Hope all the Indonesian football lovers to be able to see the national team honor to be champions in the 2018 AFF Cup event does not seem to be running easily. As we know that AFF Cup 2018 uses a different format of competition, where each team that competes later can get a chance to play home and away.

That in the 2018 AFF Cup group draw, Indonesia should be incorporated into the group of hell along with the reigning champions Thailand. In addition, Indonesia also have to deal with two other great teams that had made the Indonesian national team overwhelmed in AFF Cup 2016 ago namely Singapore and the Philippines.

Different things actually gained by eternal rival Indonesian national team is Malaysia. Where the team nicknamed the Malay Tigers are joined together with countries that do not have a slick background in the AFF Cup.

If we see, it turns out the Indonesian national team back in one group along with Thailand, Philippines and Singapore which is none other than the opponent of the Indonesian national team in AFF Cup 2016 ago. Another team to be faced by Indonesian national team in Group B AFF 2018 Cup later is the winner between Brunei Darussalam and Timor Leste, where the two countries will compete for one ticket remaining.

Seeing this, it feels national team opportunities to be able to advance to the semifinals will be very difficult. Perhaps many who think that the Thai national team is the strongest opponents to be faced by the Indonesian national team, but the Philippine and Singapore national team also has a squad that is quite fierce with some naturalization players who became the mainstay.

In addition, the Philippine national team is one of the 2019 Asian Cup contestants along with Thailand and Vietnam which will represent Southeast Asia. But the Philippine national team seems to have a much better strength than the Indonesian national team, because they have a goalkeeper named Neil Etheridge who plays for Cardiff City.

So what about your opinion, are you sure the Indonesian national team is able to become champion AFF Cup 2018 this?
