JAKARTA – Member of the Regional Representative Council (DPD) of the Republic of Indonesia, Alfiansyah Bustami Komeng alias Komeng, issued a hilarious prediction regarding the match between Indonesia and Japan in the Third Round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Indonesia and Japan will meet in the fifth match of Group C of the Third Round of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers for the Asian Zone on November 15, 2024 at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK).
Komeng jokingly said that Indonesia would definitely win the duel because of its experience in the 1945 war of independence.
"Indonesia will definitely win because it was shown in 1945, Japan left. The score was 3-2. Three envelopes and two change," said the comedian, greeted by laughter from the media crew at the Kemenpora Media Center, Jakarta, Friday, November 8, 2024.
Japan is the only team that has not suffered a defeat so far in Group C. Of the four matches that have been played, they have won three times and drawn once.
The result makes Japan now sit comfortably at the top of the standings with 10 points. The capital that Japan has clearly makes the Indonesian National Team's chances of getting points very small.
On the other hand, the Indonesian National Team has so far only secured three points. The acquisition was the result of three draws and one loss against China in the last group match.
The result makes the Indonesian National Team currently still sit in fifth place in the standings. That place is not safe for the Garuda Squad if they want to qualify for the 2026 World Cup finals.
To be able to get a ticket directly to the final round, the Indonesian National Team must at least finish in second place. If that target is not achieved, then Shin Tae-yong's team needs to pursue third or fourth place.
The third or fourth position keeps the Indonesian National Team's hopes alive because they will play in the Fourth Round of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers. There the Garuda Squad will compete again with two other countries to win a ticket to the final round.
If in the Fourth Round they fail to get a place in the final round, then the Indonesian National Team's last hope is through the intercontinental playoffs. With a note, the runner-up position of the Fourth Round must be secured.
In the intercontinental playoff, the Indonesian National Team must win the match to get the only remaining ticket to the 2026 World Cup finals.
