In the June 13th chronology, a fierce battle in the Top 40, South Korea reversed 2-1 to win over Lebanon, which is the potential opponent of our soccer team in the group stage table. After the battle, soccer commentator Chen Yong made an in-depth analysis of the national football team's road to promotion on his social media platform, and the national football team's exit seems to be a foregone conclusion.
Chen Yong said bluntly:
A detailed analysis of the chart is enough to reveal that the national football team out of the game is only a theoretical possibility.
Facing the duel with Syria, we must go all out for a fourth straight win, keep our confidence, gather the support of 12 million fans, and win the applause of the entire network.
(i) National football team is firmly on top of both groups
South Korea beat Lebanon 2-1 and the national soccer team is now firmly in second place in both groups, Lebanon and either Kyrgyzstan or Tajikistan in Group F. Lebanon currently has 10 points and a goal difference of 3, while the national soccer team has 10 points and a goal difference of 11. Unless the national soccer team loses 9 goals on net, there is no hope of going out of the tournament.
In Group F, if Tajikistan beats Myanmar and Kyrgyzstan doesn't win against Japan, Tajikistan will replace Kyrgyzstan as the second in the group with 10 points and a goal difference of -1, which is naturally not comparable to the national soccer team. If Kyrgyzstan stays second in the group, it will have only 7 points. The last match of the group will be played on June 15 at 18:25.
(ii) One team mistake, the national football team can easily advance
Currently, Group D (Uzbekistan), Group G (UAE), Group C (Iran), and Group B (Jordan) have points of 9, 9, 9, and 8, respectively.As long as one of them has problems, the national football team is still guaranteed to advance even with a narrow defeat (1-3 goals) against Syria.
(iii) Situation in other groups
[Group D Uzbekistan]
The group is complicated by the fact that Uzbekistan may beat Saudi Arabia and the group may not be topped by Yemen, a group that does not need much attention if Yemen beats Palestine.
[Group G UAE]
If the UAE beat Vietnam, Vietnam will finish second in the group with 11 points and a goal difference of two;
If the UAE draws with Vietnam, the UAE is at great risk with 10 points and a goal difference of just 5 goals;
If the UAE lose, they will still have only nine points and will most likely be eliminated.
[Group C, Iran]
Iran will claim first place in the group with a win over Iraq, while Iraq will reach 11 points with a loss;
A draw with Iraq would leave Iran with 10 points and a goal difference of 5 goals, making it extremely risky;
Iran will still only have 9 points if they lose and will most likely be eliminated.
[Group B Jordan]
Jordan have already locked up second place in the group and are currently on eight points, and only have any hope of progressing if they beat Australia, otherwise a draw or loss to the national football team will see them out of the tournament.
