AFC U20 Asian Cup 2025

[Pluto2000]

Andarz has not started either of the two games if I’m not mistaken and he looks a bit Sardar-like (aka chubby). He’s been the prospect I’ve been most excited about in the past few years. Does anyone know what’s happening with him? Is it the coach’s strategy to rotate players now to save them for knockout round or is he having fitness issues?

Andarz has always looked like that, I think being short and stubby is his bone structure lol. Andarz is being saved for most important matches because he had a hamstring injury a month or two ago in the U20 Qualifiers and ended up not being able to train with Leganes for like 2 months until mid January. I'm guessing they wanna be extra safe and only use him for most important games

howler for the korean goalkeeper - 1-0 to thailand

[webmaster]

^ Thailand lost 1-4 . Korea too strong for them.

Interesting. Assuming Korea and Japan ends in a tie our choices are to as the British say "down tools" and throw game vs Uzbekistan to get Korea or to just play Uzbekistan win or tie and play Japan.

Even as Syria just tied them.

I wonder what will people will say.

I know what Sir Alex would say

[Kian H]

Well perhaps it just shows that Korea is better than Japan, if they win the group. And in that case it would be best to face Japan.
Besides, its not Even sure we win our group. We Can lose to Usbekistan, that wouldnt be the biggest surprise Even though i expect a draw.

No matter What, we should just go for the win. Korea or Japan, the difference aint that Big. We have to believe in ourselves

^^if we are already talking about who we should face in the next round then we have already lost. This is a losing mentality. Play your best and whoever you get in the next round you get. Instead of focusing on our strategy and getting better we are focused on who we should face next wrong.

If that is the case we have already lost the next game!

We must lose to Uzbekistan to avoid Japan speed. I am not saying we will beat Korea but Japan speed in a do or die match is too much.

We are cluster f..

If we lose yo uzbak
And Japan beat korea
wi.than we end up playing Japan.

this south korea team looks good in attack - one of their players is wanted by aston villa and brighton atm. Both Korea and Japan seemingly have goalkeeping issues judging by the previous matches i hope our players test them to the fullest.
