The match almost ended disappointingly for Australia. They had a 1-0 lead in the first half and held on until the 74th minute. And the unexpected happened because in less than five minutes Bahrain managed to score two goals against Australia.

Australia failed to maintain its lead, several Australian defenders made blunders that left them one goal behind Bahrain. The drama carried out by Bahraini players continued to occur until time was wasted, but fortunately the referee gave a long additional time in this match, the referee gave an additional 10 minutes, in the last ten minutes Australia continued to increase the tempo of the game and in the 90+6 minute Australia finally equalized to 2-2. And both teams had to be willing to share points.

And Japan has indeed managed to win the match they played. And yes, it looks like Japan will really maintain the unbeaten record they currently have.

And currently the Bahrain vs Australia match is also taking place. And Australia was ahead from the first minute of the match thanks to a quick goal from Kusin Yengi in the 1st minute. And if Bahrain loses this match then Bahrain will temporarily be ranked at the bottom of Group C.
Until now, the Japanese national team still doesn't seem to really feel challenged when facing other teams in Group C. They always play quite relaxed in every match they play. But the important point for Japan is that they always don't underestimate any team they play. against. So that they always get maximum results. And the high level of discipline of the Japanese national team deserves to be appreciated. In terms of the bodies of the players, Japanese players are actually not that big and tall. But regarding speed I think they are always superior. So there is no need to be surprised if they continue to maintain their unbeaten record.

For the Bahrain vs Australia match, it seems like things have turned around. Because Bahrain is now ahead 2-1. And the match will soon be over because it has entered a minute of extra time. I am disappointed with the result of this match because I favored Australia in this match. With Bahrain's victory in this match, Bahrain's position will automatically move up to second place in Group C.

How in the world someone can hope to see Japan lose this match to get a draw?
We know Japan is one of the strongest teams in Asia and they are enough good players for their team. Also, they have good teamwork which made this team look much better than a team like Indonesia. I'm not saying Indonesia is a bad team and they are surely can try to get the best result in this match but don't forget Indonesia even lost the game against China while China was not in the good form.
Don't be too diplomatic, there's nothing wrong if you want to say Indonesia is the worst team, because that's the truth. Japan is ready with their best eleven, there's nothing need to worry for Japan, even they want to underestimate Indonesia or play with B class lineup, they still gonna win the match.

China is better than Indonesia though, they might don't have players who played in Europa, but they have chemistry, winning spirit and never give up.



In this group were are sure about Japan being in the 2026 World Cup because so far they were much better than the other teams. But I'm not sure about Australia and Saudi Arabia. Australia is not a bad team and they are always one of the best teams in Asia they could easily go to the World Cup but this time considering the money they spent in Saudi Arabia I think this will be hard for Australia to stay the second place of the table.
Recently Australia got a 0-0 result against Saudi Arabian and now both teams are very close.

Well actually that result should be the most reasonable. But because this is football and nothing should be underestimated. And now I can hardly believe it when I see Saudi Arabia trailing by 2 goals by Indonesia. Maybe Saudi Arabia still has a chance to equalize the score but I think that Indonesia's defense is strong enough to be penetrated in this match.


In another match, China looks like they will lose to Japan because the current score is quite different, namely 1-3 and I think Japan could increase their advantage in the ongoing match.
There are many problems experienced by the Indonesian national team squad in the last few matches and in this match they prove to their supporters, and at the same time this match determines whether Shin Tae-yong will stay or resign as coach, because of some bad results obtained by Indonesia and the strategy given by Shin Tae-yong which was too surprising in some of the players who were fielded, but apart from all that the results obtained tonight are really positive results that will change all that.

Regarding Japan, it seems that they are really serious about wanting to crush and record their record for being undefeated in this qualification, therefore several matches that they played were almost won by Japan.
The Indonesian national team is still not as solid as other national teams in the current Asian Zone World Cup qualifiers. Especially in the level of pass accuracy and level of ball possession which is not as good as other national teams. It's just that in terms of fighting spirit on the field, I am always truly amazed by the Indonesian national team. They fought very hard even though they were underestimated. And now they have proven they can cause a surprise by beating Saudi Arabia, who are clearly the favorites in the match. And Shin Tae-yong was able to smile broadly again thanks to the victory of the squad he coached.

And Japan has indeed managed to win the match they played. And yes, it looks like Japan will really maintain the unbeaten record they currently have.

And currently the Bahrain vs Australia match is also taking place. And Australia was ahead from the first minute of the match thanks to a quick goal from Kusin Yengi in the 1st minute. And if Bahrain loses this match then Bahrain will temporarily be ranked at the bottom of Group C.

This victory is a revival of the Indonesian national team after consecutive defeats in previous matches, Saudi Arabia is one of the strong teams in Asia but the maturity of the strategy applied by Shin Tae Yong in the match was able to overcome every attack built by Saudi Arabia, I think the solid defence of indonesia today is an important factor that made them win and different from their previous matches, ferdinand became the hero of indonesia victory today with scoring 2 goal in the match and I hope he can continue to maintain his performance in the next matchs, the first 3 points won by indonesia now makes them temporarily climb to position 3 of the group C standings.
The outcome of the game came as a surprise to me. Saudi Arabia is highly regarded in Asia and they were able to hold Australia to a draw in their last game. So it will be normal to expect them to at least get a draw from this game held in Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, Senayan, South Jakarta.

But we saw an Indonesian team that was hungry for victory. After mounting much pressure on the defense of the Green Falcons Marselino Ferdinan was able to break the get a goal in the 32nd minute, after his shot had hit the goalpost earlier. Garuda's squad kept dominating the game until they sealed their win with a second goal from the young Oxford United player.

With this win, Indonesia is now well-positioned to compete for a slot in the next qualification round.

20 years old Indonesian Ferdinand M who is playing for the Oxford United scored two goals in each half for his team to beat mighty Saudi Arab in qualifier for the World Cup 2026 this is first win for the Indonesia against Saudi Arab in 8 games with we have 5 wins for Saudi Arab and 2 draws before this game.



This win brings good chance for the Indonesia to have spot into Fourth Stage of the qualifiers for the World Cup 2026, and now we have not good chance for the Saudi Arab to have automatic qualification for the world cup Japan thrash China with score of 3–1 in busy day while we have too many games across Asia and Africa for the World Cup 2026.

Both of them played well and balanced. However the results are already full time where Indonesia won with a score of 2-0. Automatically Indonesia with this victory has given a little comfort because it is in third sequence even though it can change depending on the Bahrain vs Australia match which will be played in a matter of hours later.

For Indonesia, at least the match between Bahrain vs Australia is better to draw. If it draws, the Bahrain point will be the same as Indonesia which is 6 points. While Australia will get 7 points. The difference in points with Australia is still possible to continue to be pursued even though Indonesia must play an away match against Australia.

Indonesia has not won in the last 5 matches. Even in the last two matches, Indonesia lost against China and Japan. Moreover, the Indonesian team is not very strong. So in this match, I thought that I would see Saudi Arabia win. But the Indonesian team won the match 2-0.

Saudi Arabia players attacked a lot in this match. Probably, Saudi Arabia players made a total of 23 shots. But even then, Saudi Arabia could not score a single goal. There is no doubt that Indonesia's defenders and goalkeeper performed well in this match. Otherwise, Indonesia would have conceded several goals today.

Brazil and Argentina faced each other in two separate World Cup qualifiers match but the performances of these two teams were not very good. Brazil might have had the chance to win but their team striker Vinicius Junior missed a penalty and they were unable to win the match. On the other hand, Argentina was facing the Paraguayan football team at Paraguay's home ground. After watching the performance of the Argentine players in that match, I felt that they were uncomfortable, that is, they were under pressure.

It was unimaginable and unexpected for everyone that Argentina would lose to Paraguay in the FIFA World Cup qualifiers match. Since the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the Argentina football team has been performing brilliantly against the opposition in every match. Based on that it might have been expected by everyone that they would easily win the match against Paraguay but they could not do so.
To be fair I believe Argentina still played better, it didn't really feel like they were worse and I believe they had a chance to win as well. It was one of those games where they just got unlucky and that is why they lost, even the best teams end up having these kind of games and I believe this was one of those games. Qualifiers isn't always that easy, but it's clear that we are going to see Argentina go there without a doubt, we will not have Argentina-less World Cup, which would be weird but the way Brazil played recently we may see one without them and it wouldn't really be a big shock.

I believe we need to realize how tough it is in Latin America these days. Back in the day it was only Brazil and Argentina, nobody else really did anything, but these days we are seeing other teams playing a decent level as well and that is why it's not really that much of a shocking result neither. Hopefully, we could probably see them do fine and better results.

Japan is currently playing very well, today they were ahead against China and China could not beat Japan. On the contrary, today's match Japan team won 1-3, and Japan's strong attack is still going on. Japan has played well against every team in the past matches, previously they beat Indonesia and today they beat China, accordingly Japan team is very strong.
Japan's team is known to train with different mixed methods, and their team is renowned for having strong capacity and trust in each other. So, they support each other, studying each other's strengths and weaknesses on the field. This way, you complement your teammate's strength and weakness, making the team strong and enabling them to keep playing and winning.

The thing is they have consistently set the mark for themselves to always win games, so every season they work hard to maintain their record from previous leagues, ensuring they don't lose games or fall behind. I find this impressive and like a challenge for any team that will go against them.

I look forward to seeing what they'll achieve in this league. I always anticipate Japan's matches to see how they'll play out, as they seem to have set a standard of always wanting to win against tough opponents. I'm also waiting for them to face stronger opponents in the football arena – at least one or two stronger teams.

Advantage in what? just because their last match against Saudi Arabia was end in draw and it was played in Saudi Arabia's home, it doesn't mean an advantage in the upcoming match. They were just lucky, Saudi Arabia should have won that match and this match, Saudi Arabia will revenge them.

Let's predict the score, 1-0 favor on Saudi Arabia.

In this match, Saudi Arabia could not perform very well from the start, which is why they lost to Indonesia by 2 goals. Saudi Arabia could not make their attacks stronger compared to others, but Indonesia's attack was very strong and their defense was also very strong. In that case, Saudi Arabia tried to equalize the game despite attacking enough in today's match, but it could not succeed. However, it must be admitted that the players of the Indonesian team played very well in today's match and their strong attack brought them victory.

Saudi Arabia was dominate the match but Indonesia players were playing very discipline and Indonesia know Saudi Arabia also targetting win result and they will playing aggressive so that's why Indonesia players are more focus to strengthen their defense and Indonesia has attempts to used counter attack style and this strategy were successful to make Indonesia win over Saudi Arabia and this is the first time for Indonesia on their history to beat Saudi Arabia

On the other hand Japan can easily win from China and i think this predictable result because Japan as the strongest team in Group C so beating them seems near to impossible for other teams in this group and after this result i think Japan will be automatically to advances to world cup because the can collect 16 points from 6 matches

Well I think everyone must think the same as you, including me. Because I also never thought that I would see Indonesia winning by 2 goals when facing a big team like Saudi Arabia, which is one of the national teams that we often see at the World Cup. And it has a ranking that is very far from Indonesia. Well, this is a very happy surprise for those of us who support Indonesia.

But I have a slightly different view about Indonesian defense. Because actually Indonesia's defense is not that strong. It's just that the midfield and even the front line players sometimes help Indonesia's defense so that Indonesia's defense can continue to repel attacks from Saudi Arabia. And actually Saudi Arabia played very well, it's just that they haven't succeeded in making a good finish. Meanwhile, Indonesia very rarely attacks Saudi Arabia's defenses. But when Indonesia gets the opportunity to attack, Saudi Arabia's defense always seems overwhelmed. So the difference is only in the effectiveness of the attacks I think.
You are right that Indonesia's defense is not that strong, but because all the players always go back to help defend and this is what makes it difficult for Saudi Arabia to create good opportunities. And Saudi Arabia actually has many opportunities that could become goals. But they were unlucky because their shooting and heading accuracy was really not good in that match.

But I really felt nervous when Justin Hubner got a red card in the 89th minute. I really thought that things could turn around at the end of the match because Indonesia would be playing with 10 players. But well, Indonesia was lucky because they managed to defend well and kept the score unchanged until the end.

And now I'm watching the Palestine vs South Korea match. And I didn't expect this match to be quite exciting from the start. Because 2 goals have been scored since the 12th and 16th minutes. The score is currently tied at 1-1. and yes of course South Korea dominated this match very well.

A fairly common strategy is when a team that is not so favored faces a stronger team. We can see how Saudi Arabia dominates the match; they have many chances, including a shot that hits the crossbar. But Saudi Arabia has had quite a hard time breaking through Indonesia's goal this time.
A loss for Saudi Arabia when they were held to a draw at home, and they lost at Indonesia's home. Unfortunately, there was a little incident near the end of the match, with some events that I think were unnecessary.

If you are a Ronaldo fan, then you must have enjoyed his Overhead Kick in Portugal's match with Poland. Most people were saying that Ronaldo may be getting old to play for the 2026 World Cup but not many youngsters can score like this, the way he played yesterday. The match was an easy win for Portugal though as they won the match by 5 - 1 in the UEFA Nations League. It was a treat to watch a 39 year old with this athletic skills in action  Smiley



Ronaldo fans are all over the world and most people who doesn't like him will definitely like what he is doing in his old age and the number of goals he keeps getting and how he is scoring the goals without stress and struggling, in the game against Poland, he wasn't just playing because he is a good player but we saw he composed himself in the game assisting his team mates to score and also scoring a brace in the game. Ronaldo may be old to play in the 2026 world cup but he is going to use his experience to help his country to achieve good results even more than the countries that has a lot of young players.
