Ouch. So even their fancy play against Bangladesh got nothing. The game changer was their loss to Kyrgyzstan. We were woeful in Amman.

85 minutes gone china 1-0

2-0 for China 88th minute!

:p

Kyrgyzstan leading Tajikistan 1:0 and on 14 points, 2 behind Jordan. Excellent effort.

Very happy for Kyrgyzstan, I'll be watching their Asian Cup campaign with interests. One of the great success stories of letting the smaller countries at the big boy's table in the new qualifying format. We certainly owe them for the points they took off Jordan!

FT China 2-0!

Goodbye Jordan.

That draw will bit NK on the arse i think

This is the same debate as "should a-league play concurrently on the last round". Iraq can play for a draw now and be pretty confident Oman wont win.

Vietnam now need 3-0 to go 10-7 10 points as well as Oman not to win to advance.

So the 2nd best teams going through will be Syria, China, UAE and one of North Korea, Iraq, Vietnam or Oman, but most likely Iraq as either a win or draw will seal it for them, only a win for Vietnam by three goals will do it for them, otherwise Iraq gets through on GD. An unlikely away win for Oman against Iran (albeit a dead rubber for them) will get them through in any case other than an Iraq win, however.

I think that covers it.

Iraq player bleeding like a little bitch.

UAE can still be knocked out if iraq and oman win

Time to get some sleep, look forward to seeing the full results tomorrow morning

Fair point, as it is for having groups with odd numbers of teams, especially considering the AFC could have filled out at least six of the eight round 1 groups with six teams, albeit extreme minnows.

Just jumped into the streams again. Can anyone fill me in with how things are looking?

Iraq are looking the goods though.

True, if they don't get a point at home to Saudi Arabia.

In fact, if the UAE win Saudi Arabia will become the top 2nd placed team on 13 points (not including their points won against East Timor), so either way the Saudis are through.

Even if Oman somehow win and UAE draw I don't see Oman making up a +10 GD on them.

if iraq win this NK are gone.

When is the UAE vs Saudi Arabia game?

Or draw.

02:00 AEST.

china are pretty certain to get through. iraq, uae and oman have to win for china to miss out. oman has to win by 6 goals against iran.

Yep safe to call China are through.

FM if Vietnam get the first goal Iraq has to push forward.

Iraq already time wasting though.

Iran v Oman just kicked off.
