Seeding groups for the next round

[Omid177]

Australia - because we never played against them since they joined AFC

Iraq - because we're not allowed to play at home against Saudi and also it's fun humbling those cocky Iraqis

China - because unlike UAE they're not Arab and it's always an advantage not to play Arabs

Syria - because Branko has a lot of information about Iranian players and that might make our life a little difficult

Vietnam - because Lebanon would lose on purpose to other Arab teams like they did against Qatar during WCQ 2014

How many teams qualify to WC from each group in the 3rd round?

2 per group
3rd place each group playoffs
Winner
Play another continent

[Iran_19]

With Uzbek and Jordan, Bahrain out, this is much weaker 12 teams and very much doable.

Imagine if Carlos comes back and we face Oman (Branko)
The meeting between Carlos and Branko would be fierce.

This would be the ideal group I agree (with Syria and Oman interchangeable)

Australia
Iraq
China
Oman/Syria
Vietnam

For once, we won't have to deal with Uzbekistan in the next round.. They're always a headache to play against.

I like playing them. Even we play bad - we usually beat them.
The one time we played really well against them, we lost (1-0 in Azadi thanks to Rahmati's sooti). I'd rather play them than any of the anti-football teams in our region.
