They are followed by five teams that were eliminated early. Taipei have lost all four of their matches and are now six points behind Malaysia in third place, even after two consecutive wins in June, it has become meaningless. Like Turkmenistan, Hong Kong, China scored one point in four matches and were crushed by Iran and Uzbekistan, both of whom are out of the tournament. Pakistan and Nepal have also scored zero points from four matches, both of which are typical scoring boys, and even if they win the last two rounds, they will only finish third in the group and decide to miss the last 18 matches.
Next we'll focus on 7 teams, most of whom have already accumulated 7 points or more. A win in the next round will hopefully ensure their advancement. In particular, the Chinese men's soccer team can finish second in the group if they get another three points in Thailand in June. If they can beat South Korea in the cold, they might even finish first in the group. Of course, they should fulfill the harsh conditions of South Korea's loss to Singapore.
It is worth mentioning that the national soccer team still has an extreme case, that is, theoretically possible, the remaining two games, even if the failure can still be advanced, the analysis is as follows: the penultimate round, the national soccer team lost to Thailand, Thailand points rose to 7 points, the national soccer team, South Korea defeated Singapore, South Korea advanced to 13 points, Singapore points only 1 point, completely out. In the final round, the national soccer team lost to South Korea, the national soccer team still maintains 7 points, South Korea advances to 16 points. Thailand lost to Singapore, which still has 7 points, and Singapore moved up to 4 points. According to the rules, South Korea will qualify if the top two teams in the group qualify. Both the national soccer team and Thailand have 7 points and the two teams need to compare win-loss ratio, goal difference, red cards and yellow cards. In terms of win/loss ratio, the national team and Thailand have reversed each other's wins and losses, so they need to focus on goal difference. The national team only needs to dominate in terms of goal difference to overpower Thailand and advance to the group stage with South Korea!
Each of the remaining 14 teams still has the potential to advance, but the situation is complicated by the need to consider the results of multiple matches. The most typical is Group A. Qatar advanced with 12 points, India and Afghanistan with 4 points, and Kuwait with 3 points. They all retain hope of advancing. The outcome of any one game could change the standings of all three teams, making this arguably the most confusing group in the Asian qualifiers.
