Feel free to close this thread whenever. I just wanted to let peeps know.
Cheers

New Zealand played well than Bahrain just now. I trust that if Iran or Saudi Arabia stand this position (mean replace Bahrain), New Zealand would not go through...

this made my day!
i would b ashamed if bahrain played in wc and not we

If they still playing like before and does not change their football style, I believe that Iran won't win the world cup.

The most important thing is they should follow the technique and fast game like European team.

Happy to hear it!

I am so sorry to hear that. Bahrain should be won that match!!!!!!!!
But they are very poor performance today..

Although this made my day also, it also reminded me of our dismal campaign...feeling of sorrow, back you come again...

True, but at least NZ consists of sportsmen as opposed to a bunch of dirty bribed grassrolling lizards, who wants to see that in a WC?

OH YESSSSS!!! GOOD LUCK NEW ZEALAND!!!! THIS MEANS NO ARABS THIS YEAR!!!

There will be one and exactly one Arab nation in the next WC. Either Algeria or Egypt.

It may be argued that neither is a "true Arab nation". Which is more Arab by the way, Egypt or Algeria?

And similarly there will be exactly one Muslim country also.

where?

it was in the crowd. they were in the bahrain group, they were waving the saudi flag? Bahrain knocked out saudi, why would the put the flag up?

[Nokhodi]

Its a joke that both of these teams even got this far. Next WC will be an absolute embarrassment for Asia.

Exactly....BUT...it was SAUDI fans along with the Bahrainis!!! waving Saudi fans, and showing solid support for Bahrain...

I actually think it will be one of Asia's best. I think Australia and Japan will surprise everyone. But the Korea's will still struggle.

[Shamim]

Good, Bahrein would have embarrassed Asia just like Saudi Arabia losing 8-0 to Germany.

Wow I just realized that no west Asian countries will be in the World Cup.
