I can't believe Australia didn't beat Honduras, they had so many chances to score goals but couldn't. There even were a couple of very easy shots that should of been goals but I think the pressure really got to them on the night. I also believe Australia should of been awarded that penalty which was called but then over turned lol, that was a joke! Now the return leg is in Australia where I think Australia will win this time as they are hard to beat on home soil.

they still has a 2nd leg at their home, pretty sure they will win

Yeah they do however they should of scored at least 2 goals which would of made their job easier for the 2nd leg which starts tomorrow. I also think Australia should win but they will have more pressure on them now playing at home in front of their home crowd. I think it will be a great game to watch and can't wait, I just hope Australia win and make it through.

Australian done good job in away match as Honduras's home record is not bad at all and Australia's away record is also not good they fail to in last few away matches now they can handle very easily at home in other match New Zealand was very good they also play goalless draw against Peru now they have to travel in away match which is not easy for them at all

Yes true, Australia did do a good job playing away as like you said they haven't had good form playing away in recent times. But in the last few times they have performed much better playing away without getting the wins.

I agree New Zealand have shown they can also match it with a good team in Peru but will now find it very hard to win away, I wouldn't mind seeing them win and make it through.

Congratulations for Tunisia and Morroco for qualifying to Russia 2018 world cup so all the African seats are sealed after Senegal also confirmed their qualifications earlier today from these teams there is a lot of potential specially for Morocco they have been very good lately also they managed to finish without conceding a single goal also they needed only a draw against the Ivory coast but they raided them with two goals in the first half so they announced their presence from the beginning and waved goodbye for Ivory coast dreams of qualifications. Senegal will be a good team to have in world Cup with their star Said Mane it will be very interesting and last Tunisia they have overall a good team but I don't expect much from especially after today game against Lybia as they could easily pulled out from the race if they lost that game at home.

The Ivorians though boasting of some renowned players in their squad  they couldn't get past Morocco and have failed to qualify for the World Cup,  ironically it was the Ivorians previous manager who won them the African Cup who have sabotaged their world Cup qualification by coaching the Moroccans rather into the competition.

Ivory coast is one of best teams in Africa but this time they done very poor job as fail to qualify for World cup Morocco done good job against of best teams with lot of great players as Tunisia is also going Russia completing list of African teams they have not good chances for going through in second round

yeah Coast Ivory had a difficult match but Morroco showed their strength The Ivory coast could qualified if they didn't lose against Bigger or even winning in their game before this one against Mali they would have the upper hand as a draw would have guarantee their trip to Russia in Summer they would be missed.
And For Tunisia they still have a chance to get to second round but it all depends on who will be there with them in the group stages the draw for group stages will be on the 1st of September and only 4 spots left undecided Italy or Sweden , Denmark or Ireland , Australia or Honduras and Peru or New zealand and none of them put a big step for qualifications so it will be interesting

Well the end will justify the means, i still thought Australia could have done better because Honduras no matter how good they are should n pose myuch of a threat to a nation with rich footballers like australia.

I think the Socceroos did well by enduring the hostile home crowds in Honduras and hopefully they will be able to turn things around in the return leg on home grounds. I think they have  their destiny in their hands now and it couldn't have gotten better than this after playing goalless in Honduras.

I doubt that any of the African teams will be able to make an impact in the upcoming World Cup.  I am saying this with the exception of Egypt who I think they are going to do something and that will depend on on the group I which they are placed. I am tipping the Brazilians to eventually win the trophy they have assembled a young and very capable team.

I do not feel that the teams from Africa are now better than some of the last world cup series, so for me there is still no chance for African representatives to reach at least the Final. Europe and Latin America will still be the most powerful representatives in the World Cup later, where the champion comes from.

[buwaytress]

Not that many people here will have been following the Asia Cup internationals, but as someone with ties to Malaysia, I would like to denounce their performance resulting in a 4-1 thrashing at the hands of... the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea. I actually thought taking a Draw No Bet on Malaysia @9.00 was very good.

Never mind that this was the second 4-1 humiliation of the Malayan Tigers in four days. Never mind that Malaysia finishes bottom of their group behind minnows Hong Kong. Never mind that the squad. Never mind the first time ending up without a single victory in the competition for over 10 years.

No heart in the game. Not even a yellow card to show some grit.

asian teams and african teams will be so difficult to being the great rivalry for the teams come from europe or Latina america although there was several good players who able to play at european clubs but that will not guarantee they playing more better at their national teams so basically african and asian teams is the mediocre teams but i wish in this world cup there will be a team from these continent will be dark horse team which being able to beat strong team

Yes its true in all world cup history we have no threat from these Asian and African teams because they have very weak local systems even many countries have luxury with players doing great job in European leagues but still they fail to give any impact here specially from Asia they need to spend some more time and money for growth of new talent

I wouldn't say Australia have rich footballers as not many play in Europe as the Australian side is mostly made up of local talent playing in the A-League. If more Australian players played in Europe I think Australia would have a top class team but I must admit they can match it with some of the best on their day. Now we shall see how well they handle the pressure in this upcoming 2nd leg.

You even have to ask yourself how many players from Africa and Asia are in the major clubs in Europe, playing there, In my country, the leagues is so poor that we the citizens don't even watch it in the first place. We are all watching the European Leagues because they are more entertaining.

so why call it world cup if only European teams and couple teams from South America allowed to be in the tournament. it is named a world Cup so every continent have representative and maybe it's not fair that some of the big names out there didn't qualify like It's ly Netherlands or Chile but they can only blame themselves for not being able to qualify for the world cup because if you can't qualify you don't have a place and I think that the football in Africa is evolving we are seeing many players playing in Europe even in big teams look at Cost Ivory or Cameron or Ghana Algeria they have so many big names that deserve to be playing in WC but they didn't manage to qualify because the competition is getting Stronger out there I remember that in last world Cup Germany had a difficult match against Algeria and they only managed to beat them in extra time so some teams should definitely have been out there but luck was not on there side.

Some unpredicted results happened today. In WC qualification Denmark scored 5 goals away vs Ireland. They conceded early goal, but then Denmark scored 5 goals in a row! Hattrick by Eriksen and offcourse - penalty scored by Lord Bendtner.
Now about frendlies. Nigeria won against Argentina 4:2. Argentina played without Messi, but other their stars was in squad. It was really fun game to watch, despite that Argentina didn't played best their football.
And another match with many goals scored - Russia vs Spain 3:3. A bit sad that I didn't watched it :/

The will be a lot of Scandinavian countries in the World Cup next year, with Denmark, Sweden and Iceland are being represented in the world cup next year I think this will be the first time there was a lot of Scandinavian countries being represented in the World Cup.

[GalaWan]

It is an interesting situation that Brazil could not find goals against a defender who plays Brazil. The Spain match was an enjoyable match.

[vella85]

Well its the game I've been waiting for, Australia v Honduras. If its anything like the 1st leg, its sure going to be a great game to watch and I just hope this time Australia is able to score goals and win as they were the better team in the 1st leg but just couldn't score the goals they should of. With the home fans on their side they should be able to win and make it through to the World Cup.

For the lat WC spots we have Australia looking for a win to go to Russia with them getting a positive results after dominating the first leg and definitely played better against their hosts Honduras but didn't get the win they needed and ended the game 0-0. But this will help them in their game at home the team is much better when they are playing on thir soil and with 4 wins and 2 draws in last 6 games, while Honduras are with problems away at home, so here I expect no surprises for this match and bets on a win for Australia.

So Australia is the final team to qualify for the FIFA World Cup, with a hattrick from Mile Jedinak, they won the game easily against Honduras who were able to get a consolation goal in 94th minute of play. This is Australia's fourth successive appearance at the World Cup and in my opinion they deserved to be there though they could have saved themselves the trouble with an outright qualification instead of so many play offs.

looking forward to see Iceland performance because this team has been destroy England dream when they playing at euro 2016 and i think they performance will surprising us in this world cup and probably strong team will be defeated by them too
