In Group C the main reason to see a team like Indonesia have good sistion is not because of them having good performance but mostly they have a good position in the table because Indonesia is lucky. In this group, China is much weaker than were expecting to see from this team and they are not in good form at all while I was expecting to see China in the 2026 World Cup considering the investment they had and the last games we saw from this team.
Also, Saudi Arabia is not in good form and they even got their coach fired from this team because of the bad performance they had while Saudi Arabia had good investment for their team so far. These two teams helped Indonesia to get this place in the table otherwise they would not have any chance.

This time Indonesia is doing whatever they can to qualify for the tournament. Their national team is full of players of foreign origin (including Liberian origin Ronaldo Kwateh and players such as Rafael Struick, Maarten Paes, Sandy Walsh, Jay Idzes, Kevin Diks and Mees Hilgers, who were born in the Netherlands). And it is interesting that they got a Dutch coach as well. In cricket I have seen similar tactics, but this is the first time I am witnessing the same in international football.

Now we have nearly 10 weeks for having next qualification matches for the World Cup with Indonesia is having four games to play first will be against Australia away then we have against Bahrain at home third game is against China at home and last game against Japan in Japan.

At third spot currently with 6 points, and 6 points each for all four teams on 3rd to 6th mean things could be interesting but if they are able to win their two games then most chances we will have them in Fourth stage of which could be good for them but still not guaranteed for place in FIFA World Cup because we will have more teams which will give their best and things could be challenging their quality is good but still not as we needed for World Cup so they have to wait more and improve their game if they want to be spotted in this mega event.

We are sure that Japan and Australia are the two first teams in this group and Japan is safe in the first place and they have nearly got themselves already into the 2026 World Cup because there is a huge gap between Japan and the other teams. Currently, they have 16 points in 6 games and Australia got only 7 points which means there is no chance for Australia to take their place.
The other teams like Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain are all racing for the third place but I see more chances for Saudi Arabia because of the money they spent and the potential they have in this country, they can definitely have more chances than Indonesia.

Group C in the Asian World Cup qualifiers turned out to be the most complicated. Only Japan has secured a spot to move to the next round. Australia has seven points, one point higher than the other four teams. All the remaining five teams have almost equal chances to qualify. Based on past performances and ranking it would have been simple to predict that Australia would have gotten the next qualification ticket. But this is not the case now because they have not lived up to expectations. They have not lost any game but their point is suffering because of four draws and a single win.

The question here is whether Indonesia, or for that matter any of the other teams in Group C are performing better than Australia (apart from the Group toppers Japan). Indonesia and Saudi Arabia have lost matches they should have won, while Bahrain and China suffered heavy defeats recently (including China's 1-3 loss to Japan at home). In March, we have two rounds of matches. Australia will take on Indonesia and China. Qualification scenario will be somewhat clear after these matches.

I personally favor Australia to qualify directly alongside Japan. If we look at the opportunities, of course, we can see that all teams have opportunities, but looking at the performance, maybe we can see a team that has a better game. Although we might see a surprise in the remaining matches of this preliminary round. Indonesia is indeed the team that gave the most surprises, I think, holding Australia to a draw and beating Saudi Arabia. A result that might be quite difficult to predict.

If you closely look at the Group, maybe Australia has a higher tendency to qualify if they can at least win the remaining games. They will be meeting Japan which I guess they might not win but they can grab wins against Indonesia, China, and Saudi Arabia.

Japan is the dominating force in this, Group therefore let me predict that any team that can beat Japan in the next games has a greater chance of qualifying. And since China will not be meeting Japan again, they also have a higher chance of making it to the next round since other teams are in thesame level.

However, the results each of them gets in their next games will depend solely on how hard they have worked. Indonesia just had a new coach, which means they need to put their house in order before the next game on 20th March when they will meet Australia.

The last round of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers will restart very soon so all the National Teams that has not been doing well now is changing their coaches to new to qualify in the world cup. Eric Chelle from Mali was also recommended to be the head coach of the Nigerian Super Eagles after George Finidi losses about 2 or 3 games last year. So because not that, another coach was appointed as the head coach in the team to play in the Inter-continetal games (African Nations Cup) and the team performed incredible but they decided to bring in a new coach for the world cup so let see how it will go.

I feel this frequent changing coach for the super eagles may affect them in the nearest future because it means trying to get the players together and understudy them again, and this process is going to be a difficult one in that most of the international stars will not me readily available all the time for the new coach to have a first hand experience about them and be able to get to know how well to work with the, it would have been better they work with the coach who has already been giving them results already.

Any of the five teams from this group can qualify to the FIFA World Cup, unlike the case with other groups. I would still argue that given the schedule for the remaining matches, Australia has the most chances of qualifying directly. In case they can't get a direct qualification slot, then they may need to try their luck with the fourth round. Out of six teams in 4th round, top-two will again gain direct qualification. It doesn't end there. There is a fifth round, for the 3rd and 4th placed teams, and then a Inter-confederation play-off match.

As I mentioned in my post, Kluivert himself is Dutch, so he should not be having any problem with the inclusion of all these Dutch players. But the big question is whether Indonesia can qualify or not. Despite the increased number of slots for AFC region, the chances look dim. Japan has already secured their qualification from Group C with 16 points. Then we have Australia with 7 points and all the remaining teams (Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, China and Bahrain) with 6 points each.

Despite have much controversial for appointing Justin Kluivert as Indonesia teams head coach I think right replacement due majority of Indonesia squad from Dutch, its easily for Kluivert communicating with his players due lack communication under Shin Ta yong era. Communication is most important part for every national teams due Indonesia have naturalization many players from Dutch is right time for appointing manager from Dutch to make easily communicate each players.

Huge pressure for Indonesia team new manager Justin Kluivert get qualify to World Cup 2026, actually current standings position awhile not difficult yet for reaching the second place or playoff round position but Justin Kluivert must get faster adapt well if won't loss his position. I can't believing with Indonesian fans atmosphere if Justin Kluivert loss at the first match against Australia due its important match for qualifying to World Cup.

This controversy will continue to be discussed by many circles and some also think that this is Erick Thohir's strategy in appointing Patrick Kluivert as Shin Tae-yong's replacement as the coach of the Indonesian National Team, Only this tactic can convince Grade A players who have Indonesian descent to want to defend the Indonesian National Team, that's why Erick Thohir appointed Patrick Kluivert as the new coach of Indonesia because Patrick Kluivert's reputation is highly respected in the Netherlands, so surely young Grade A players who have Indonesian blood will be willing to accept to defend the Indonesian National Team.

Actually Patrick Kluivert is not alone, he invites several well-known staff and is familiar to the Dutch people there because the famous names that will be brought to help Patrick Kluivert have a very good record, namely Alex Pastoor and Denny Landzaat, these two people are no longer in doubt about their quality as coaches such as Alex Pastoor who has succeeded in bringing 3 clubs from Eredivisie 2 to promotion to division 1 and both will become the Indonesian National Team tacticians.

It's crazy how former players are willing to accept any job as a coach throughout the whole world when their career as a coach has been going South for a while.

But I suppose that even Indonesia is paying good money to convince those former stars to take on the job as a coach. That's why you can see some coaches who made themselves a great name as players coaching irrelevant nations and clubs anywhere in the world.

If you think about this decision, is it the right one that Indonesia made here? If a player was a great player and no doubt Kluivert was pretty good, but then afterwards mostly fails as a coach, does a nation like Indonesia need someone like him or should they try and get someone who made himself a respectable name as a coach too.

I am aware that it won't be easy for Indonesia to get one of the best names out there, but failed coaches like Kluivert is probably not the best solution to the problems they have.

Those who are not even qualified to coach National Teams accepting the job to coach and do the worst in the team to disqualified. Former players now see coaching job as a lucrative one so everyone like to dash in. But it is better for most of them to venture into other businesses and live their life comfortably from their and not to disappoint people through coaching job. The skills the players were using when they were still in active in the team might not be the same with the new ones they are using now. So if such person teaches the team they might not do well because he will be teaching them old skills. So coaching job needs extra training and he must be well equipped with the new techniques. Coaching job is not all about money but what the coach delivers. If he does well then Money will come on it own so id Indonesia National Football Association is using money to entice former players to Coach the team because they were doing well when they were in the active players, it is a waste of time.

Kluivert has two assistants they are Alex Pastoor and Denny Landzaat which Dutch people know the reputation of these man especially Alex Pastoor that his reputation as a coach in Netherlands is unquestionable because Alex Pastoor managed to bring several teams from Eredivisie 2 to be promoted to the 1st division and the last team he took to promotion was Almere City

Money has never been problem in Gulf region while we have the biggest problem about local youngsters they are never been interested in sports which is the biggest problem in this new revolution able to bring this new culture then surely we can feel things could be going to have change which is surely not easy because here environment is never been easy for bringing these youngsters in this main streamline from childhood they are having few habits which make them not fit for sports even though it's not applied on all but big part of population is living life which is just creating sugar patience.

But as things are taking changes now hopefully they will increase their all system for having competitions in school levels which will surely bring good and skills players, and then we can expect sports is going to have good impact on this region currently looking not easy.

LOL.. local youngsters are not interested in the sport? Who told you that? In each and every one of the GCC nations, football is the most popular sport by a long way.
