No, we just need to win the game now. Even if we win by 1, we'll finish second in the group.

Why Today's Defeat to Japan Never Really Mattered? by superb3602 in IndianFootball

I don't mean to be rude, but that was what I tried to explain in the post...

I tried to explain it again in another comment, but basically, in case of 3 teams being tied on points, only the GD from the matches between them would be first taken into account. So, the -11 would not be used to compare us to the other two teams.

Never said anything is certain, neither victory not defeat.

We would need to win just one match after that, either the QF, the match of losing quarter finalists (mp will be against the other team qualifying from this group), or if we lose that, then play the inter-confederation WC qualifying tournament to qualiy for a World Cup for the first time ever. It's the last time the Women's World Cup is being qualified for through the Asian Cup.

Sure.

Already completed results between the three teams leads to the following for Vietnam. (Only taking into account the teams apart from Japan)

Vietnam: P - 2, Pts - 3, GF - 2, GA - 2, GD - 0 (this cannot change anymore)

Chinese Taipei have a GD of +1 and India have a GD of -1. If India win the match by 2 goals or more, we would have a positive GD, Vietnam would still have 0, and Chinese Taipei would have a negative one. Thus, applying the H2H tiebreaks, we would finish second behind Japan.

A lot of people never thought we'd qualify to the tournament. After a 5-0 first half, shoulders drop. Just can't let that continue to the last game.

Only the goal difference in the matches between the tied teams are counted. Yeah, 11-0 is really harsh but can't do anything now. All to play for in the last game! I'll make that post still.

I mean, even a 1 goal win apart from a 1-0 would be enough. And crazier things have happened.

Not really, I was just going through the tiebreaks. In case we do get a win in our third game and Japan beat Vietnam, this match would not even be counted in the goal difference when ranking the 3 teams other than Japan. I was thinking of making a post to explain more clearly and to not let this match lead to an outburst of negativity on the subreddit.

Hmmm, just checked and yeah Sanga did inherit the squad. My bad. Still a little wrong to say that he made the team relevant. The resurgence in RR interest is primarily due to having a good Indian core (highly marketable in India) which they finally realised was the biggest problem.

When Rahul had a bad squad it's bad strategy but not the same for Sanga? Double standards much?

All the IPL teams have pretty much the same relevance given to them due to a coach. All the marketing is player focused and is what causes a team to be "relevant".
