Originally posted by JOI2dWorld View PostIf Philippines is a football crazy country create a football team from our basketball players
I always imagine Gabe Norwood or Arwind Santos as a goalkeeper, while calvin and pingris are perfect for CB, Scottie as a box to box midfielder , Cj Perez as a winger, Castro as a attacking midfielder or a false 9, idk if thirdy will be a good striker, imagine sol mercado as DM while alapag and tenorio as maestros ala modric

I hope that Philippines and Japan will not copy the same what Qatar's situation in recent FIFA WC... With the way Qatar plays, They didn't deserve to play in this stage (They're like Indonesia last FIBA Asia cup, they only bought that spot, not earned)... Qatar only qualified because they bought that spot.. They didn't earned it... For PHL and JPN, Hoping for atleast competitive matches at their home turf next year... Prove that they earned that spot, Not only by bought.... Qatar faced probably the team that should they beat (Ecuador)... But they didn't....

Originally posted by Dotch View PostThey thought Ecuador is easy pickings and they just need to beat the other non-European team in their group, Senegal. They underestimated that these countries live and bleed football 24/7. There were rumours that the Ecuadorians were offered money to deliberately lose to Qatar, but they didnt count the fact that the Ecuadorians and all other teams here cannot be bought.

Originally posted by sroth3839 View PostAFC teams are simply far behind in skill level compared to CONMEBOL and CAF teams. Remember Ecuador is in the same confederation as Brazil and Argentina so they really need to fight for their place with Chile, Colombia, Uruguay, and Paraguay all formidable foes for that last two spot. In last year’s Arab Cup, you see a glaring difference between North African and Gulf Arab teams in terms of skill and Physique. It shows how AFC teams are really at a disadvantage because the confederation is considered the weakest.

Argentina got its breakthrough goal on the first few minutes on the 2nd half. And Argentina kept pressure until they eventually scored the 2nd goal
