On March 24, in the 9th round of the World Cup qualifier Round of 12, Japan defeated Australia 2-0 away from home, and Sanji played a good show in the 89th and 94th minutes, and Japan qualified for the 7th consecutive World Cup final. In this way, Group B has reached a grand finale, and Saudi Arabia and Japan have advanced to the Qatar World Cup in advance, and the ranking has not yet been determined. Australia will play in the play-offs, with Oman, China and Vietnam out early.
In addition to the finale of Group B, the situation in Group A is that Iran and South Korea have locked up the promotion quota, and the final ranking has not yet been determined. The only suspense is which team will win the play-offs, currently the third is the 9-point United Arab Emirates, the fourth is the 6-point Lebanon, the fifth is the 5-point Iraqi team, these three teams will compete for the last play-off place in the Asian zone of the World Preliminary Round, against Australia.
So now the remaining suspense in addition to the final ranking of each team, 4 teams to qualify for the World Cup, the next biggest suspense is which team is the third place in Group A, the team that wins the play-off will play against the "Kangaroo Army" Australia, and the winner between the two sides will compete against the south American team to compete for a place to advance to the World Cup.
Of course, the four teams that qualify for the World Cup still have a task, and the higher-ranked teams have seeded teams in the World Cup draw in April, so for Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia and Iran, who have already qualified for the World Cup, their next goal is to strive for a higher ranking.
For the national football team, it is also influential, because the Japanese team defeated the Australian team, so this evening's opponent of the national football team, Saudi Arabia, directly advanced to the World Cup finals, which is equivalent to no pressure to "win before qualifying", which is beneficial to the national football team coached by Li Xiaopeng. The opponent's willingness to fight is certainly not as good as before, after all, the Saudi team is now also celebrating the successful promotion to the World Cup.
I also look forward to the performance of the national football team this evening, and strive to score points on the Saudi team and prove my strength after the Chinese football storm some time ago. The match between the national football team and saudi arabia is kicked off at 11:00 pm, and the performance of the Chinese players is also expected.
