But when u back to herve renard its back to physical play
@@fadlyjun7297 Renard is not a genius tactician. He is strong at man management, but as a tactic maker, no.
Ronaldo effect
Yes deadball said it right its pronounced SU-HAIL, also the issue with bento is he used to pick players that dont get time with their club, this is the first 2 games he picked right and in march we would finally have a proper center forward caio lucas so we hopefully have a chance
Caio does not fit the team as a striker he is more of a winger, I think we should wait for Sultan Adil to come back from injury
@@Unknown63777 he played as a striker this season and has good stats also camara can play that position too
To be clear Arnold wasn't sacked. Still I see your point ... both are very conservative managers ... this is definitely a player issue (esp at front).
UAE didn't play well against North Korea because they didn't start with the best line-up. Same goes with the games against Iran and Uzbekistan. UAE didn't start with the best players...the best players were on the bench. The fans were all unhappy hence there weren't many fans in attendance during the Krgyzstan game. But the last two matches Bento put the best line-up and learned from previous mistakes.
I hope you will discuss about the AFC new plan about nations league. I'm really curious about your opinion about those plan 😅🙏
Enjoy listening nice explain ❤
36:39 the issue is the coach, Ghalenoeeii doesn’t know what to do with the second half
Indonesia will take 7 points in the remaining 4 matches (winning against Bahrain and China at home and holding a draw against Australia away) gaining a total of 13 points to occupy 2nd place, my brother, and positions 3-6 will be followed by Australia (12) and Saudi Arabia (11 ) Bahrain (8) and China (8) 😊👍🔥
Ngarep 😂
Jangan sombong… Tiyonkok aja kalah kemarin…
Klo mau termotivasi dan optimis, kayanya susunan kata2nya mesti diubah. Soalnya dr kalimatnya malah terkesan jumawa dan ngeremehin negara lain
Grup ini selain jepang gak ada yg konsisten
It's more likely a lost at Australia away for indonesia, but makes sense for the 6 points at home.
Guys
What do u think honestly about result for upcoming match
Uzbekistond qirgiston
Iron Uzbekistan
Uae Uzbekistan
Uzbekistan Qatar
Uzbekistan 2 - 0 Kyrgyzstan
Iran 2 - Uzbekistan 1
UAE 0 - Uzbekistan 1
Uzbekistan 0 - Qatar 0
40:56 One of the elite 4... I see what you did there
Finally someone appreciates that
As a Qatar fan we have been underperforming but I believe we can come back we’ve done it before like how we bounced back after the 2022 World Cup. The defense is the issue, Barsham has made mistakes but it’s brutal since he’s facing so many shots every game that shouldn’t be happening. I believe we can still make it.
Qatar need change the coach
uae jumping saudi in the power rankings is huge bro, i cant wait to see how far qatar fall too lol
China in the drivers seat having played Japan twice or to close to call still?
They might be! It depends on how they do away from home but they might be
As Indonesian who watched Australian directly, they are goood…
The most consistent is Calvin Verdonk
Hello.. How are you before the start of the qualifiers? One of you belittled the Kuwaiti team and said that this team is very bad and will not get four points.. Well, we have reached the sixth round and we now have four points 😉
drop the conmebol reactions plssss 🙏🏼
If you remember, a couple of videos age you once said that Iranians seem to never be happy with their national team; Well this was because We saw these days coming!
Iran-UAE 2:0
North Korea-UAE 1:1
UAE-Uzbekistan 1:1
Kirghizistan-UAE 2-2
I think it should be
Iran 3 UAE 1
North Korea 2 UAE 2
UAE 2 Uzbekistan 1
Kyrgyzstan 1 UAE 3
What I'm surprised is North Korea who has FA and League as FIFA compulsory in their introvert country and they manage the 3rd round of WC Qualifiers 😂
Iraq 🦅🦅
As a Qatar fan its hard to watch our country fall off these past months, but if our defenders come out of injury and we put up a good preformance in the khaleej cup, we are qualifying in 2nd mark my words.
Karma is real bro
Yall are frauds. Bought the Asian Cup. Guess you didn't pay for the refs for WCQs.
You are still watching the best generation in your history and considering the countrie's size, it's not inconcievable for the national team to revert to what it used to be in the future, so enjoy this generation and it's sucesses even if it doesn't look that amazing right now
Everyone forgets about how important Hassan Al Haydos was
@@jshawney3355dominated 2019 and had a great run in to the 2024 final, Jordan made 3 horrible fouls in the box where was the robbery?
Support Indonesia 🇮🇩
to indonesia fans, dont to much put high expectation otherwise, you got spank by china or bahrain :)
Is it wrong to dream big for the world cup?
Moreover, passion for football for Indonesia is like a religion.
We'll see where the end point is.
@@KelinciMerah-o6r low expectation, make you happier ma friend
@@KelinciMerah-o6r big dream is okay, but also be okay of losing. If you can accept both scenario, you'll be fine. Most people unhappy because they are hoping for the star but forget that they can also end up in a mud. 😅
インドネシアは、中国とバーレーンよりワールカップ出場の可能性があると思う。
The Bahrain neglect is real 😢
Saudi arabia has turns from the green falcon into green pigeon... 😂
I am Uzbek and I am going to say that I don't like seeing Saudi Arabia, Indonesia and Bahrain advancing. Saudi Arabia and Bahrain... well, we have long memories of the robbed 2006 WCQ. And Indonesia? Their lack of respect for other teams, don't forget how they used swear words when their U23 side lost to us 0-2.
But hey, I think we need to correct Srecko Katanec's works. He has a lot of problems to deal with.
It’s not swear words dude I think it was just passion that spilled over!😂 They know you guys are very good!
@@learningvideosbynikhil8308 Passion spill over? Is this why they become xenophobic, paranoid and megalomaniac?
@@learningvideosbynikhil8308 Ah yes, We DoNt Do AnYtHiNg WrOnG because It WaS jUsT aN aCcIdEnT. Very typical Indonesian way.
It’s pronounced su-hail. However, we call him by his first name Ha-reb.
China's win over indonesia was indonesian mistake for not playing the top players. But somebody said china are planning to naturalise more players. You guys should consider future naturalised players addition. The teams keep changing
Hell no. Chinese football can only improve this way. The amount of corruptness and high spending in domestic league is behind Chinese football. In the last two Chinese games, Branko Ivankovic played a starting eleven with 0 naturalised players and we got the win away against Bahrain.
No , Shin Tae Yong implemented the wrong game strategy.
It's Mab-Khout NOT Mak-bout
Why many people reverse the letters?
You didn't talk about the 2 best defense in round 3, which is Japan and Iraq ! Iraq had 5 clean shots in 5 games out of 6 🔥 and mark my word. Iraq will qualify as the top of group B 🇮🇶🔥
Bahrain Karma 90+6 😂😂
Green pigeons😂😂😂😂😂
❤❤❤
If only there was no drama of Bahrain stealing the score in their stadium with thanks to the help of the 12th player aka the bastard referee from Oman, the story would be very different. ‼️
Thank you to the Australian players.. for making Bahrain feel what Indonesia felt.. even though what they experienced was not a theft because the last goal happened in the final minutes..
*90+10 >> final goal in the 90+6 minute*
is not equal:
*90 +6 >> final goal in 90+10 minutes*
Is the best still in group C
🇯🇵🇳🇿🇮🇩🇸🇦🇧🇭🇨🇳
watch ,i ran can beat japan too,no team in asia can be over team iran
I watch a lot of channels jusl like you . I think only differnce is their editing, and I think you should improve it😐😐😐😐
can you pin this comment

If you think china is good because loose 3-1 to japan, indonesia also got same score in asian cup with the worst squad. Football is not math. But somehow, i belive china can finish 2 or 3rd place, but the problem with china is consistency, they can flop in last minute😅
Worst squad?? Yeah somehow ur squad is completely different now. Literally.
Eliminate local players and get players from Netherlands. If u insult ur local players by saying them “worst squad”, I’ll keep saying this.
@Myamamma idk words in english to say more worst, other than thats word. But im not trying to insult
@Myamamma but you dont catch up my last poin in last paragraph. I more optimize china can sit in 2nd place more than indonesia, because they already got 2win and meet japan
It's worse bro not worst, worst mean "terburuk", Indonesian squad in AFC Asian Cup is not the worst squad tho
"ST" itu paling/ter kalo kata kata pake st diakhirnya itu untuk paling pertama dalam hal tersebut, contohnya best, strongest.Terbaik,dan terkuat.
You did not tallk about Iraq a lot we have the second best divence in AFC qualification team after Japan.
Stop teasing us and drop the conmebol reactions
Yes, UAE team is bad! But not as bad as Qataris team. Both teams must rebuild their "national" teams with more Brazilians. I wonder why they don't do it! They have the money to get eleven quality players, and the Brazilians don't have to actually live in UAE and Qatar. They can show up only to play in "national" games.
Indonesia new king in asia 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
AFC a lot Mafia 😂😂😂
Fact: Iraq will play two matches in Jordan, the first with Palestine and the second with Jordan
Bahrain + refree vs Indonesia
Indonesia with white kit: Mourinho's Madrid with crazy counter-attack
Indonesia with red kit: Manchester United
It's funny Dutch-descendants players who've grown up with Cruyff's total football roots, are now by Shin Tae-yong being told to play counterattack like Mourinho at Madrid, relying only on pragmatism and individual skills... It's ridiculous
It just Verdonk hell yeah??
Next Kevin Diks, Mees Hilgers, Pascal Struijk, Jairo Riedewald, Ole Romeny, Milliano Jonathans will be another Verdonk, so Indonesia have 11 Verdonk when they play
And Emil Audero also as Maarten Paes subs
Indonesian dream XI
GK : Maarten Paes
LB : Calvin Verdonk
CB : Mees Hilgers, Jay Idzes, Pascal Struijk
RB : Kevin Diks
MF : Thom Haye, Jairo Riedewald

FW : Ole Romeny, Milliano Jonathans
Pascal masi nunggu Belanda dalam waktu dekat hampir gamungkin pilih Indonesia
@Nama-rz8kv belanda keberatan ada van dijk, de ligt, nathan ake, van de ven, de vrij yang Grade S
Yang Grade A aja gak kepake kayak Schuurs, Beukema, Botman, St Juste, Rensch
Apalagi pascal???
@Rxlj7 ya kan dia tetep memperjuangkan dia ga menyerah begitu aja kaya kevin dulu. Dia juha katanya nolak Belgia demi Belanda
When I commented last time, I was told by my compatriots not to be arrogant. So this time, I’ve decided to approach my comment with humility.
In the match between Indonesia and Australia, I predict a 2-0 victory for Indonesia. Here are my reasons:
Tony Popovic’s Australia is strong when it comes to parking the bus, but they are extremely weak in attack. In contrast, Indonesia is a well-balanced team with the offensive power that dominated Saudi Arabia and the defensive reliability of Maarten Paes. Because of this, Australia will have very few scoring opportunities and will likely be pushed back just like Saudi Arabia was.
Moreover, the news that striker Ole Romeny will be joining the team in March adds another layer of despair for Australia. I can’t wait to see the kangaroos crushed by the might of the Garuda.
As for my final score predictions:
• Indonesia vs. Australia: 2-0
• Indonesia vs. Bahrain: 3-0
• Indonesia vs. China: 4-0
• Indonesia vs. Japan: 1-0
These predictions are quite realistic, and I believe you’ll find them reasonable too.
Parah 💀🗿
You Indonesians are delusional as usual 🤣
That prediction is realistic if we have a big fat luck 😂
Lets activate our 2nd place curse!
😂😂😂 I want to agree, but with Japan ??? Uh.. not happening
bro your comments are always so funny. i already gave you my pridictions from last comment, but I dont mind saying them again.
As for my final score predictions:
• Indonesia vs. Australia: 0-2
• Indonesia vs. Bahrain: 2-1
• Indonesia vs. China: 1-1
• Indonesia vs. Japan: 0-2
These predictions are quite realistic, and I believe you’ll find them reasonable too.
The last 12 home match of Group C
Japan point 16 :

We can assume that every host wins and whoever the against Japanese is will definitely lose or draw
Group C :
1. Japan 16 point + 9 point win at home + 1 point draw in Australia
Total 26 points
2. Indonesia 6 point + 6 point win at home
Total 12 points. (*)
3. Saudi 6 point + 6 point win at home
Total 12 point
4. Bahrain 6 point + 6 point win at home
Total 12 points
5. China 6 point + 6 point at home
Total 12 points
6. Australia 7 point + 4 point at home.
Total 11 points.
So, do you aggree ?

Ah yes, the outcome... which is an Indonesian fantasy, lol. For all of the sudden, Australia and China should qualify, but no to Indonesia.
Yes, that's just my assumption
all the hosts want to win
But Japan is too good.
