      “NEE – next eight eliminated” was a thread on NP1. This looks like a good place to post to continue.
      – #102 Iraq out;
      – #78 Qatar out;
      – #77 China out;
      – #74 United Arab Emirates out;
      – #64 Uzbekistan out;
      Australia (#45) & Syria (#80) advance.
      Iran (#24) & Japan (#44) & South Korea (#49) & Saudi Arabia (#59) qualify.
      – #83 Trinidad & Tobago out;
      – #206 Gibralter out;
      – #190 Malta out;

      As always, there are some wonderful youtube replays available but I can’t post the link in this new NP2 web site. Previous updates and great videos of earlier world cup qualifiers are, sadly, lost on the original NP site.
      Probably the biggest upset victory was Qatar’s 3-2 win over South Korea in the round robin stage.
