you can tell the host is reading off the qualification background stories off the notes on the back of the team names lol. Group A looks tougher so far. imo
It's fun to project meaning into the consecutive meanings, but what are the chances the two teams don't meet? At least for this draw, there was 50-50 chance of KOR and IRN meeting again
Absolutely, not only do we face Iran and Qatar again but we also face Uzbekistan again, and the Uzbeks surely haven't forgotten about the last WCQ's, so they definitely will be no pushover.
Well, in the most simplistic manner of looking at it. It's a coin toss. Or 3 consecutive heads/tails. But if you wanna look it more comprehensively, specially looking at rankings and seeding. It is pretty creepy that we've gotten THREE Iran vs Korea instead of atleast one Iran/Korea vs Japan, or Iran/Korea vs Australia. At any case. After this round we should get a restraining order. lol. #StalkerCountryDetected
That travel schedule... Aside from 2017. 08. 31---2017.09.05 fixtures, the flights seem tough. From Korea to wherever Syria will play, and from Korea to Iran
Pros and cons of playing China: Pros: Do we really need to bring out the head-to-head record? lol The last meeting between the two teams was a comfortable 2-0 win for Domestic Korea vs Domestic China (which means full strength) Cons: Perrin is no longer in charge , Gao Hongbo the only man to win over us as man in charge of Team China is back. Stielike is going to call up tons of CSL based players
Cool, I get to see a full-strength Australia (my country of birth) and Japan here in Bangkok. Of course it would have been better had Thailand been in Korea's group.
