Going to be a cracking atmosphere. 

North Korea host South Korea Tuesday. It says the game will be in Pyongyang. 

Massive game between Uzbekistan and Yemen. Japan up 4:0 vs Mongolia after 40.

Dodd and McBreen up against Lippi in China

You must have it the other way around, it's 3-0 for China after 20 minutes.

Edit: 4-0 after 25 minutes. That GD is looking more and more important.

Japan v Mongolia and South Korea v Sri Lanka both end 6-0.

Not expecting any upsets today with pot 1 vs 5 but pot 2 vs 3 is definitely closer. Slowly but surely we should see teams drawing and limiting the maximum number of points 2nd place can get.

The issue 4 years ago was Indonesia's disqualification and the points against the bottom team of the group not counting towards the 2nd placed table. It was looking a bit scary for us until Jordan stuffed it against Kyrgyzstan and they themselves missed out completely.

8 Saudi Arabia 3 1 2 0 5 2 +3 5

*Should Qatar win Group E or be among the four best runners-up they will advance to the Asian Cup qualifying third round only.

The fifth best runner-up will take Qatar's place in the World Cup qualifying third round also advancing to the Asian Cup Finals in China.

It looks like Kyrgyzstan vs Japan actually kicked off at 10.20pm or so, Japan 1-0 up at HT.

Ramsay has scored for the Philippines who are 1-0 up away to the Maldives.

A goal fest between Myanmar and Tajikstan (Myanmar up 4-3 currently)

Lots of points dropped with these draws so far today. Also some surprises with pot 4 beating pot 3. This has affected the 2nd placed table dramatically. I don't really it being so even 4 years ago and we had that annoying element of points against the last placed team being excluded due to Indonesia's suspension.

I caught the last 15 or so of Korea v Lebanon. Koreans couldn't break through, stretcher brought out for Lebanon player with cramp, miraculously got up once he crossed the white line.

Iran in third after losing to Iraq.

UAE also dropping to third after a loss away in Vietnam. Thailand and Vietnam in the top two spots now.
