Top team from the eight groups plus four best runner-ups advance to third round. If Qatar (already qualified as host nation) is one of those teams, then the fifth best runner-up advances.
I missed this announcement on Friday, but the ABC is now the new home for FTA football coverage in Australia, starting with the next Socceroos qualifying match against Nepal this Thursday night.
They will be broadcasting the majority of the Socceroos' qualifiers live, although not the upcoming Nepal match (which is currently scheduled to be shown in Perth at 8pm WST on ABC and ABC HD).
They will also be broadcasting every Matildas game (including the Olympic qualifiers) live, plus for the next two seasons, one Saturday afternoon A-League game per week live (plus selected finals on delay) and one Sunday afternoon W-League game per week plus all the finals live.

The last time 3 or more Socceroos scored multiple goals in a game was back in April 2001 when Popovic, Thompson, Vidmar and Zdrilic all scored doubles in a 11-0 win over Samoa in the first round of the Oceania 2002 World Cup qualifiers at Coffs Harbour.
That was the match after the Socceroos beat American Samoa 31-0, when Thompson (13), Zdrilic (8), Boutsianis (3), Colosimo (2), Popovic (2) and Vidmar (2) all scored multiple goals.
Two days prior, the Socceroos beat Tonga 22-0, when Aloisi (6), Mori (4), Muscat (4), Chipperfield (2) and Zdrilic (2) scored multiple goals.
