With the CCQs coming around in a few days time, I ventured some predictions as to how these groups will end up looking. First place of each of the five groups qualifies to the final tournament and the best two of the second placed teams also earn a ticket to the Maldives – making for a total of 7 qualified teams.
My predictions (teams in bold qualify):
Group A
India
Myanmar
Chinese Taipei
Guam
Group B
Tajikistan
Kyrgyzstan
Pakistan
Macau
Group C
Laos
Afghanistan
Sri Lanka
Mongolia
Group D
Palestine
Nepal
Bangladesh
Northern Mariana Islands
Group E
Philippines
Turkmenistan
Cambodia
Brunei
To make things interesting for myself, I pledge to buy a Palestine Supporter Shirt if I correctly guess the qualified nations with a score >70%. In fact I might just buy one either way!
