The Chinese men s football team completed the quarterfinals of 18 as expected, why was it still eliminated? 1 team s release of the water harms others and themselves

The 2026 World Cup Qualifiers Asian Division Top 18 has come to an end. At this stage, 6 places directly into the World Cup have been generated, and 6 teams have been completely eliminated. The remaining 6 teams have entered the next stage, competing for the last 2.5 places.

There are surprises to create miracles and ends with an outs. Of course, for a strong team, it is just a formality. Unfortunately, the Chinese men's football team ends with an out-of-stage end.

The six teams that go directly to the World Cup are Iran and Uzbekistan in Group A, South Korea and Jordan in Group B, Japan and Australia in Group C.

Iran, Japan, South Korea, and Australia are also regular visitors to the World Cup, just achieving ordinary goals, but Jordan and Uzbekistan are creating miracles, and they are caring and celebrating, just like we did in 2002.

But happiness belongs to them, and we are the only one who comes next time!

The Chinese men's football team finally achieved a record of 3 wins and 7 losses, with 9 points, ranking fifth in the group, and was unfortunately eliminated!

But in fact, with the strength of the Chinese men's football team, this record is in line with expectations.

Group division, the Chinese men's football team is in the fifth place, with Australia, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Indonesia in the same group. It is impossible to directly win the top 2 and advance to the World Cup. Keeping the top 4 in the group is the goal. To achieve this goal, it is to beat Bahrain and Indonesia!

In the end, the Chinese men's football team won 2 wins and 1 win and 1 loss to Indonesia. Although they did not achieve a 4 win and 0 defeat, this result should be acceptable! However, in the end, I missed the fourth place in the group. Why is this?

The main reason is to grasp the details!

Indonesia has 1 win and 1 loss against the Chinese men's football team, and only 1 win and 1 draw against Bahrain. In terms of the three teams, the Chinese men's football team is the best, but Indonesia has scored points in Saudi Arabia and Australia, which is the variable! In the first half of the group stage, Saudi Arabia and Australia were not in good shape. Indonesia seized the opportunity and tied Australia and Saudi Arabia in a row, and scored an unexpected 2 points. The Chinese men's football team actually has the opportunity to score points on them, but they encountered a reversal and a final score, but failed to score 1 point. It was these 2 points that made the Chinese men's football team passive and had to win at least 1 win and draw against Indonesia to reverse their disadvantages!

What's worse is that in the second half, Indonesia also defeated Saudi Arabia, which pushed the Chinese men's football team to a desperate situation. It must win a row of Indonesia and Bahrain to have hope of winning the top 4.

However, the Chinese men's football team lost 0-1 to Indonesia away, which became the biggest regret.

Indonesia finally scored 12 points, ranked fourth in the group, 9 points in the Chinese men's football team, and 5th in the group, and for Indonesia's 12 points, Saudi Arabia gave 4 points! It is these 4 points that made Indonesia beat the Chinese men's football team. The Chinese men's football team's elimination is the original sin, which is the main reason, but Saudi Arabia's incompetence is the last straw that crushes the Chinese men's football team.

In the end, Saudi Arabia was only ranked third in the group, missed the World Cup and entered the next stage of the game. Although it still had a good chance to enter the World Cup, it increased the risks. It can only be said that Saudi Arabia is harming others and themselves.

If Saudi Arabia defeated Indonesia 1-0 in the second game, then the Chinese men's football team can still rely on the advantage of goal difference to win the fourth place in the group, but unfortunately there is no if. No matter what, with the current strength of the Chinese men's football team, they will definitely miss the World Cup.
