      As a Thai, we had hopes for this game but still China is better on paper and also in game. If we don’t get results away at China then we’re fucked.

    It’s surprising to me that Myanmar are actually playing considering they’re literally going through a fresh new civil war rn

      Afghanistan has a government that no country recognizes, Afghanistan is playing too.

    With Iraq finally playing again in their home soil, which are the teams that still have to play their home matches in neutral ground?

    Syria, Yemen, Palestine and Afghanistan?

    I was shocked by the difference between the physicality of the Aussies and our players. Not even talking about the quality of the players. It was like a bunch of 5 footers playing against 7 footers. Reminded me how important physicality is in this game.

      Physicality is a really big issue lacking for south asian teams. Idk if it’s just genetics or their lifestyle but unless they solve this issue, they can only dream of playing in the world cup

        It’s genetics, even a couple of decades ago malnutrition was a big issue here. The average height for men in Bangladesh is 5 feet 5/6 inches, that’s just too low for football.

    I can’t believe I’m saying this but that 4-0 to Saudi really flatters them.
