Jeepers who would have picked Qatar to qualify ahead of Iraq and China.

Just shows that you shouldn't ever assume is sport. Qualification is not a foregone conclusion.

All games will be tough for the lads. Wonder if we will have full strength squads available for each of the games? I am assuming the matches would coincide with other WC qualifiers throughout the world.

I hope we don't get in the same side as Uzbekistan. Didn't they go through their group stage undefeated and beating the Saudis in the process.

What happens when teams play Nth Korea - Do they play them at home or on neutral territory?

In Pyongyang, tho they didn't play South Korea there as they either wouldn't fly the South Korean flag or play the National Anthem. That game was played in Shanghai.

So, Rody never got a game in the first round of qualifiers, although he was named on the bench and the squad the whole time. It's funny, because he's basically telling me (not complaining, just musing) that he's missing out on Victory's end of season holiday and his downtime between seasons because he's in full training, but without the reward of actually getting on the park. I hope he gets some rest before pre-season starts up again. Victory needs a fresh Rody.

They played some duds in the game against China and obviously lost.
2 from Perth Glory the worst Aussie side in the A-league.
I understand the reasoning behind playing Olyroos guys but the keeper was a 31yo and not highly rated.
Topor Stanley and Zadovich should not be near a national team.

I'm really worried we will miss out on WC2010.
