As expected, the Asian teams faced a lot of difficulties in their group. And whether after the group stage of the World Cup 2022 closes, will any representative of AFC win the right to continue?
Hope runs out with Asian football
At this World Cup, Asian football for the first time has 6 representatives, which are Japan, South Korea, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Australia and the host country Qatar.
However, located in a continent where football is still not a strength, it is not surprising that the continental teams have not achieved the expected results during their journey in Qatar.

Qatar is the most disappointing among Asia's representatives in this World Cup.
The biggest disappointment is still the host team Qatar in Group A, when coach Felix Sanchez's army lost two consecutive matches to Ecuador and Senegal, thereby officially becoming the first team to stop at the World Cup. this year.
In Group B, Iran had a forgettable opening match when England were buried with a 6-2 result. But the positive signal is that they then returned with a 2-0 victory over Wales in the second round, thereby temporarily getting second place in the group.
Also getting second place in the group so far is Australia in Group D. Despite losing 1-4 to the defending champion, France in the first match, but Australia had an important victory over Tunisia to overcome it. continue to raise hopes of going to the knockout round.
The most impressive after the first two matches in this World Cup are Saudi Arabia and Japan. While Saudi Arabia created an earthquake with Lionel Messi's 2-1 victory over Argentina, Japan also drew the world's attention with a 2-1 victory over the champion, Germany, on the opening day.
The Korean team, despite having many stars, still has not won after the first 2 matches
Meanwhile, the other representative of Asia - the Korean team is less fortunate when not getting good results after the first two matches.
Son Heung Min's team played well against Uruguay in the opening match. Even if the shot is more accurate, they have 3 points in this match. Unfortunately, in the second round, Korea did not play well and lost 2-3 to Ghana.
With this result, the future is quite uncertain for the 'Taeguk Warriors' at the 2022 World Cup. They do not even have the right to decide on their own ticket to continue because even if they beat Portugal, Korea still needs to Waiting for the results of the match at the same time between Uruguay and Ghana to see if I'm lucky enough to finish second in Group H.
Which team can go on?
Although there are still 5/6 Asian representatives who still have the opportunity to continue after the group stage in the 2022 World Cup. But in fact the chances of the teams are very slim.
Of these, Iran is considered to have the highest hope of progressing, when they only met an American team that did not have too much difference in level in the last match of Group B.
Maybe the Chinese team has just successfully stopped England in the second round, but this is clearly not a team with a diverse and convincing attacking style. And if it plays like the match against Wales, Iran has a chance to win tickets to the next round.
In Group C, Saudi Arabia has only one option to continue. That is overcoming Mexico - the team is ranked 13th in the world on the FIFA rankings. However, this is certainly not an easy task for the 'Blue Falcon' when Mexico has more than enough qualifications, bravery and experience to deal with representatives of Asia.
In fact, Saudi Arabia is also not appreciated when entering this World Cup. So if they lose to Mexico and get eliminated, that's not too surprising.
Like Saudi Arabia, despite creating an earthquake in the 2022 World Cup, Japan also faced many challenges in finding tickets to the next round.
After a surprising 0-1 loss to Costa Rica, 'Blue Sumurai' made it difficult for himself before entering the competition with Spain. It will almost be difficult for the army of coach Moriyasu to create another surprise before a powerful Spain coach Luis Enrique. And the opportunity to continue will only come to them once Germany cannot beat Costa Rica in the last match of Group E.
On the Australian side, in the final round, they will face Christian Eriksen's Denmark. This is also considered a 1 to 1 match between the two teams. If Denmark overcomes Australia, they will get the second place in Group D. While 'Socceroos' only has 1 point in this match to officially enter the next round, because the scenario that Tunisia defeats France is very unlikely.
Still know that in football all surprises can happen, but in an important match, the bravery and class of a big team will always be shown. And Denmark with the upper door position will hardly be able to miss the opportunity to win 3 points in this match to join France in the 1/8 round.
With Korea, as mentioned, it is almost impossible for the Kimchi team to pass the group stage in this World Cup. Because the necessary condition is that they must defeat Portugal, but at the same time the Uruguay - Ghana match must end with a draw, or Uruguay wins at least.
Thus, it can be affirmed that the Asian representatives will probably "fall off" most of the time after the group stage of this World Cup. And if you're lucky, only Iran and Australia will be the two remaining names in the knockout round that will start from December 3.
