AFRICA1st round, 1st leg: No real shocks in Africa - the closest we came was Zambia, who qualified for this year's Olympics, being held to a draw by Malawi and Cameroon scraping a win against the Central African Republic. Nigeria and Ghana are ranked 1 and 4 in Africa but face each other in the 1st Round due to the regionalised qualifying system. The winners will face 5th ranked Ivory Coast in the next round (assuming Niger don't overturn a 9-0 defecit), meaning at least two of Africa's best teams will miss out on the World Cup. Djibouti automatically advance to the next round after Rwanda withdrew from the competition.

A second easy win for Myanmar puts them on the brink of the next round. However, they could still be pipped by the UAE in the final game due to head-to-head being used as the first tiebreaker, rather than goal difference. Lebanon are eliminated despite their win over the UAE.
