Team of the tournament so far: India. That 2nd half by India was amazing. Great pace by the players with great first touches. This team can shock a few if taken lightly.

The second goal by India today was awesome. The Jordan result shouldn't be too surprising either; they've caused upsets in the past. For example, in the 2011 AC, they beat Saudi Arabia and drew with Japan in the group stage to qualify for the QF. Palestine - Syria has been the worst match so far but at least the game had a proper atmosphere.
Still waiting for one of the powerhouses to produce a 'statement' game. Iran, China, and South Korea are all up tomorrow so it should be an interesting day.

I'm not gonna lie, especially after seeing all the shock results last couple of days, I think group C could be very interesting.
Korea won't have Son for the groupstage, China is very inconsistent and prone to shock results and Kyrgyzstan had some great friendly results (beat Jordan and Palestine for example).
It's a shame that Etheridge refused to leave Cardiff to play for Philippines, what a disgrace. Miss out on the nation's first major tournament becuase of a couple of league games. Else, even Philippines would have been quite competitive!

Day 2 Analysis:
Day 2 top headlines might have been overshadowed by the defeat of Aussies in the hands of well defensively-organized Jordan. However, equally as important was the rise of calm and cool India who enjoyed the biggest margin win of the tournament so far. They not only topped their group but also registered S. Chittri as the top scorer at the end of the day. India's chances to go too far in this tournament, may not be all that high, but today's performance was enough to send a message to the rest of their group mates, to not to take them lightly.
The implications of Day 2 events, could potentially see Australia and UAE finishing second in their respective groups, but it may be too early to travel on that assumption and offer full analysis as both teams still have the chance to claim the top spot.
