<h5>The group matches will be played on a home and away basis between February 22 and November 15, with the top two teams from each group advancing.
The 12 qualifiers will join the four hosts - Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia - at the finals, which kick off on July 9, 2007</h5>
<h3>South Asian Teams Analysis</h3>
Bangladesh has to compete with two highly competitive teams in Group F. Uzbekistan and Qatar. Uzbekistan was the quarter-finalist in China 2004. We also have Hong Kong in our group. In order for us to advance to the next round we would have to beat Qatar and Hong Kong.
India, I don't think they will make it to the next round, because they are facing heavy competion. They have to play against Japan and Saudi Arabia. Japan is the current defending champion. Japan and Saudi Arabia have both won the Asian Cup on three occasions. This means India is going no where.
Pakistan, They will have a tough time at the tournament.
Group C is likely to be hard fought, with Jordan, Oman and the United Arab Emirates battling for the top two spots. This means Pakistan will be left in the darkness.
In conclusion : Bangladesh is the only South Asian nation who is most likely to advance to the next round.
