Tuesday 12th April, 3rd round WCQ 2018 draw, time and live streaming..

[Iran_19]

Not a bad draw, but too much travelling(China and South korea)

[CHaMiLLionaire]

Fuck we got the harder group... and more travel.

[Bessos]

Lol KOREA again

And only 1 serious arab team! Qatar.

Syria is easy.

[Team Melli Fan]

Easy group, we should top it. Disappointed not to get Saudi Arabia or Iraq.

[sarbaz]

Hard group but I am glad we avoided Saudi Arabia

[04041374]

LOL the Irib Varzesh announcer just said jame jahanie suriye

[pres80]

Hard group man....

Neither is very easy but more arab teams = more emotions and drama, this way its more simple.

I don't think we should be afraid of any team regardless but group A to me has less non-footballing obstacles.

[bijbij]

Iraq instead of qatar would be perfect.

[elnino99]

Only one match away at a hostile arab venue. I'd take that ....

Glad we got Syria instead of Iraq, there was no way AFC would put both ISIS teams in the same group. Ditto with us and Saudi

[sarbaz]

Group B is definitely harder than ours

[Zamboor]

Iran, Korea, Uzbekistan, Syria, China and Qatar. Group A! #AFC #FIFAWC

Got to say this group is the easiest one but group B would have been so much more fun! Saudi, Iraq and Japan

[elnino99]

Iraq instead of qatar would be perfect.

There was no way AFC would put Iraq/Syria in the same group.

the ISIS derby and no home matches for either team. As predicted, it's been avoided.

The draw was so weird compared to UEFA draws, mind....

[K. Nader]

The less Arab teams, the better.

From an emotion-driven perspective, this must be the worst for South Korea. Historical tensions with China means that the Chinese are out to get them. Also, after what happened in the last qualifiers, the Uzbeks are out to get them.

[Bessos]

This is a good group. We will qualify directly.

But DAMN this group looks so much like the one 4 years ago:

Iran
S Korea
Uzbekistan
Qatar
Lebanon



Now Syria replaced Lebanon.

And China is added to the group.

And I think we are going to do even better this time than 4 years ago! We will qualify!!!

[perspolis#1]

China will steal points off Korea this time with at least one tie. If we pick up close to full points against Qatar/Syria and don't lose any match to China/Uzbekistan we are basically in.
