Its pretty much a do-or-die clash. Only think about winning.

Hong Myung-bo's coaching career has come down to this one match. This is life or death for him.

This will be an automatic win.

automatic no.

but i dont think they will go into the match with much pressure cause they can take care of business. the only reason oman are in contention is cause of a technicality not by their performance on the pitch. and adding a player like NTH will only help as he can surely play well among his peers. the game will come down to not conceding first and maybe a few moments of brilliance.

A tie against Oman and a win against Qatar at home will be fine. The results are actually what I am predicting at the moment. This edition of Oman's team is really good whereas Qatar is near trash. Getting [at least] a tie against Oman will be really crucial though.

What exactly do you know about Oman to be so confident? We're going into the last two matches of the qualifying round and this team has still hasn't won an away match. Considering how poorly they've played, even a draw here would be a good result.

I'm not as familiar with Oly qualifying. Only the top seed advances from this group?

Only top seed is guaranteed, the 2nd has to go to playoff I think acc. to my recollection of wiki.


EDIT: looked it up on Wiki:

Oman, Qatar, what's the difference?

Another dumb post. We barely managed a draw away to Qatar.

For what its worth, here is the predicted lineup. But knowing Mr Hong, I wont believe anything until I see the starting xi right before the match.

Kim Hyun Sung--------

-----Kim Min Woo

Kim Bo Kyung------------------------Nam Tae Hee

Park Jong Woo---Han Kook Young

Yoon Suk Young---Kim Young Kwon---Hong Jeong Ho---Oh Jae Suk

idk about that. im not a huge fan of kim minwoo especially in the 10 role

Thanks.

Are the arab teams any good or are we that bad/not playing to our full potential?

strikers. they seem completely invisible at times.

some of it is not playing to potential. but the team has been efficient getting wins at home and draws away. its a pretty solid team that defends reasonably well and is full of defensive mids and attacking mids.

nice piece on KBK

I think as long as Seo Jung Jin doesnt start, we should be fairly ok. His situation reminds me of Yoon Bitgaram's before the Qatar match.
The key point of this match will be how Nam Tae Hee contributes to the team. He should be alright with the Middle Eastern environment and should have no big issues with the communication of the team.

Are they playing right now???

12 hours off

Looking forward to watching it and reading commentary here. Thanks, bruthas from another mother!
