So how come we’re going to Chile? Is it of you make it past that stage of Asian cup?

 

[Kitwally]

Yep

 

[Quicky]

All the goals from the U17s 4-0 win vs Saudi Arabia.

 

[Quicky]

the list of players missing (see u23s thread) could probably beat the team we saw today. It was cool for that to be the case for the olyroos, now its true of the u20s

Isn't this the U23 thread?

Akol Akon looks like a gun and he is only 15

Absolutely. Convincing end product. You love to see it.

one less day to recover for them as well

Looks like the game has gone to Extra Time after 1:1 after 90

 

[ossi]

Going to penalties

Japanese won both coin tosses and chose for Iran to kick first.

Iran missed the first spot kick.

 

[verrelli]

Japan win the shoot-out 4-3! Dominated the match stats overall, so seem the deserved winners.

 

[JS96]

Japan it is. All a bonus really as we've made the WC and that was the primary goal. This will be great to gauge where we're at and Japan aren't with their vulnerabilities.

 

[ossi]

We will play Japan

 

[JS96]

Am expecting Japan next up but let's wait and see. Am I right that Australia haven't played Iran at all in U17, U20, U23 or Socceroos since the infamous game in '97?

There have been some games played between the countries. I think at this exact tournament maybe 2 versions ago? Wiki trawling will find them.

Ah yeah, you're right. We beat them 3-2 in group stage in 2023 U20 Asian Cup.
