    Yeah right.
    That came along quietly.
    Hidden amongst basketball World Cup though I guess, and Ashes.

    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.

    3-0 win. Decent start away from home. Our only real concern in this group is Jordan.

    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.

    Wow.

    South Korea just going along
    Seems to be a fairly competitive group. North Korea withdrew from the group after five matches (2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss), with all their games being voided, resulting in Turkmenistan losing their win against them and putting them out of contention. It will more than likely now go down to the final match on Sunday afternoon between South Korea and Lebanon.

    However, with the top five runner-ups going through to the next stage of qualifying (with the results against the bottom team in the other groups not counting), South Korea's superior goal difference will more than likely see them through, helped in large part by their eight goal win against Sri Lanka back in October.  They also get to play Sri Lanka again at home tomorrow night.

    AFC (Asia)
    Last night in Group H, South Korea beat Sri Lanka 5-0 and Turkmenistan beat Lebanon 3-2, which means South Korea will qualify regardless of the result on Sunday (either as group winner or highest placed runner-up, if they somehow manage to lose to Lebanon by eight goals or more).

    CONCACAF (North & Central America)
    Group 2 matches have been scheduled for June 12 and 15.

    Saint Kitts & Nevis v El Salvador
    Haiti v Canada
    Panama v Curaçao

    The three winners will join Mexico, USA, Costa Rica, Jamaica and Honduras in the final round.
