Just learned that Hannover young gun Waldemar Anton has Uzbek heritage. I wouldn't be surprised if they checked on his eligibility.

Also Youtube. Link is in the relevant thread in AF.

Thanks man. Was looking on FOX sports and didn't see it listed.

"Tune into Fox Sports News and foxsports.com.au from 6.30pm EDT Tuesday to see where the Socceroos’ fate lies. "

Yep live on fox.

Anyone know if tonight's draw in on FOX or somewhere?

Not expectation wise. Situation wise.

India improving dramatically would be great for Asian football.

Not really. India are that dreadful at football. They've always been dreadful, but if anything they seem to be going backwards.

Can tell Coral are keeping a keen eye on the A-league. 500-1 on Central Coast to win the championship? shut up and take my money :lol:

What site is this.

Rofl

Given countries have figured out how to rig the rankings why not?
(If we make it)
I don't think or at least hope we wouldn't have such a tough draw.

To win the big one? :lol:

I put a tenner on that when it was $1001 on Bet365 a couple of weeks back, funny the odds only go down one dollar once we make it through Round 2!

tempting

India is one of the biggest disappoints of the qualifiers.

If they cant beat Guam it will be hard to qualify for the Asian Cup. Having India qualify again for the Asian Cup would be great for the AFC.

Because they're the "minor premiers" :lol:

How did you end up with China in Pot 4 and Qatar in Pot 5?

Got 5/8 on my multi last night. :(. Can't believe that the Philippines beat North Korea :o

I think we have the wood over the Japs at the moment.

Only conceivable change is UAE and Saudi swapping spots as 1st and 2nd if the UAE get the win, either way they both qualify.

FT 1-0 Iraq v Vietnam. 20 minutes to go in Iran, 2-0 up against Oman.

Lock it in: Australia, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iran, Japan, Thailand, South Korea and Uzbekistan in first, with Syria, China, UAE and Iraq as best 2nd placers for Round 3.

RIP East Timor, losing 7-0 to Palestine.

1-0 for the Saudis.

Vietnam just cant match them physically

If those Tony Abbotts met the ACL criteria and a Victory away game was on the cards it'd be all the sweeter.
