The fire of the World Qualifying Tournament was rekindled at the time of the morning dew, and our soccer team beat Syria with an excellent 3-1 record, which was a good news. According to the exclusive disclosure of the Sports Weekly, Nie Weiping, the leading Go player in China, expressed his insights on the upcoming 12-team tournament in an interview with the media. He confessed that for the national football team to impact the World Cup, he only holds 20% confidence, he thinks that even with Japan and South Korea in the same game, can be a draw is not easy.
Nie Weiping further elaborated, "The national soccer team's hope of advancing is slim, with only a 20 to 25 percent chance. We are always at a disadvantage when we play against strong teams, and even when we face Japan, South Korea, Iran and Saudi Arabia, it is difficult to even guarantee a draw. If we can stay in the same group with Japan and South Korea and keep a draw, it is already a rare achievement."
Talking about the match between the national soccer team and Syria, Nie Weiping commented, "Syria did not send their main lineup for this match, if they play at full strength, can we keep the 3-1 victory? Maybe my prediction is too cautious, but I still expect the national soccer team to surprise us three months later."
The dust has now settled on the spots for the Top 12 and the draw will be unveiled on July 1st. (Information provided by Ebay Sports)
