Group A: South Korea, Iran, Uzbekistan, Lebanon, Qatar Group B: Australia, Japan, Iraq, Jordan, Oman VERY HAPPY with this draw.
Really wanted to avoid Qatar more than anyone. Plus, would have preferred to have Japan in our group than Iran, and Iraq over Uzbekistan. Damn.
The woman who was talking was nice. Does anyone know her name? Anyway, we really need to get it together with Qatar. Uzbeckistan is the great unknown. I would have preferred Iraq over Uzbeckistan to be honest. I think Australia and Japan will qualify in Group B with third place going to Jordan.
korea again wtf, I'm tired of playing Korea in every Asian cup and WCQ. I wanted AUS. Also Qatar >>> we have a hard time getting points in Qatar for some weird ass reason.
I didn't like the draw, seems that all this done for Qatar, they all knew which ball to take, especially the presenter
That's interesting, cause we got 3 out of the 4 teams I wanted. Only one I didn't want was Jordan (over Lebanon).
Jordan was in Qatars pot. Lebanon in Omans pot. I would have rathered Iran (sick of playing Japan) The Uzbecks are better than Iraq, but they seem to fold against us where Iraq plays out of their skin. Jordan is better than Qatar IMO, and Qatar also seem to fall over against us. Oman is better than Lebanon.
Only if SK and Australia could switch places, it would be that more exciting. South Korea would face their arch-rival Japan. I wouldnt say Australia and Iran are rivals in that caliber, but we both have been wanting to face each other in an official competitive game ever since 97. Pretty amazing that we have avoided each other, seeing as how Australia became a member of AFC in 2006. Oh well, maybe some other time...
Maybe the wish of some Iranian fans comes true, and Australia ends up meeting Iran in the 5th round playoffs.
How about we organise a friendly at your place before one competitive round just for shits 'n giggles.
Interesting.

why are people constantly complaining about the draw. Unless you have proof that it was rigged then it is what it is. Make a different outcome then.
Im not opposed to an exhibition match with Australia though. Would be a great friendly. But obviously it wouldnt have that same excitement, and none of the players would feel the same sense of urgency where a lot would be at stake.
