I personally also don't think that Indonesia can lose lots to Iraq, especially in terms of scoring points, but in terms of matches, I also think that Iraq has the potential to win because Iraq is a strong opponent because Iraq always enters the Worldcup.
but I have a prediction that Indonesia can recover because the next opponent is the Philippines, so in my opinion, if we play against the Philippines, there is great hope and potential that Indonesia will win, but this is a very tough match because the Philippines is also a tough opponent. but I predict that ShinTae-yong will also train the Indonesian national team to the maximum, of course with strategies that will be maximized. and I also read the news, namely that there was a reason why Indonesia lost, this is the news.

If Indonesia is successful, this will be huge achievement because they will have their first opportunity to play in real event at the 2026 World Cup.
Although later there will always be pressure from Iraq and Vietnam, which have quite good abilities in every match.
Meanwhile, for the match against the Philippines, I quite sure that Indonesia can win the match more easily and can at least save 3 points in the match.
Their match will take place tomorrow but will take place at the Rizal Memorial Stadium in the Philippines, and Indonesia should still be able to dominate the match even though it is home match for the Philippines.
A win with narrow score of 1 - 0 or 2 - 1 could certainly be a worthy result for Indonesia victory later.
We know the teams like Iraq and Indonesia can't have good performances in the World Cup compared to the many other teams and they just try to play in the World Cup to improve their team and have a better situation in fact this match was not bad for the Indonesian national team because now they know the weakness in the team and this can help Indonesia to improve themself for the next tournaments they are going to have soon.
