Photo from Tien's Instagram </p> </td> </tr> </table> <p class="Normal"> The travel restriction was imposed by the Dak Lak Provincial Police, following earlier action against Tien, who was fined VND25 million (US$969) for failing to disclose that her promotional social media posts about the product were sponsored—an apparent breach of advertising regulations. </p> <p class="Normal"> In Dec. 2024, Tien announced a collaboration with online influencers Pham Quang Linh and Nguyen Thi Thai Hang to launch Kera Supergreens Gummies . On her Facebook account, which boasts over 2.6 million followers, Tien promoted the product, describing it as a convenient and nutritious snack suitable for both children and adults, claiming "a gummy contains a dish’s worth of vegetables." </p> <p class="Normal"> However, a consumer later discovered discrepancies between the advertised ingredients and the actual content of the product after taking it to the Quality Assurance and Testing Center 2 for testing. The results revealed that the entire 30-gummy box contained only 0.51 grams of fiber, far less than advertised, leading to public backlash. </p> <p class="Normal"> In response to the complaints, Tien removed the related posts from her Facebook page. </p> <p class="Normal"> The Ho Chi Minh City Food Safety Department later released the results of a product test for Kera Supergreens Gummies, conducted at the request of the Ministry of Health’s Food Safety Department. The department confirmed that the test results for the gummies showed the levels of sugar, protein, fat, and energy content "were generally consistent with the official Product Self-Declaration." However, the product’s packaging did not mention fiber content, despite the product being marketed as a fiber supplement. </p> <p class="Normal"> Given these findings, officials determined that Kera Supergreens Gummies is not a "fake" item. </p> <p class="Normal"> Tien, Linh, and Hang were later called in for interrogation, during which they all confessed to supplying incorrect details regarding the product. Linh and Hang each received fines of 140 million Vietnamese dong for their deceptive advertisements, whereas Tien offered a public apology. </p> <p class="Normal"> At just 26 years old, Tien became the first Vietnamese competitor to make history by winning the contest. Miss Grand International title. </p>

NATO Backtracks on Death of 4 U.S. Soldiers in Lithuania

<p> <strong> NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg initially stated that four U.S. service members died during a training operation. Nevertheless, NATO subsequently corrected this information, noting that the soldiers remain unaccounted for and their status continues to be uncertain. </strong> </p> <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BIsLe" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BIsLe.jpg"/> <p> On Wednesday, after reports emerged stating that four U.S. soldiers lost their lives during a training exercise near the Lithuanian-Belarusian border, NATO stated that these claims were unconfirmed. </p> <p> NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte stated on Wednesday that the four soldiers died "in an incident in Lithuania." Nevertheless, NATO subsequently mentioned that the US military had not verified any fatalities. </p> <p> NATO stated in an announcement made on X that the search continues. They expressed their regret over any misunderstandings regarding comments [Rutte] made earlier today. His reference was toward new information circulating but did not confirm the status of those who remain unaccounted for, as their situation remains uncertain. </p> <p> The U.S. military has verified that the vehicle carrying the soldiers was discovered underwater in a body of water; however, rescue operations are continuing. </p> <p> Earlier, Lithuania's military stated that they were looking for the soldiers, who were reported as missing on Tuesday afternoon. </p> <h3> Search ongoing </h3> <p> On Thursday, Lithuania’s Defense Ministry stated that a search was continuing and “every scenario is under consideration.” </p> <p> "Currently, there is no verified data, nor have any remains been discovered. Hence, it would be entirely inaccurate to assert that the soldiers are deceased," stated Defense Minister Dovile Sakaliene. </p> <p> The US Army stated that the soldiers were engaged in "planned tactical exercises when the incident occurred." </p> <p> The four soldiers belonging to the 1st Brigade of the 3rd Infantry Division were conducting exercises inside an armored Hercules vehicle that had been reclaimed. </p> <p> Both Lithuanian and international forces employed military helicopters in the hunt for the missing soldiers, receiving support from officials of the State Border Guard Service. </p> <p> Lieutenant General Charles Costanza, commanding officer of V Corps, stated, "I want to extend my personal gratitude to the Lithuanian military forces and emergency responders who promptly assisted us with our search efforts." </p> <p> Lithuania, which is part of both NATO and the EU, accommodates over 1,000 American soldiers who are deployed within its borders on a rotating schedule. </p> <p> <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/video/AA1zHwMV" data-reference="video"/> </p> <p> <i> Correction: A previous iteration of this piece mistakenly reported that the U.S. military had confirmed the deaths of American soldiers during training exercises in Lithuania. The update now includes NATO’s statement that the status of the individuals who went missing remains uncertain. We regret the mistake. </i> </p> <p> <i> Edited by: Wesley Rahn, Wesley Dockery </i> </p> <p> Author: Jon Shelton (alongside contributions from AP, AFP, dpa, and Reuters) </p>

World Cup qualifiers: UAE misfire in Iran, Salem Al Dawsari revives Saudi Arabia and Kluivert’s tough start

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1Bn34N" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1Bn34N.jpg"/> <p> The first side to advance to the 2026 World Cup – other than hosts United States, Canada and Mexico – was decided on Thursday. </p> <p> Although Japan’s progress to the main event has been serene, the UAE and Saudi Arabia continue to tread a potted path in their qualifying campaigns. </p> <h2> <b> Misfiring UAE </b> </h2> <p> The <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/sport/football/2025/03/20/brazilians-africans-and-an-englishman-the-changing-face-of-uae-team-ahead-of-crucial-world-cup-qualifiers/?_gl=1*yzawcn*_up*MQ..&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzYHeyYOx_gIVio1oCR2hVQImEAAYASAAEgJK7vD_BwE"> changes in the fabric of the UAE team </a> have been so dramatic in recent times, that if success does not immediately follow, criticism is inevitable. </p> <p> The national team gave debuts to two more naturalised Brazilians against Iran in Tehran. Caio Lucas, the free-scoring Sharjah forward, and Lucas Pimenta, the centre-back, are the latest recruits to the big transformation of the national team. </p> <p> Expecting them both to be up to speed immediately is harsh, but both looked lost at times in a side which misfired when something spectacular was required. </p> <p> Gaps frequently appeared in the new five-man backline, in which Pimenta was centrally placed. And, as the man furthest forward, Lucas was often left isolated in attack. </p> <p> <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/sport/football/2025/03/20/iran-v-uae-paulo-bentos-side-see-world-cup-hopes-hit-by-defeat-in-tehran/?_gl=1*14gik55*_up*MQ..&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzYHeyYOx_gIVio1oCR2hVQImEAAYASAAEgJK7vD_BwE"> The UAE fell a long way short of what was required </a> , and the 2-0 loss could be terminal for their hopes of an automatic top two qualifying berth from this round of Asian qualifying. </p> <p> With three matches to play, they are nine points behind Iran, and six behind second-placed Uzbekistan, who they host in June. They will need a vast improvement when they face North Korea in Riyadh on Tuesday. </p> <div> <span data-embed-id="16249dbb26804d64879122048eba385f" data-embed-type="social-auto"> </span> </div> <h2> <b> Dynamic Al Dawsari </b> </h2> <p> Saudi Arabia have some momentous challenges ahead in the three group stage fixtures that remain. They face undefeated Japan on Tuesday, and – either side of a game against Bahrain – host Australia on the final match day in June, in what seems likely to be the decisive fixture. </p> <p> They are still within touching distance of an automatic place thanks to their talisman, <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/sport/football/2023/10/31/salem-al-dawsari-wins-afc-mens-asian-player-of-the-year-award/?_gl=1*iqlwel*_up*MQ..&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzYHeyYOx_gIVio1oCR2hVQImEAAYASAAEgJK7vD_BwE"> Salem Al Dawsari </a> . His goal gave them a 1-0 win over China in Riyadh, which maintains their place in third in the group, a point behind Australia. </p> <p> <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/sport/football/2024/10/21/al-hilal-beat-al-ain-in-nine-goal-acl-thriller-as-al-dawsari-and-rahimi-hit-hat-tricks-and-neymar-returns/?_gl=1*iqlwel*_up*MQ..&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzYHeyYOx_gIVio1oCR2hVQImEAAYASAAEgJK7vD_BwE" title="https://www.thenationalnews.com/sport/football/2024/10/21/al-hilal-beat-al-ain-in-nine-goal-acl-thriller-as-al-dawsari-and-rahimi-hit-hat-tricks-and-neymar-returns/?_gl=1*iqlwel*_up*MQ..&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzYHeyYOx_gIVio1oCR2hVQImEAAYASAAEgJK7vD_BwE"> The fact Al Dawsari came up with the goods </a> when required was no surprise, but the encounter with China was far from plain sailing. </p> <p> The home players were visibly upset by a head injury suffered by Ali Lajami, their defender. He was booted in the forehead by Lin Liangming while ducking down to head clear, and was treated on the field for the best part of 10 minutes before being stretchered off. </p> <p> Liangming was sent off, and the home team regained their poise, with Al Dawsari providing the decisive strike in the second half. </p> <div> <span data-embed-id="856a09ba87394efc914df5125b27c6ec" data-embed-type="social-auto"> </span> </div> <h2> <b> Tough baptism for Kluivert </b> </h2> <p> If the UAE are transitioning to a side with more overseas-born players than has been traditional, then they are not the only ones. </p> <p> The face of the Indonesian side has also been entirely altered. Their squad for this qualifying window includes more players who were born in Europe than in Indonesia – the majority of whom are from the Netherlands. </p> <p> If the fact there were so many people of Indonesia-origin in the Netherlands was news to the uninitiated, then probably so, too, was the fact there are so many in Australia. </p> <p> The stands in Sydney were awash with the red shirts of Indonesia’s national team, and optimism abounded ahead of their game against Australia. </p> <p> Dutchman Jordi Cruyff is technical advisor to the Indonesian FA, and former Netherlands striker Patrick Kluivert was overseeing his first game in charge. The power of celebrity counted for nothing, though, as they were thrashed 5-1. </p> <h2> <b> Japan sail on </b> </h2> <p> <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/uae/2024/02/21/president-sheikh-mohamed-welcomes-fifa-chief-gianni-infantino-to-abu-dhabi/"> Gianni Infantino </a> , the Fifa president, was poised and ready to get his comms team to press send on the congratulations message to the first side to make it to the World Cup. </p> <p> On Thursday afternoon, Japan booked their place, alongside hosts United States, Canada and Mexico, when they beat Bahrain 2-0. </p> <p> “Omedetou [congratulations], Japan, for being the first country to qualify for the Fifa World Cup 26 in addition to the host countries: Canada, Mexico and the United States of America,” Infantino said. </p> <p> “You deserve this qualification. We all remember the emotions of the last World Cup in Qatar, the emotions that you gave to the entire world in a thrilling qualifying stage, passing the group stage. And we all remember you, as well, as a brilliant co-host of the 2002 Fifa World Cup. See you in North America in 2026.” </p> <p> Daichi Kamada, the Japan forward, put it in rather less robotic terms. “We know this isn’t normal and we had a lot of trouble qualifying last time,” Kamada said. “We’re relieved and happy.” </p> <h2> <b> Iraq stay in touch </b> </h2> <p> While Japan are World Cup finals regulars, not everyone enjoys such regular passage to the big show. </p> <p> Iraq have been to the World Cup once before, back in 1986. They had seemed well set for the second qualifying place in their group, behind leaders South Korea, until they fell two goals behind against Kuwait in Basra. </p> <p> They fought back to force a 2-2 draw with thrilling stoppage time goals from Akam Hashim and Ibrahim Bayesh. </p> <p> Two dropped points means they dropped behind Jordan on goal difference into third place, but with three games left there is everything to play for. </p> <div> <span data-embed-id="121aab67308f41ac849931bc7b4e6b7f" data-embed-type="social-auto"> </span> </div>

Media Inggris The Guardian: Kemenangan Indonesia Bisa Jadi Pukulan Berat untuk Australia

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BgLz9" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BgLz9.jpg"/> <p> <strong> Penggemar sepak bola Inggris memberikan perhatian yang sangat besar pada pertandingan antara Tim Nasional Indonesia versus Australia di babak kualifikasi Piala Dunia 2026. </strong> </p> <p> Pertandingan persahabatan hari ke tujuh babak grup C ronde ketiga kualifikasi Piala Dunia 2026 antara tim nasional Indonesia dan Australia akan dilangsungkan pada tanggal 20 Maret 2025 di Sydney. </p> <p> Pertandingan antara Timnas Indonesia melawan Australia tidak hanya mendapat perhatian dari penonton di kawasan Asia Tenggara dan bahkan seluruh benua Asia, tapi juga mengundang minat pecinta sepak bola di Benua Biru. </p> <p> Publik Inggris melalui salah satu surat kabar terkemuka mereka, The Guardian, juga mengambil perhatian pertandingan antara Indonesia dan Australia dalam babak kualifikasi Piala Dunia 2026. </p> <p> Terutama mengenai kejutan dari tim Garuda, harapan para pemain Merah Putih di panggung internasional telah berubah, tidak lagi sama seperti dahulu kala. </p> <p> Mencapai tahap ketiga kualifikasi ini sudah cukup bagi Indonesia baru-baru ini, namun hasrat mereka telah berubah daripada sebelumnya. </p> <p> Sebagaimana tampak dari hasil seri 0-0 yang dimainkan ketat melawan Socceroos di Jakarta pada September lalu, demikian tertulis dalam artikel The Guardian. </p> <p> Kehadiran Patrick Kluivert menggantikan posisi Shin Tae-yong mendapat perhatian dari The Guardian, serta disebutkan pula kebijakan naturalisasi pemain berketurunan yang telah konsistently dijalankan. </p> <p> Australia memang pernah dikenal karena sejumlah pemain sepak bola ternama di Eropa, tetapi saat ini semuanya berkebalikan dan malah Indonesia yang memiliki hal tersebut. </p> <p> </p> <p> Tim nasional Indonesia diyakini memiliki jumlah pemain yang lebih besar yang berasal dari karir mereka di Eropa dibandingkan dengan tim tuan rumah dalam turnamen tersebut. </p> <p> "Pertandingan minggu ini di Sydney adalah yang pertama bagi mantan penyerang Barcelona itu." </p> <p> "Sejak mengambil pekerjaan yang diberikan kepadanya karena banyaknya hubungan Belanda di tim tersebut." </p> <p> "Program naturalisasi besar-besaran tidak menunjukkan tanda-tanda akan berhenti, dengan para pemain masih menuju kedutaan besar Indonesia di Eropa hampir setiap bulan." </p> <p> "Memang, jika Anda memberi tahu orang-orang seperti Tim Cahill, Mark Viduka, dan Harry Kewell pada tahun 2006." </p> <p> "Ketika Australia memasuki sepak bola Asia bahwa kurang dari dua dekade kemudian." </p> <p> "Indonesia akan tiba di Sydney untuk kualifikasi Piala Dunia dengan lebih banyak pemain yang berbasis di Eropa daripada tuan rumah," tulis The Guardian lagi. </p> <p> Selanjutnya, The Guardian mengatakan bahwa Tim Nasional Indonesia berlaku dengan tidak gentar dan tidak merasa akan diintimidasi saat bertanding di Sydney. </p> <p> </p> <p> Tim Garuda hadir bersama sejumlah pemain yang telah memiliki jam terbang tinggi di Eropa, sementara beberapa lainnya juga aktif di pentas sepak bola Asia. </p> <p> Oleh karena itu, media asal Inggris tersebut menegur pendukung Australia bahwa kalahnya tim nasional Indonesia dalam pertandingan ini bakal menjadi penderitaan yang mendalam. </p> <p> Ini adalah fakta sebenarnya: Tidak ada ketakutan, tidak ada perasaan ancaman atau khawatir terkait pertarungan fisik. </p> <p> Indonesia memiliki pengalaman serupa dengan tuan rumahnya terkait karir mereka di Eropa maupun Asia, walaupun sebagian pemain perlu mengimbangi ketinggian tersebut. </p> <p> Para pendukung setia Australia pasti merasakan kesakitan dengan kekalahannya tim nasionalnya di hadapan publik sendiri melawan Timnas Indonesia. </p> <p> "Tetap saja, ini mengindikasikan bahwa kedua negara jiran tersebut mampu berkompetisi satu sama lain guna mencapai pencapaian yang lebih baik," demikian dilansir The Guardian. </p>

Vietnam Media Ungkap Peluang Timnas Indonesia Lolos ke Piala Dunia 2026 dan Ancaman Pemecatan Patrick Kluivert

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/BB1rjnNJ" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/BB1rjnNJ.jpg"/> <p> <strong> Tim nasional sepak bola Indonesia kini berada pada kondisi yang cukup menguntungkan untuk tampil dengan keyakinan tinggi dan memberikan performa terbaik mereka di pertarungan meraih tempat di Piala Dunia 2026. </strong> </p> <p> Pada edisi sebelumnya, yaitu Piala AFF atau ASEAN Cup 2024, tim nasional sepak bola Indonesia tereliminasi dengan cepat pada fase grup. </p> <p> Meskipun demikian, tim Garuda yang ikut serta dalam kompetisi itu sebagian besar terdiri dari atlet muda berumur di bawah 21 tahun. </p> <p> Beberapa nama terkenal seperti Rafael Struick, Marselino Ferdinand, dan Muhammad Ferrari juga ikut bertanding, namun mereka belum cukup bersaing untuk mendorong Tim Nasional Indonesia maju ke tahap selanjutnya. </p> <p> Setelah gagal dalam ajang ASEAN Cup 2024, PSSI kemudian mengambil keputusan untuk mendepak pelatih utama Shin Tae-yong dan melanjutkan dengan Patrick Kluivert sebagai gantinya. </p> <p> Dibimbing oleh Kluivert, sebuah sumber media dari Vietnam (Danviet.vn) mengklaim bahwa Tim Nasional Indonesia berencana fokus seluruh usaha mereka demi mewujudkan ambisi sebenarnya yaitu kualifikasi menuju Piala Dunia 2026. </p> <p> </p> <p> "Mungkin kegagalan pada ASEAN Cup 2024 bukanlah hal yang terlalu signifikan untuk PSSI," demikian tertulis dalam laporan oleh Danviet. </p> <p> Sebenarnya, sasarannya utama adalah mengkonsentrasikan seluruh usaha untuk kualifikasi putaran ketiga Piala Dunia 2026 di zona Asia. </p> <p> Tempat ini adalah lapangan permainan untuk Timnas Indonesia yang mengandalkan tim terbaiknya dengan sejumlah pemain asing yang telah menjadi warga negara. </p> <p> Sebagaimana telah diketahui, pada babak ketiga kualifikasi Piala Dunia 2026, tim nasional Indonesia berada di grup C bersama dengan Jepun, Australia, Arab Saudi, Bahrain, serta Tiongkok. </p> <p> Dibimbing oleh Shin Tae-yong, tim nasional sepak bola Indonesia mampu menduduki posisi ketiga dalam tabel sementara Grup C setelah mengikuti keenam pertandingan yang tersedia. </p> <p> Jay Idzes dan kawan-kawannya mengamankan 6 poin, jumlah yang sama dengan tiga negara lain di posisi lebih rendah yakni Arab Saudi, Bahrain, serta China. </p> <p> Empat tim itu cuma unggul satu angka saja dari Australia yang menempati peringkat kedua dengan 7 poin. </p> <p> Meskipun begitu, Jepang tetap berada di posisi tertinggi dalam tabel dengan koleksi 16 poin serta tanpa kekalahan sampai saat ini. </p> <p> Menurut data diambil dari halaman Transfermarkt, total nilai tim nasional Indonesia yang dipilih oleh Kluivert pada Maret ini sebesar 36,53 juta euro. </p> <p> Angka tersebut menempatkan Timnas Indonesia sebagai juara keenam untuk daftar tim dengan nilai tertinggi di Asia, dan angkanya melebihi dari negara pesaing selanjutnya yaitu Australia. </p> <p> Daftar pemain berdarah campuran yang telah dinafikan seperti Mees Hilgers, Emil Audero, Kevin Diks, Jay Idzes, Calvin Verdonk, Maarten Paes, Thom Haye dan lainnya diharapkan dapat membawa tim nasional Indonesia mencapai prestasi optimal. </p> <p> Pertandingan selanjutnya untuk tim nasional Indonesia akan menghadapi tuan rumah Australia pada tanggal 20 Maret 2025, dan empat hari setelah itu bertemu dengan Bahrain di kandang sendiri pada tanggal 25 Maret 2025. </p> <p> Danviet menganggap pertandingan lawan Australia selanjutnya bakal jadi laga penentuan untuk Timnas Indonesia. </p> <p> "Jelas bahwa pertandingan ini merupakan laga hidup-mati bagi Tim Nasional Indonesia karena bila mengalamai kekalahan, harapan mereka untuk maju secara otomatis ke Piala Dunia 2026 lewat babak kualifikasi ketiga akan semakin suram," demikian tertulis dalam laporannya. </p> <p> Kesepakatan ini bisa jadi membuat Indonesia tergeser dari peringkat empat yang sekarang diduduki, namun hasilnya sudah cukup untuk menyenangkan mereka. </p> <p> Timnas Indonesia akan bermain di markas mereka pada tanggal 25 Maret menghadapi tim dari Bahrain. </p> <p> Tanpa diragukan lagi, ini adalah laga yang wajib dimenangi tim nasional Indonesia guna mempertahankan semangat dan terus maju ke tahap berikutnya. </p> <p> Untuk kedua pertandingan yang tersisa pada bulan Juni nanti, Timnas Indonesia diperkirakan dapat mengamankan poin saat berhadapan dengan China dan Jepang. </p> <p> Berikutnya, pada tanggal 5 Juni, skuad Indonesia bakal menghadapi pasukan China di markas mereka sendiri. Pertarungan ini merupakan kesempatan emas bagi Timnas Indonesia untuk mendapatkan tiga angka penuh," sebut Danviet. </p> <p> Pada tanggal 10 Juni, pasukan Indonesia bakal bermain dalam laga pamungkas Grup C pada fase kualifikasi ketiga sewaktu berkunjung ke Jepang. </p> <p> Pada saat tersebut, tim Jepang mungkin telah sukses mendapatkan tempat di Piala Dunia 2026; oleh karena itu, mereka tidak pasti dapat mempertahankan komitmennya pada tingkat puncak. Ini memberikan peluang kepada tim Indonesia untuk bermimpi bisa menghasilkan keajaiban. </p> <p> Jika tidak berhasil menyelesaikan lomba di peringkat kedua teratas dalam tabel klasemen Grup C dan memperoleh tempat langsung menuju Piala Dunia, Timnas Indonesia tetap harus berusaha finish pada urutan ketiga atau keempat. </p> <p> Kelompok peringkat ketiga dan keempat nanti akan bertarung dalam laga kualifikasi selanjutnya, di mana mereka akan bersaing melawan masing-masing dua tim wakil dari Grup A dan B. </p> <p> Enam tim itu akan dipecah menjadi dua kelompok dengan masing-masing kelompok terdiri dari tiga tim. </p> <p> Tim yang sukses memenangi grup akan maju ke Piala Dunia, sementara tim tersebut <em> runner-up </em> akan berkompetisi sampai ke tahap akhir <em> play-off </em> . </p> <p> Dengan melihat kondisi terkini, Danviet menganggap bahwa tim nasional sepak bola Indonesia memiliki kesempatan untuk memperoleh tempat langsung di Piala Dunia 2026 jika mereka berhasil menyelesaikan musim di urutan kedua tabel klasemen. </p> <p> Akan tetapi, jika tim nasional Garuda tersingkir dari peringkat empat besar di grup C, Kluivert berpotensi kehilangan posisinya sebagai pelatih kepala Tim Nasional Indonesia. </p> <p> "Singkatnya, tim Indonesia masih memiliki kesempatan untuk mengejar posisi kedua di Grup C pada tahap kualifikasi ketiga," jelas Danviet. </p> <p> Pada skenario paling buruk, mereka bisa tetap berkompetisi untuk meraih tempat keempat di klasemen tersebut dan selanjutnya melakukan analisis yang lebih rinci. </p> <p> Bila Indonesia cuma menduduki peringkat kelima atau keenam dalam grup C, jelas tim tersebut akan tereliminasi dan hal ini mungkin mengakibatkan pecatnya sang pelatih Kluivert beserta staf tekniknya. </p> <p> Serunya menanti, tim nasional sepak bola Indonesia yang ditangani oleh Kluivert berhasil membuktikan kebolehannya dengan mendapatkan tempat di Piala Dunia 2026. </p>
