A tie in the Lebanon - UAE game will really pave the way for us.

UAE Penalty ... and the 1-0 lead.

draw would've been better for us but a uae lead is better than a lebanon lead

Lol at our shans.

A tie would have been ideal but a UAE win is the next best thing for us.

Are you joking? Fantastic result for us. A win over Syria and we’re 10 points clear of 3rd place( 9 points if Iraq beats Korea) with 12 points left to play for.

actually doesn't matter. Even if it was a tie , Lebanon would have been 6 pts also just like uae now. Its just I prefer Lebanon over uae. Also this result will motivate Syria .

Our group is so bad, it's hilarious !!!!

Is it me or does something feel off about these qualifiers? I mean it's mostly the fans and stadiums. China/Australia (previously) playing home games in Qatar, half of our group being warttorn with no home games...The intense world cup qualifier atmosphere is missed!

I miss going to a packed Saitama/Seoul.....even that amazing dramatic comeback in Beirut felt strange due to the lack of crowd.

I had such Nostalgia I watched highlights of Iraq 1-2 Iran from 2002 qualifiers where Mirzapour gifted the Iraqis a goal, but then Daei won us the game towards the end. I believe that's the last time we played in Baghdad in an incredibly hostile and tense atmosphere....brought back goosebumps !

No difference IMO. UAE won’t win all of their next 4 games.
If they win 3 games( highly unlikely) we need to win 1( lol) and draw 1 of our remaining 5 games to finish infront of them.
It might even be enough with 1 win as our GD is much better.

If any team should win that game it was best for us it was uae. now the third team has 6 pts just as if it was a draw. the results keep going our way. Now we need to win this game and we are at 16 pts, and the third teaem at 6. thats a good margin!
