World Cup Qualification Thread for 2026 - Socceroos/Asia

Think our front 3 need to press like hell before we start subbing. China with too much time on ball. This game is far from over.
 
Good one Maty. Consider this a warning shot. Great tackle Teague.

Hill is right this is an unsurprising China response but we ought to get some more control.
not sure having 3+ odd corners and more possession is uninspiring by them.

This reminds me of the pressure CCM put Victory under before they went on to win the AL GF. Popovic let them sit back too early. I hope he doesn't make the same mistake here.
 
Still too many different calculations about this Saudi game. 2 Added. Clock racing. Surely Japan will just wind down.
 
We're just aimlessly bombing now. I feel like the midfielders and inverted forwards are no longer pressing or presenting as they were. We'll see subs soon.
 
Saudi draw just means they can't emulate Australia's Japan result as it stands. They'll need a gap of 2 points or fewer as our GD is far superior.

The subs suggest Japan are going for it.

Don't think the point changes much given we play Saudi at the end. More so we could've lost to Japan while they draw with Bahrain. That result now would mean a 2 point gap giving Saudi a chance. Basically we need to emulate Saudi's result in Bahrain and GD is enough.
 
Honestly Bahrain may just sneak up themselves. Indonesia Bahrain game must end a draw to put a few permutations to rest.
