Comment :
Two second placed teams will qualify , India is holding last spot now with +4 in goal difference and 6 points.
Group B in Kyrgyzstan starts on March 17
It will be tough for Philippines to qualify if only 6 points...
to qualify with 6 points is possible but then the team needs to win high vs. the (maybe ) weaker teams....all is possible in that group....we can win all 3 matches but we can also fail to qualify (what i don't hope to become reality especially with that squad available).....but compared to the last tournament or qualifying campaigns our team is considered (maybe)this year as favourite (with the home turf bonus)....and this is a lot of pressure and needs good nerves especially if the start into the tournament is not so good like expected (as we always had a weak start into the tournaments in the past).
