Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread
Indonesia vs Bahrain match will take place tomorrow and it is reported that Indonesian goalkeeper Maarten Paes has arrived there and has undergone joint training session, but there is no certainty whether he will really be included in the main squad for the match that will take place tomorrow.
What is clear in statement delivered by the coach shows that the medical team is still continuing to see how Maarten Paes injury recovery is progressing and for definite decision on how his condition will continue to defend Indonesia will be based on how his recovery is progressing, if possible and ready to play we can definitely see Maarten Paes on the field, this is something that fans really want.
I see the opportunities for Indonesia and Bahrain are almost equal which even the odds of both can be said to be quite high, I take two betting options in one slip and that is Double Chance draw or Indonesia also Over 1.5 and in this slip I get odds @2.19.

I have not been a follower of Asian National teams since their games are not as popular or interesting as we see in Europe. But the emphasis you placed on Maarten Paes made me do some research about him. His story is an inspiring one that shows his love for his roots. Maarten is a former Netherlands international who naturalized in Indonesia to be part of the national team. He has already had an impressive two games where he made some good saves, and I hope he is fit to continue his good work for Garuda. Maarten, who plays for MLS side FC Dallas, believes that Indonesia can make it to the world, and that is his biggest dream.
