Honnestly really happy for them. has gotten so close so often to qualifying to the world cup, the Olympics is obviously not the same, but they really deserve to qualify in this sport.

despite having the best team of the competition and playing against the weakest possible opponent in the semifinal, Uzbeks were about to choke once again, Indonesia scored few minutes before Uzbekistan's first goal. but the VAR cancelled it for a bogus offside call.  that would have changed everything

Our media are not so sure. They say that  and  will have higher rankings than other 2 teams. So  cannot face them in the group.

Still do not know if they are right that the IOC is taking into account not only the latest Olympic tournament for the rankings.

The winner of the final between Japan and Uzbekistan will slot into Group D at Paris 2024, featuring Paraguay, Mali and Israel, while the runner-up will join Spain, Egypt and the Dominican Republic in Group C

so, all the criteria previously indicated were bullshit

it's just about this tournament (as it should be), the winner is AFC1 and so on

no 2020 nor other dirty moves...

Very interesting set of teams qualifying for this tournament.

Yeah, now that there's no risk of a team boycotting their match against Israel (at least until the knockout stage) there's no need to create a crazy system to avoid an uncomfortable match-up.
