Unless this results in us drawing a powerhouse team, coughpolandcough, in the 1st round of the knockout phase, this loss means nothing. 5-3 with good PD is enough to see us through and from there we'll only have to outlast a few other teams. And even if we fall short, I doubt that the other Asian teams in the final 32 (Indonesia is 1-4 so they won't be making it) will be able to fully capitalise on the HCA advantage anyway.
