Are you seriously saying that either uzbekistan or Guatemala will be in the Finals! BIZARRE! It won't definitely be Uzbekistan or Guatemala. It could be Bahrain or Trinidad & Tobago... World-Class nations that they are...

An update on Uzbekistan v Bahrain:
FIFA has declared the first leg void after what they describe as "a technical error" by the Japanese referee. He disallowed an Uzbekistan goal scored from the penalty spot. Instead of ordering the kick to be re-taken, he awarded a free-kick to Bahrain.
The first leg will be replayed next month, with the second leg taking place a few days later.
