World cup qualifiers Oct 2017 (R)

[Babr]

HT: Australia 1-1 Syria.

Syria missing 4-5 players due to injuries and booking, including Omar Khribin who scored hat trick against Persepolis few weeks a go.

Syria would have probably already booked their ticket for Russia if they had home advantage and weren't forced to deal with Malaysia humidity, etc and they had Al-Somah from the beginning of tournament(conflict with government). Tough team to play against.

 

[Babr]

1-1 after 90 min, it goes to OT.

 

[Babr]

Syria playing with 10 men in OT. 27 mins to resist!

 

[DireStraits]

CQ was right that Syria is a good team!!! I though Australia would win with ease!

Irmatov the referee was replaced by the 4th referee during the OT, he had an injury i believe.

 

[Babr]

Aussie scored @ min 109.

The old Cahill with both goals off the headers.

 

[Babr]

Somah free kick hit the bar at 120 min, he is clearly one of the top Asian striker.

 

[Babr]

Aussie advance will face Panama most likely.

They have two top strikers in Asia in Somah and Khribin, Khribin was injured today and they missed 3-4 other players. They really played with their heart.

good!!!

So it took Australia's Ali Daei to overcome the stubborn Syrians. The game against any team from CONCACAF should be a close one.

Portugal - Switzerland is a good one to watch later on today followed by all South American qualifiers.

Wow! I never considered that. A world cup without ballon d'or winners of the last 10 years.

I think Slovakia is the European runner up team who will miss the home and home playoff. All other second placed teams have more points than Slovakia (after taking away the points against their respective groups last team). That means Ireland, Northern Ireland, Croatia, Greece, Sweden (or Netherlands by a MIRACLE), Italy, Denmark and one of Switzerland-Portugal will battle for the final 4 European spots.

[Real Madrid]

Portugal will be fighting Switzerland for a Direct spot.

 

[Bache Tehroon]

Swiss giving Portugal too much respect. They will concede if they continue this crap.
