I think Indonesia has a pretty solid defense compared to China and Bahrain. But China and Bahrain have played against Japan so I think we don't know how solid Indonesia's defense is. But Japan has a very high offensive by scoring 15 goals. Even if Indonesia has a solid defense Japan only needs to score 1 goal to win. On the other hand I think Indonesia's offense is not that good right now because they have only scored 4 goals and that was only 1 goal from their striker, Struick -CMIIW. I don't expect much in this match. But a draw is already very good for Indonesia.

Japan is not only the best in Asia but they are also one of the strongest teams in the World Cup. So if Indonesia loses to them then it can be understood. And yes, I am also Indonesian, but I am also very unsure whether Indonesia will be able to win or draw in this match. Because the biggest possibility is defeat. But yeah, I can only hope that Indonesia gets points from this match. because I really want to see Indonesia progress further.
Indonesia will play against Japan and Saudi Arabia. And all of them are very tough opponents. because Japan and Saudi Arabia are two teams that we rarely see at the World Cup. So if Indonesia can get points from these two matches then it will be a good achievement for the Garuda team.
In the previous meeting, Indonesia also suffered defeat against Japan, namely with a score of 3-1. So it wouldn't be surprising at all if Indonesia returned. It's just that in the match against Saudi Arabia, I think Indonesia has a chance to win. Because in the previous match, Indonesia was also able to hold Saudi Arabia to a draw when playing at home to Saudi Arabia. And now Indonesia will play as host. So it can be hoped that Indonesia will play better. It's just that in reality Indonesia has a FIFA ranking that is very different from the two. Saudi Arabia and Japan have quite high Fifa rankings. Meanwhile, Indonesia is just a low-ranked team that hasn't even been able to break into the top 100. Indonesia will play against Japan and Saudi Arabia. And all of them are very tough opponents. because Japan and Saudi Arabia are two teams that we rarely see at the World Cup. So if Indonesia can get points from these two matches then it will be a good achievement for the Garuda team.

Even though I am from Indonesia, I cannot expect Indonesia to win the match. Of course I will still support Indonesia but realistically beating Japan is like an impossible mission. Japan is the best team in Asia right now. They have many players who play in top European leagues. There are even players who are able to compete with top European players. This shows that their level is the highest in Asia. They are undefeated and no opposing player has been able to score a goal against them. So far, only Australia has held Japan to a draw. And Australia's goal was an own goal from Shogo Taniguchi.
On the other hand, Indonesia is improving and honestly this is the best team Indonesia has ever had. I hope Indonesia can finish this match well. I hope they can hold Japan to a draw. Or at least they don't lose by a big score like other countries.

Indonesia is at home but Hajime Moriyasu's team are the favourites to win this match. They are the group leaders with ten points after three wins and a draw. Indonesia have not been too lucky in these qualifiers having earned three points from three draws and one loss. Indonesia might have a good defence when you compare them with teams like China and Bahrain. But you cannot compare their backline with Japan that have conceded just one goal in four games. The Indonesian team should score more goals if they are to make it out of this group.
Japan's strength is more favored in an effort to get full points when visiting Indonesia. If Indonesia is able to hold Japan to a draw, that would be a very good result, especially if Indonesia can beat Japan.In four matches, they managed to get three draws and one loss, the opportunity to advance to the staqe qualification is still open as long as they are able to win several group c matches.
We regret the referee's decision when Indonesia played Bahrain.

I think securing the first 3 points against Japan will be very difficult considering the quality of both teams. I really regretted when Indonesia's points were robbed by Bahrain and Indonesia's poor performance against China. At that time Indonesia was able to hold strong teams like Australia and Saudi Arabia to a draw while China lost to both teams. Indonesia should have been able to win the match against China but it seemed like Indonesia was unlucky and China performed quite well in that match. But my best hope is that Indonesia can bring 1 point from this match. Indonesia's defense is quite solid with several players who play in top leagues in Europe.

For the next few days, the international break will be back with various match for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, I observing the Asian zone and see opportunities in the Indonesia vs Japan match where Japan itself is the strongest team and they are favorites with @1.20 while Indonesia @12.00.
Japan has destroyed several team with landslide victories that have met them, I curious how Indonesia will finish this match.
In this fixture, I'm not expecting much from this game but for Japan to win as they have got a better chance than Indonesia who isn't know for having some sorts of football prowes across Europa, most likely Japan has got more chances at qualification than Indonesia really does. Indonesia doesn't have the kind of records Japan has so far in this qualifications and Japan has won teams thst are even much bigger than Indonesia so this is going to sound like an easy game for them.Japan has destroyed several team with landslide victories that have met them, I curious how Indonesia will finish this match.
The most important thing in this match is that I hope Indonesia does not lose by a big score or at least gives resistance, that's enough for me.

Indonesia's problem is in the attack, if Indonesia had good players in the attack and could score a lot of goals, then they would be in second place easily because in this group only Japan has a good attack. The rest of the teams have terrible attacks. See:
Australia: 4 games and only scored 4 goals
Saudi Arabia: 4 games and only scored 3 goals
Bahrein: 4 games and only scored 3 goals
China: 4 games and only scored 4 goals
That's why in my opinion Japan will win this game. This is because Japan has a good attack, they can at least score 2 goals, but I doubt very much that Indonesia will be able to score 2 goals, because Japan in 4 games only conceded 1 goal. Japan has the best defense compared to all the teams in this group.

Japan national team is difficult match for Indonesia team because they have dominance with aboard players and last night I watches how incredible performance of Takefusa Kubo when Sociedad defeating Barcelona. I can't believing how to anticipation at right winger position because he has excellent speed and actually Indonesian team must have solid defense if want get impossible mission secure three home points. The Japan national team have landed in Indonesian yesterday and have begin training center, they will adapt weather at Indonesian and I think difficult for aboard players keep adapting well hot weather in our country. On the other hand, Indonesia is improving and honestly this is the best team Indonesia has ever had. I hope Indonesia can finish this match well. I hope they can hold Japan to a draw. Or at least they don't lose by a big score like other countries.
Indonesia team must secure the first three points if want get possibility with top fourth standings position and get qualify to playoff round, actually lead the first standings still not close yet behind few points left from Australia and upcoming match Indonesia will face Saudi Arabia as home match.

No one knows whether Ronaldo will participate in the 2026 World Cup or not because there is no official confirmation, moreover what the other Portuguese players did was bit excessive towards Ronaldo.
Well that why I said that new era will start sooner or later, what is clear is that in the 2026 World Cup we will slowly be able to see it and of course there will be many surprises that will happen, I didn't mention Haaland because he plays for Norway and we all know how Norway is for international competitions like the World Cup, there is no hope at all.
In fact, this is not a bet that I would not be willing to make.Well that why I said that new era will start sooner or later, what is clear is that in the 2026 World Cup we will slowly be able to see it and of course there will be many surprises that will happen, I didn't mention Haaland because he plays for Norway and we all know how Norway is for international competitions like the World Cup, there is no hope at all.
In a press conference that took place two months ago, Cristiano Ronaldo denied that he had finished his cycle as a player in Portugal and even stated that he was even more motivated to play in the World Cup after the European Championship.
My opinion... although he is still a good player, Ronaldo no longer has the physical conditioning or the disposition to run and compete in the match alongside other talented players who are much younger than him.
If CR7 gets a place in the World Cup, unfortunately it will only be to play part-time with the aim of making his presence felt and receiving some shots on goal. But I do not expect CR7 to be on the field to dribble with his speed and jingoism.

But it seems like we can't find a rivalry like Ronaldo and Messi. And it seems like it only happens once in a lifetime. I think we are very lucky to witness the rivalry of the two GOATs who have written their names in various records in football history. And they both played for clubs with intense rivalry. Both were in the same prime and football at that time was really worth watching. Honestly I think we will see a new generation but a rivalry like Ronaldo-Messi will never happen again. In the past Maradona and Pele were also two GOATs who were compared to each other but they didn't have a rivalry because they didn't play in the same league at club level.

Entering the International break and there is a FIFA Matchday schedule that will be filled with World Cup qualifiers. There is a match that will be very interesting, namely the match where Japan will visit Indonesia in the 5th match of the Asian zone Qualification group C. Japan itself is the leader of group C and they have already set one foot in the 2026 World Cup. Indonesia, which just experienced bad luck last month, had to fight tooth and nail against Japan. This is clearly not easy and of course we will predict that Japan will be able to win again in this match. It is very difficult for Indonesia to get at least 1 point from Japan.
According the news which i read Japan will not hold back which mean although Japan opponent is only Indonesia which can be categorized as weak team in group C but confirmed they will play with all of their main players and i assume why Japan looks serious for this match because they want to secure first place to ensure they will be qualified early and for Indonesia during their history Indonesia was never able to win from Japan even previously Indonesia has been lost with big scores from Japan plenty so i think Indonesia have to realize that their quality is below to Japan and even probably to collect 1 point is very hard for them and for me if Indonesia lost then hopefully they will not lost with big scores from this match

During this international break we have two games for each team which is playing for the qualifiers while Indonesia is going to first Japan and then Saudi Arab both are challenges for them because these two teams have good experience and good quality for staying into hunt for qualification of World Cup and Indonesia is yet to win their first game in these third stage games.
With this performance I am not expecting good results from them in these games, but they can give their best for having spot into fourth stage which could also good for them because they are having good development in game but still they are not good enough for having any chance of going into next world cup 2026 as many teams are having much better chances due to their good quality and performance.
Indonesian teams have two difficult opponent national team to face for upcoming FIFA World Cup qualifier match against Japan and few days later facing Saudi Arabia. With this performance I am not expecting good results from them in these games, but they can give their best for having spot into fourth stage which could also good for them because they are having good development in game but still they are not good enough for having any chance of going into next world cup 2026 as many teams are having much better chances due to their good quality and performance.
Its very difficult opponent team have to face by Indonesian team because Japan is the only one teams at Group C without unbeaten yet and only conceded one goals when being draw by Australian team. Its firstly for Indonesia team against Japan at group phase but last match at AFC Asian Cup Indonesia have defeated over 3-1.
The Indonesia team still difficult for winning in the qualifier match, although started well with three consecutives being draw against Saudi Arabia, Australia, Bahrain and last match defeated by China. To secure to fourth position standings and get opportunity for next round qualifying Indonesia team have defeated Japan and Saudi Arabia because got advantage two consecutives home match.
