if that happens those Oceania teams will surely wake-up there senses
because were closing the gap and we will be relentless( I do hope).

We have the size now to match up with them.. hopefully Edu is available in November..."A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game. Remember that howsoever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power, when you stand before God, you cannot say, 'But I was told by others to do thus,' or that virtue was not convenient at the time. This will not suffice." - King Baldwin IV

But I agree with you, against Hongkong, it would be the perfect opportunity to give major minutes to Amos & KQ."A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game.

I'm confident that if Gilas gets at least 10 days of training prior to the game vs. New Zealand, we'll finally beat the Tall Blacks, but it won't be easy. It would also help if we have about 2 tune-up games prior to the 2nd window. Ang problema, would we have at least 10 days of practice before facing the Tall Blacks.

I think Qatar will get automatically qualification because they will host the world cup, even it's unfair.. I think India will be out for Qatar...
Asia Cup is Asia Cup.
Host is KSA and they are the only ones automatically qualified.
If Qatar were already automatically qualified for the Asia Cup, then we would have known already.
The games against India in the ACQ will be the deciding factor.
WC is different.

because that game would be my personal gauge on how our Gilas Team A had achieve so far using CTC's battle plan.
if they could replicate the work rate during the LAT game at the expense of the Tall Blacks then we had a small chance of defeating AUS Team C
but if we will be defeated by NZL by a single digit then same thing with AUS.
that is why that window game is crucial to assess if Gilas is really consistent playing against those on top of the food chain.
we do hope that the recent injury of AJ are not that severe
because realistically we cannot maximize his presence for that game
our 4 and 5 spots are not yet ideal as per expectation.

Qatar can fail to qualify for the ACQ but will participate in the WCQ.
My assumption here is:
Only the first 15 entrants to the Asia Cup will enter the WCQ if Qatar fails to qualify for the Asia Cup. That means the 16th place Asia Cup team won’t make it.
