This is going to be a very different qualification campaign than the ones we're used to.
Some teams have chosen not to play at their home venue (like the crazy Australia), whereas others will have no fans in attendance, and some nations will play with fans. So it's a mix.
Games coming in quick succession almost every month...here we will focus on Asian qualifiers mostly.
I wonder if all those changes could mean a fresh face representing Asia next winter in Qatar (other than Qatar himself, anyways).
Anyhow: here are the Asian qualifiers coming over the next week (feel free to discuss Europe, HEX, CAF, and S.American qualifiers here too).
Thursday, Sept. 2
S. Korea vs. Iraq ---- Seoul, no fans
UAE vs. Lebanon ---- Dubai, w/ fans
Japan vs. Oman ---- Suita, no fans
Australia vs. China ---- in Qatar
Saudi vs. Vietnam ---- Riyadh, w/ fans
Tuesday Sept. 7
S. Korea vs. Lebanon
Syria vs. UAE ---- in Jordan
Vietnam vs. Australia ---- in Hanoi, but no fans
Oman vs. Saudi ---- Oman
China vs. Japan ---- in Qatar, just before our game vs. Iraq
-----------------------------------
Not gonna lie...the non-TM matches of other group look so much more intriguing than our group
