So, Pakistan drew against Cambodia in their 1st leg match in Phnom Penh. Goalless draw. Constantine was the coach. Did anyone watch the match or its highlights?
Stephen made it... Pakistan beat Mongolia 1-0 and qualifies for next round.... First win in their history of qualifiers.... One thing for sure stimac is a very jugadi coach
We have played them twice at Home. We know Kuwait strengths & weaknesses and vice-versa. Kuwait might be toughest team in pot3. But no teams are easy from pot3 (We lost to Lebanon & Malaysia in away games, Tajikistan & N.Korea at Home, Turkmenistan in both Home & Away games).
If we are aiming for 3rd round, we should defeat teams like Kuwait & at-least a draw against Qatar (we did once & came very close with 10 men in another instance).
In third round, based on the current FIFA rankings, there is a possibility of getting teams like Japan/Iran/S.Korea & Australia in same group. Just imagine if we are getting chance to play against Japan 2 times & Australia 2 times & 2 more games with teams like Iraq/UAE/Uzbekistan/Oman.
As I mentioned earlier, we are fortunate enough to get Qatar in WCQ instead of top Asian nations. We should aim for 6 points against Afghanistan, 4 points against Kuwait & 2 points against Qatar : 11-12 points should be enough for us to qualify to 3rd round.
