Highly likely if Poppa and Okon Snr remain at the wheel.

Incredible to think a family will be this talented at elite level, given how hard is to make it at the elite level as well.

Bless the family to be this talented at football, I hope all of them have good careers in the game.

I bet their all defensive midfielders

kutleshi rested

kutleshi rested

Besian Kutleshi on the bench for the Joeys so he may well get a couple minutes against Uzbekistan as opposed to being left out of the matchday squad altogether.

 

[grazorblade]

uzbekistan is dominating and just went 1-0 up after 27 minutes

 

[grazorblade]

Uzbek miss a 1v1 with the keeper, they have had a ton of big chances and are dominating pretty badly

 

[grazorblade]

2-0

its donkeys and racehorses, worse than when we used to play japan

 

[grazorblade]

2nd half better

First time ive seen a non japanese non south korean team look individually better (we have seen bad results like vietnam flogging us but we looked individually better those games)

Nothing new against Uzbekistan at youth level.

Nothing new against Uzbekistan at youth level.

This was either a step up from them or down from us imo

 

[Cunningstunt]

They are the current holders I believe? Underage they seem to be strong at the moment. Also no guarantees about the age of their side. Are we playing younger kids for the age group? Under 17s seems less likely.

 

[Barca4life]

Uzbekistan have been very strong at youth level in the last few years.

Defending champs at under 17 as well so they doing something right at that level, although its a young age group trying to win at under 17 level is not beyond the end of means given the World Cup is played every year so it encourage countries to have a more development focus but its interesting to see a country like Uzbekistan look quite strong at this level nevertheless.
