The Aussie Younglings thread - 2022 AFC U23 Asian Cup

Am I right in saying that a win for the U17s now advances us to the knock out stage?

Yup. If Saudi win or draw then quarters against Japan most likely.

Ok so we’re through with a draw also because we beat China. Head to head decides it.

Presumably that also means that we cant get 1st in the group now even if Saudi lose.

Irankunda is lucky he has other strengths in the game because wow he is an atrocious passer lol

Hard to argue with Irankunda’s contribution there, to be fair.

Missed the goal because I was on the phone to my mum.

Looked like Irankunda should have had a penalty at one point.

Saudi 2 up over China.

Seriously how are China still such a minor power in Asian (let alone world) football. Wang Yudong looked pretty tidy against us but they were pretty lucky to get as close as they were in that game I thought.

And we’re still a chance to avoid Japan if Uzbekistan can gain +3
Uzbekistan v Vietnam, and Japan v India tomorrow in Group D

Japan in the quarters, they beat India 8-4 :flushed:

U17s playing Japan, 1-0 down after 15

2-0 now

They seem to be getting into the box more now which is encouraging. Would have been nice to play the Uzbeks at this point instead though!

They are doing better but they still need three goals

Details for the next two games.

On YouTube in the early hours.

Peupion with a lovely free kick from a pretty outrageous angle - but the keeper didn’t help himself at all.

and Triantis just passed straight to the Tajik forward… who puts it through for an easy goal. Fuck me that was bad.
