World Cup 2018 Qualification Gets Under Way

[GoIran]

korea 0-1 uzbekistan

[Tehranto]

Uli Stielike is gone if results stay the same.

The Uzbekis look like the better team.

[Omids]

Was watching Japan vs Saudi A game. I have to say the current TM will beat both those teams. They are not that good.

[Tehranto]

Korea pressuring but cannot convert their chances.

Is a draw the best result for us?

The current result is best for us.

If we win versus Syria, we will have 6 points and head to head against Korea = 7 points difference!

Basically 99% through.

Australia leads 1-0 against Thailand

[Tehranto]

Japan scores again!! woohooo

Japan 2 - Saudi 0

[AliKarimi8]

Japan have scored the 2nd goal.

Saudis bye

[AliKarimi8]

According to the current table the Saudis would have dropped from the 1st to the 3rd place

Terrible idea it is going to hurt the competetive nature of world cup a lot.

I disagree with you. World Cup with 48 teams (16 groups of three teams) is the best. Two teams from each group advances to the knockout stage. The winner of the WC will not play more than 7 games like current format.
