Based on our team's previous performance. 3-1 or 2-1 for the uzbeks.
I hope I'm wrong.

What is your preferable formation and position of our players? PYH and Denis Wolf is a very good tandem

Marwin Angeles must be playing Left Back. Isn't he a midfielder? Anyone?

Assuming Rob won't be able to play, I'd put Jason Sabio in there. I predict a 3-5-2 for this one, considering I observe that the Uzbeks manage to target the midfield first. Juani, Sabio and Carli are the guys I presume to take the defense. Having De Jong and Marwin Angeles paired as holding mids, while James and Misagh take the wings and Angel being the attacking mid/second striker. Phil and Wolf are paired with each other. I'm quite doubtful of what should happen.

Halftime thoughts:
Uzbekistan reminds me so much of North Korea! -Very tight defense -Avoids offside traps -Very fast during counters. -Very strong midfield
Philippines' classic Weiss strategy getting to work...uncovincingly... -Nonexistent defense -Chaotic midfield -Misagh lacking spark -Phil/Denis combo isn't gelling great yet -James, though larger than UZB defenders, lacks goal vision
More thoughts later.

Halftime Azkals 0-2 UZB U23
We tried to smother them with quick counterattacks but UZB defense far faster than our forwards. They stop any attempts at crosses.
UZB quick to beat our offside trap, often leaving our goal being defended by Mueller alone.
On a good note, Sabio has vastly improved at CB.
I think we need to slow the game down and use smart, short passing. UZB is far faster than any of our players on the pitch. Gotta maintain composure.
