Just glad iran didnt bottle that vs qatar.. still far from impressive..
<br><br>And it is shocking to see South Korea struggle like this,they almost lost to Lebanon.Their matches against Uzbekistan and Iran will decide who will go through as direct qualifiers.<br><br>Also the play-off team this time will have no chance as opponent is going to be anyone between Chile,Venezuela and Uruguay.<br>
I would not say South Korea struggled. I did not watch the match but from what I saw via highlights they could have ran out 4-1 or 5-1 winners easy had they just tapped in some easy chances. It happens. Best thing for them is to just shake it off and focus on the next two matches (at home) against Uzbekistan and Iran. These two matches will be their toughest.
lebanon out...but they played well...givin a run 4 money to the likes of korea...kudos to them.....hope small teams will take as example and will think big next time.....especially India...

My Predictions:-<br>Australia, Uzbekistan and South Korea will qualify for World Cup. Iran will have to struggle later on against countries like Uruguay. Hard Luck Iran.<br>
Hoping Uzbekistan will hold out here, which would mean South Korea beating Iran. Sorry, I like the Uzbeks more though.<div><br></div><div>Australia and Japan is practically done.</div>
<p>Iran are not in a good situation here, Uzbek have easy outing against Qatar who are already out.<br><br>Australia will some how qualify with lucky wins, I'm sure they will be shit in 2014 finals.<br><br></p>
