At the end I was almost sure Uzbekistan would equalize with that wonder shot from way out but the goalkeeper did a good job. If Saudis don't win they will face Japan next
nudge Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Oman winning 3-1 means that they're above Vietnam in the best placed third standings; Vietnam needs Lebanon to win by less than 4 goals against North Korea to get through

Azeem Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Lebanon made it 4-1 in 98th minute but still behind Vietnam on yellow cards
nudge Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 ohhh that was as close as it gets... Lebanon win 4-1 meaning they have the same number of points and the same goal difference. Vietnam are through to the knockouts as they have one yellow card less (5 for Vietnam - 6 for Lebanon) otherwise it would have gone to drawing lots So confirmed round of 16: Thailand v China Iran v Oman Jordan v Vietnam Japan v Saudi Arabia South Korea v Bahrain Qatar v Iraq UAE v Kyrgyzstan Australia v Uzbekistan
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted January 17, 2019 Subscriber Posted January 17, 2019 Think it will go like this Thailand v China Iran v Oman Jordan v Vietnam Japan v Saudi Arabia South Korea v Bahrain Qatar v Iraq UAE v Kyrgyzstan Australia v Uzbekistan

Azeem Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 I think the Iran Oman match is 50-50. For some reason Iran always chokes in KO-stages. Last time they won a KO-game was in 2004
Azeem Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 Interesting fact about Vietnam During the Vietnam War, American soldiers used to wear diapers during night in their armed viechels to avoid ambush from the bushes.

Azeem Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Thailand is probably the most favorite to cause an upset. Vietnam took the game against Iraq till the last minute but Jordan is a well managed team i don't see them struggling against Vietnam

You're probably right though, Qatar is on a massive rise and improving a lot. Ali Almoez is quality from what I hear.
Guest Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Vietnam looking a lot better then when I saw them against Iraq. I feel they are lacking some firepower in the box, but I can see the talent. They are doing very well to play it out the back, which no weak team could do even at this level. They also look smooth in their transitioning to the opposing half. Jordan still look more likely to win but I can certainly see why Vietnam have done well at youth level.

I think Vietnam are finally playing without nervousness; they are a very young and inexperienced squad (average age 23; the youngest at the tournament for that matter) and now after making it into the knockout rounds they know they already did what was expected of them. And yes you're right that they are lacking options upfront; Ahn Duc's absence is really felt and as a result they can mostly rely on standards and long shots...
