Amazing how a tiny island nation of 700,000 can topple a nation of over a billion in a game of football.

Guam top of the group. I hope they qualify for the next round. Would be great fun playing them too.

Only 165,000 actually. India's population is close to [size=6]ten thousand times bigger[/size]!

There's being shit at football considering the amount of people you have, and then there's India.

Yeah, it's pretty mind boggling to think how dreadful they are. They struggle in the AFC Cup too.

Pakistan are worse... they have never won a world cup qualifier.

Their record is... played- 28; won- 0; drawn- 3; lost- 25. Scored 11 goals and conceded 115:lol:

Wtf :lol:

The inter confederation playoffs ended up as

Oceania vs SthAmerica (2nd leg at home for Sth America)
Nth America vs Asia (2nd leg at home for Asia)

Good news for AFC.

Better luck next time, New Zealand.

Bump.

I think a few people were trying to find this thread for the Asian world cup qualifiers

Please sticky this thread FFT mods !

So China drew 0 all with Hong Kong at home. Fucking LOL.

Searched all over and couldn't find this thread. Illuminati confirmed.

Funny about China but it gives Qatar a chance.

No surprising results so far otherwise.

UAE killing Malaysia. Jordan Kyrgyzstan starting now.

The Kyrgyz really taking it to Jordan here, could be a surprising result, which would be awesome for us.

Kyrgyzstan playing a good brand of football like the top Russian clubs, keeping the ball, a lot of one-touch play making space. They've worked their arses off.

HT 0-0 in Jordan. Kyrgyzstan so unlucky not to score at the end of the half, forcing a double save out of the Jordanian keeper.

Bloodbath UAE currently 10:0 vs Malaysia and Qatar 8:0 vs Bhutan at ht.

Iran ending Guam's winning streak. I was sure they'd sneak the points at Azadi. :lol:

0-0 between Jordan and Kyrgyzstan, leaving Australia 2 points clear.

Kyrgyzstan really could have won it a number of times, it's going to make the group very interesting.

Thank you Kyrgyzstan :d

China the future powerhouseof world football they comin guize

What the hell is happening in Malaysia?!

Seriously though, with all these floggings I can't see the AFC sticking with the current format. There is still way too much disparity between the top and bottom AFC nations for these groups to be interesting contests.

Hmmmm maybe although I suppose when you look elsewhere around the world the same sort of gaps do happen. When you've got teams like San Marino, Faroe Island and Liechtenstein going up against the European powerhouse similar scores could happen. The only fed where you don't really see it is South America.

North Korea are better than them lol.

Was watching the first half on BeIN before i fell asleep. hnnng at the Nork babes in the crowd tho \:d/

Only away team to win overnight was Best Korea

Home Teams outscored the Away Teams 73-3

Would hate to play Saudi Arabia here when full...

Are Syria playing in Syria or have they moved their home games to a neutral venue yet? I know for a short time all their domestic league games were being played in Damascus but I think the Syrian leagues have been suspended for a couple of years now for obvious reasons.

I know Iraq wanted to start playing home matches in Iraq again. I think they've held a few friendlies in the less dangerous cities. But I'm not sure if they're playing the WCQs in Iraq. I doubt many Australians would be comfortable playing there.

I should not only thank Kyrgyzstan for keeping us two points clear, but also for winning me $100. :cool:

The new Maldives manager is...

and a couple of good quality streams available tonight. Phillipines v Uzbekistan is my pick but it overlaps the Roos game.
