Second thought, I’m not sure this makes me feel beter or worse!!! A World Cup without Iran and Argentina is not one I would even want to follow…

Yes, Jose is absolutely right. North Korea defeated the Saudis in their first match. See here. I will correct my mistake. Thank you Jose.

No kia, I think Jose means that North Korea goes through at the expense of Saudi Arabia, and I think he is right. I have to check their head-to-head result in thier first match.

I’m pretty sure that if North Korea and KSA draw, North Korea goes through…

Hi guys,

This is how it works. I think I have it all figured out!!

We can NOT lose to Korea Republic. We lose, we are out.

If we win and

1) KSA wins, we will get the playoff spot
2) Korea DPR wins, we will get the playoff spot
3) Korea DPR and KSA draw, we will qualify as the second team in the group and Korea DPR will get playoff spot

If we tie and

1) KSA wins, we get playoff spot
2) Korea DPR wins, we are OUT!
3) KSA and Korea DPR draw, we are OUT!
