Asia qualifying.

Day -831. WorldCup2018.

Meanwhile in Asia the qualifying campaign, which started in March 2015, picks up again in a few weeks with quite a way to go before the four (and a half) teams that make it to Russia are determined. Qatar have already made it to Round 3 and South Korea are very close.

But again, I wonder, 46 associations in Asia and over three years of qualifying compared to the one year for the 53 European teams. A more detailed analysis is needed. Coming soon.

One of the highlights of the nest round of matches coming up, on March 24th is Syria-Cambodia. It may not sound like a huge match but a win for Syria and they may be, miraculously, closer to a spot in Round 3.  It's one to follow.

Sadly the Guam dream looks like it's over. I had high hopes.
