North Korea is going to withdraw from the World Cup qualifiers, that was expected

https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/sport/covid-19-north-korea-skip-world-cup-qualifiers-football-14737044

 

and this is a terrible new for Iran, because with one group of 4 teams,  they won't count results against the 5th placed teams in each group to detremine the best runner ups. and Iran will lose its huge 14-0 win over Cambodia.

 

by my count, the 2nd team of Group C has a slim chance to qualify, so Iran has to win all 4 remaining matches to qualify :(

So does that mean all the previous results are awarded 3-0 to the other team as well?

they have two options actually

1) award the remaining matches 3-0 to the opposite team and leave the previous results the way it was

2) remove North Korea and its results from the table and making it a group of 4 teams.

 

option 1 will be good for us, but option 2 (which is more likely) will be terrible as I explained.

I think number 1 is more likely. See St. Lucia.

 

Edit: actually I dont know. Lol sorry.

North Korea officially withdrew

 

https://www.the-afc.com/competitions/afc-asian-cup/news/latest-update-on-asian-qualifiers

 

FIFA will decide about the outcome soon. hopefully they just give the remaining matches 3-0 to the opponents. if they remove PRK from the table, Iran has to win all 4 matches to qualify :wacko:

 

-----------

 

this also shows PRK is very serious about not going to Tokyo

FIFA approved AFC's recommendation and removed all PRK's results

 

results against 5th placed teams in each group won't be counted. I believe Iran is the biggest loser here by losing +14 GD. I somehow have a feeling AFC had that in mind when they "recommended" this to FIFA.

What they are doing to Iran is an scandal.

Important results in Asia today

 

:AUS 3-0 :KUW

:IRI 3-1 :HKG

:QAT 1-0 :IND

:UAE 4-0 :MAS

 

Australia only needs to beat Nepal and Chinese Taipei to qualify, that's a sure thing. they will join Japan (only team already qualified) other groups are still a bit complicated.

 

and for Iran it was a poor performance. I was expecting a bigger margin to improve the GD but HKG parked the bus for something like 80 minutes and the pitch in Bahrain was also terrible. our GK never touched the ball with his hands until that HKG goal which was their only half chance ! :smash:

 

that match against Bahrain on 7 June is win or die. at least this one will be in the main stadium with a much better pitch. by my count a draw may eliminate both teams. (thanks to PRK) but still I highly doubt Bahrain doesn't park the bus. beating Bahrain "sounds" easy but not for Iran. we played there 6 times in history and the results were 2 draws and 4 defeats :facepalm::wacko:  still hoping for a win :pope:

Our World Cup hopes will be alive for another 8 days :p first ever away win against Bahrain, even though technically that was a "home match" :wacko:

 

2 wins out 4, and I assume beating Cambodia will be easy. so it's win or die match against Iraq now. if it wasn't for North Korea's withdrawal Iran would qualify even after losing to Iraq but now only a win will be enough.

Tomorrow there will be lots of bloggers help calculate the scores and analyze the situation. China just won over the Philippines. But the whole situation is still a mess. Good luck to Iran and China.:thumbup:

    • Apparently this season will be last one in Kamil Stoch career if his results wont be enough good for his standards.
    • Such a nice one for Colturi ! That was fun. It almost looked like a script with the cameras focusing on Colturi a couple of times before her first run and showcasing the potential of youngster and she didn't disappoint.      I hope Colturi skis for Albania forever. So much fun to cheer her with the Albanian flag.    I don't get it why everyone is being so critical of Colturi, you got no right to criticize a personal decision, as most European nations use imported athletes in many sports like wrestling and cheer them on like their.   Would you spend hours criticizing Frank Chamizo for switching to Italy rather than playing for Cuba? 
    • europe will arrest Satanyahu except hungary
    • Wooow Canada    Trudeau Confirms Canada Will Arrest Satanyahu Upon Visit After World Court Order   https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ndtv.com/world-news/canada-to-go-uk-way-on-netanyahu-arrest-trudeau-says-will-abide-by-icc-warrant-7086684/amp/1   This is the response of jew lobby : we gonna destroy the canadian economy      
    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
