Even if we encountered the Japanese soccer world power, our second team of soccer to fight against it is not impossible, because no matter how strong our lineup, and the national football team will inevitably lose. Why don't we find another way? For example, in the Bahrain tournament first layout, so that the players in this campaign to harvest a yellow card, to be with Japan to meet the occasion, the common accumulation of yellow card ban. In this way, the next March against Saudi Arabia, the players will be expected to come back. Although this move is a little bit of "trickery", but from the point of view of the application of the rules, there is nothing wrong, and FIFA can hardly be faulted. In short, this is the ancient "Tian Ji Race Horse" strategy.
Unfortunately, Ivankovic did not follow this strategy. Throughout the match, only one player, Byeloram, tried to "shuffle the cards", while the rest of the six internationals failed to do so. If they get another yellow card in the match against Japan, they will face a ban next March. In short, Ivankovic failed to take full advantage of the rules, and the "shuffle" became a flaw in the game. Although it is a minor point, but it may lay a hidden danger for the subsequent preliminaries.
