We are entering the second phase of World Cup qualification in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC). With league activities paused for the FIFA Matchday, Asian teams will proceed with the qualification process. To ensure you stay updated, we’ll guide you through the upcoming games, detailing their dates and times.



This phase of Asian qualification features a total of 36 national teams, organized into groups of four teams each. The top two teams from each group will not only advance to the next round but will also secure their spots in the upcoming Asian Cup.



During this FIFA window at the end of March, the fixtures will encompass Matchdays 3 and 4 for each group. These games could prove pivotal, as after the fourth Matchday, only two more will remain.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/j%C3%BCrgen-klinsmann" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jürgen Klinsmann</a> is not an easy person to digest, a legendary striker whose coaching career has been defined by his great philosophies but poor execution. With the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/us-national-team" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">USMNT</a>, Jürgen Klinsmann won only 1 Gold Cup in 2013, he would reach the semifinals of the Copa America Centenario, but was badly beaten by Colombia and Argentina along the way.



In 2014, the USMNT was able to get to the round of 16 at the World Cup in Brazil, but a monster effort by Tim Howard kept the US in a game they should have been down 5-0 by half time against Belgium. After 2014 it all went down hill as a generational change in the program saw the German find little answers as the USMNT would fail to qualify for 2018.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230816#BUS#47345"></div>


Before taking over <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Former-Germany-and-USMNT-coach-Jurgen-Klinsmann-set-for-new-job-according-to-report-20230223-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">South Korea</a>, Klinsmann quickly resigned from Hertha BSC, and now the former World Cup winner has not won a single game with South Korea going 0-2-2, the losses include defeats to Uruguay and Peru, with draws with Colombia and El Salvador. 



<h2>Why is Jürgen Klinsmann on hot seat?</h2>



According to Korean journalist Sungmo Lee, the former USMNT boss is in hot water over, “no wins in 4 games, no commitment for Korean football, having Zoom press conference with Korean media from the United States.”



The only way out for Klinsmann at this point would be to win the Asian Cup in 2024, but most of all the German needs to “show ‘commitment’ to Korean football, otherwise the situation could get worse.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230815#BUS#46561"></div>


Klinsmann owns a home in California, where he has spent much of his time post-retirement, he was last spotted on ESPN FC talking about Neymar and Lionel Messi’s moves to Saudi Arabia and MLS respectively.

It&rsquo;s either black or white when it comes to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/carlos-queiroz-slams-jurgen-klinsmann-after-comments-against-iran-culture-20221127-0018.html" target="_blank">J&uuml;rgen Klinsmann</a>, to some a visionary and philosopher, to others an out of control incoherent that is all talk and no bite. Whichever way you look at it, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-jurgen-klinsmann-notes-why-neymar-or-messi-could-win-the-world-cup-over-mbappe-or-ronaldo-20220723-0021.html" target="_blank">Klinsmann</a>&rsquo;s coaching career has been controversial. 
After a stellar run with Germany from 2004 - 2006, the former striker&rsquo;s time at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/PSG-vs-Bayern-TV-Channel-how-and-where-to-watch-or-live-stream-online-free-20222023-UEFA-Champions-League-in-your-country-20230213-0017.html" target="_blank">Bayern Munich</a> was a complete disaster, with Philipp Lahm stating that the players knew that after eight weeks &ldquo;it was not going to work&rdquo;. 
With the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/25-memorable-sports-stars-who-retired-and-then-came-back-20220317-0001.html" target="_blank">USMNT</a>, 2011-2016, based on who you talk to, Klinsmann was either a genius or a disaster. Klinsmann was able to rock the boat in the USSF and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mls-the-top-outgoing-transfers-to-date-20200903-0001.html" target="_blank">MLS</a> establishment with his quotes about Americans needing to test themselves more in Europe and building a better youth system, while that under and after Klinsmann has improved, the reality was on the field the team failed to play the possession and fluid game he promised. Near the end of this time the USMNT was a tactical mess with strange lineup changes and poor play. Between the ups and downs was a round of 16 exit in the 2014 World Cup and a semifinal appearance in the Copa America 2016. 
<h2>J&uuml;rgen Klinsmann analyzing South Korea</h2> 
J&uuml;rgen Klinsmann&rsquo;s lone accomplishment as a head coach was winning the 2013 Concacaf Gold Cup with the USMNT, as Landon Donovan led the squad to said championship. J&uuml;rgen Klinsmann repaid the all-time USMNT great by having him cut from the final World Cup roster only a year later.

Now according to Jason (Hanshin) Lee, &ldquo;J&uuml;rgen Klinsmann is the KFA's top candidate to replace Paulo Bento. Negotiations have progressed considerably, with salary and coaching staff issues largely resolved. The main hurdle seems to be whether Klinsmann will accept living in Korea for the next four years.&rdquo; 
Klinsmann would be a huge change from the attacking yet tactically aware coaches South Korea is used to having. Klinsmann is known for rattling the cages and making strange decisions to push a program forward. 
In total in his four positions as coach Klinsmann has a 55% winning percentage with his best mark being with Germany.
