Iran will play its first match on September 5, 2019.

Hope to face Iraq in this Round.

[Dortmund]

Would rather not have a super easy group. With our situation with friendlies, we need good competition in these first rounds to keep the team sharp for the next round.

12 Groups? Only the winner advance, right?

12 Groups? Only the winner advance, right?

8 Groups
the 8 group winners and the best 4 second places advance to the next round.

[perspolis#1]

Pots 4 and 5 should be easy enough to get 12 points.

Pot 3 has a tricky team or two I'd rather we avoid.

Pot 2 has Iraq/Uzbekistan/Jordan who could cause us trouble.

We'll be fine.

so worst case by 19th november 2019 one or 2 really good teams from AFC could realistically be out from fifa 2022 WC! Thats like what 3 years before the WC?!

Have Wikipedia made a mistake by putting Qatar in the teams for Seeds 1 as they will be hosting it and so have already qualified or are they using the qualifiers for another tournament as well?

Qatar is already qualified, but they'll participate in 2 rounds of qualifying. Even though they're qualified for the 2022 WC, they need to qualify for AFC Asian Cup.

[kian_khosh]

I really owe it to CQ... Because of our fantastic route to WC qualification, we're now highest ranked in pot 1, which means we're going to have an easy second round.

[Philosophy_King]

This group would be my favorite one:

1. Iran
2. Iraq (need to put them on their place)
3 Philippines
4. Myanmar
5. Cambodia

I choose Philippines, Myanmar and Cambodia since we haven't played them at all yet or very rarely.

[Omid177]

Just avoid Jordan please, they can beat anyone on a good day.
