On the front line of the game, it seems that Coach Ivankovic's wishful thinking can only rest on the shoulders of the naturalized players, Ackerson, Allan & Fernando. Alan, who has scored 5 goals in 14 rounds of the tournament, has been in dazzling form and is destined to pick up the slack in the team's offense. Fortunately, the national soccer team only has a slim 1-0 advantage in this campaign, so there's no need for too many goals. I sincerely hope that Alan and his teammates can show off their skills and help the national team to advance to the next round.
If the match ends in a draw or a narrow defeat (a blowout is unlikely), the national soccer team will be under a lot of pressure. Given that we will face South Korea in the final round, Thailand will have to deal with Singapore at home. Unsurprisingly, we could lose the South Korea matchup, while Thailand could soar against Singapore. In that case, the national team could be overtaken and end up missing out on second place in the group and having to prepare for the 2030 World Cup ahead of time. In order to keep a glimmer of hope of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the national football team will have to go all out to beat Thailand, otherwise the future will be full of variables!
