wow plenty of injury time thrills in group D... basically Iran have already won the group with 6 pts, and play Syria with 2 while Qatar and Saudi on 1 point each play in the other game. Basically, a win for Syria puts them through, but anything less and a win for either Qatar or Saudi puts them out.... Syria are 2-1 up while Saudi score a late goal to go a goal up in the other game.. then 5 minutes into injury time, Iran score what would have been the equalizer to put Syria out, but the goal is disallowed for offside, seconds later Qatar get a last second equalizer to basically eliminate both themselves and Saudi Arabia ... so anyhoo the quarterfinals are set: South Korea vs. Japan Australia vs. Malaysia Uzbekistan vs. Syria Iran vs. North Korea all matches to be played on Sept 14th...
Quarterfinals : Australia 2-1 Malaysia South Korea 2-0 Japan Australia and South Korea qualified for FIFA U17 World Cup !
North Korea - Iran , 0-0 , 4-2 PKs Syria 5-2 Uzbekistan Syria and North Korea ready for FIFA U17 World Cup !
No they played in 2007 in S.Korea... made the 2nd round but went out to England.... I think Tajikstan were one of the AFC's other representatives that year... strange year that for AFC I guess..
wow Syria. after all they been through hey managed to qualify for the u17 WC. to be fair japan is a much better team than syria but japan had to face us in the quarters. never the less ,congrats to syria
Semifinals today: South Korea 7-1 Syria North Korea 0-0 Australia (4-1 pens) so that means the final is..... South Korea vs. North Korea My prediction for the final winner is..... Korea!
So there's the final: North Korea 2-1 South Korea.... So the winner is North Korea... not the first time they've beat out their neighbors from the south in something recently.....
