♔ ♕ ♚ ♛ Australia U17/U20/U23 National Team Tournaments & Discussion Thread ♔ ♕ ♚ ♛

These U20s have the AFC blueprint. Shoot and they'll parry it into your path. This is how the big nations clear these mid level teams. A vs A then becomes a more standard match of football.
 
really conceded a lot of chances at the end there

also not really at the level I'd like to be in chance creation, but still a strong victory. More posession, more shots and, most importantly, more goals

will be interesting to watch whether china put kyrgistan to the sword

draw or kyrgistan result means we top the group I believe?

I think you’re right, because even if Kyrg win both of their next 2 games, we’d still finish top in the H2H tie breaker.

If China draw with Kyrg and beat us though, China would top the group.
 
Curious to see how much rotation we go with in the next game, as the first knock-out round game is actually the WCQ, so we may want to rest some boys for that.
 
Australia advance to next round. Now for the pathways.... Japan win group D and on other side. Australia probably to face Uzbekistan or SK if they win this group. Finish 2nd and it's Japan in the semis. All about getting to the semis to qualify for the WC.

Yeah I'm assuming we can at least draw against China. They are probably the best opponent tho
 
Australia has 6 points from 2 matches and is currently leading Group A. Let's analyze whether they could still fail to make the top 2 based on the tie-breaking criteria.

Scenario Where Australia Finishes Outside the Top 2:​

For Australia to drop out of the top 2, both China and another team would need to surpass them in points.

  1. China Wins Both Matches
    • If China beats Kyrgyzstan and Australia, they will have 9 points, overtaking Australia.
  2. Qatar Overtakes Australia on Tiebreakers
    • Qatar currently has 0 points but still has two matches left (vs. Kyrgyzstan and China).
    • If Qatar wins both matches, they will have 6 points, tying with Australia.
Now, let's apply the tiebreakers between Australia and Qatar if both finish on 6 points:

  • Head-to-head: Australia defeated Qatar 3-1, meaning Australia stays ahead of Qatar.
Since Qatar cannot overtake Australia if both finish on 6 points, Australia is guaranteed a top-2 finish regardless of the other results.

Final Conclusion:​

Australia has already secured a top-2 finish and qualification to the knockout stage.



ChatGPT Flawless :D Not!

Worth avoiding saudi so I'd like to win the group
 
Winning the group means Iran or Uzbekistan. Runner up means Saudi or Iraq.

Australia would face a group B opponent in the quarterfinals
 
Outfield players to have not appeared at all yet:
  • Herrington (CB)
  • Randazzo (Winger)
  • Memeti (Striker)
 
I only caught snippets of this but Quintal and Badolato look to be class players in this team, Bennie looks to have a great profile for a winger/wingback too.
 
Man just realised we have to face either Japan or south Korea, group c

That's weird thought we face group b
 
Regardless of whether we finish 1st or 2nd in group A, our quarter final will be against a group B team - Saudi, Iraq, North Korea or Jordan.
