Really? Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Oman, and Qatar can all easily give those teams a run for their money.

I think you're underrating the other teams man. Qatar (which is the weakest team out of those that I have mentioned) gave the strongest team you mentioned (Japan) a run for their money in the Asian Cup. It was only a last minute winner from Japan that allowed them to beat Qatar.

Saudi Arabia, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and Iran form the top tier of Asian teams. Qatar, New Zealand, Iraq, Oman, Bahrain, and North Korea form the 2nd tier imo.

But either way, Any of the teams mentioned in this thread can beat any Asian team.

Edit: New Zealand are in Oceania, not Asia.

i just dont think much will change, we'll see.

oh yeah i was wrong about NZ. last time they versed a afc team for a play off to the WC. its been changed to a team from the americas.

Given that my country (Philippines) has already taken one hell of a step (3-0 down against the 100-ranked team in the world is already big, no kidding), I can now focus on seeing the other matchups

I hope Bahrain make it to the WC Proper this time, in addition to the usual giants. If not them, then Saudi/Iran.

We qualified to the next round. AWWW YEEAAAH

Lebanon currently losing 4-2 but so are Kuwait. Congrats to Lebanon for qualifying

This video shows the Iran-Bahrain Hatred/Rivalry

Notice 1:28 in particular

BTW Thanks Australia for not throwing the game. You easily could have so kudos.

If Iran win and if Bahrain score a few more goals they qualify instead of Qatar :lol!:

Time for Carlos to take Ashkan off. I don't want those dirty rats to qualify

This is only the second time we've made the final round of qualifiers.
