Mr Bairn Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 India 2-0 Nepal Yemen 3-1 Pakistan Timor-Leste 4-1 Mongolia Cambodia 3-0 Macau Cinese Taipei 0-1 Brunei Sri Lanka 0-1 Bhutan The second legs will take place on Tuesday, with the winners going in to the hat for the group stage draw on April 15th. From there we have 8 groups of 5, and the winners and 4 best second place teams go in to the final group round, which is 2 groups of 6. The top 2 teams in each group qualify for Russia, and the best 3rd place team will go in to an intercontinental playoff. Meanwhile, here's a look at how the other continents will decide their entrants UEFA No confirmation yet but the expectation is that there will be 9 groups of 5/6 teams, the winners qualifying directly and the 8 best runners up going to a playoff. The draw will be made on July 25th and qualification will begin in autumn 2017 South America In the least inventive qualification process possible, the 10 teams will play a simple H&A round robin, the top 4 will qualify and the 5th place team will face a play off. Qualification begins on October 5th 2015. Oceania A 3 stage qualifying process begins this June, with the winning team eventually facing a play off Africa Qualifying starts on October 5th with the first of three preliminary rounds to get the 53 entrants whittled down to a final 20. Once that 20 has been determined it's simple 4 team groups, with the winners on a flight to Russia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being from where they come from I wouldn't think they'd be too concerned about the security issues. http://www.dawn.com/news/1169947 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernLights Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 East Timor won 1-0 away in Mongolia. A comfortable 5-1 win on aggregate. Their previous two attempts had resulted in first round defeats, losing all four games in the process so progress for one of FIFAs youngest members.

NorthernLights Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 Bhutan have taken an early lead in their home leg against Sri Lanka. Looking good for the lowest ranked nation, I'm assuming this is a title they won't be holding onto for much longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
