American Samoa and Samoa set up a final game decider after the second round of games saw two draws. American Samoa missed out on a second consecutive win after a second half own goal gave the Cook Islands an equaliser. Tonga scored a late equaliser against Samoa to prevent them taking all three points. The results mean the Cook Islands and Tonga are both eliminated. A draw in the final game will be enough for Samoa to progress on goals scored, while American Samoa need to win.

Defeat for South Korea could have meant an early exit but second half goals from Lee Dong-Gook and Lee Keun-Ho were enough to give them victory over Kuwait, who are eliminated. That result meant Lebanon also progressed from Group B despite losing 4-2 to the United Arab Emirates, who picked up their first points of this round after losing their first five games.

Saudi Arabia crashed out of the World Cup after they were on the receiving end of a Australian triple strike in Melbourne. The Saudis led 2-1 at half-time thanks to Nassir Al Shamrani’s goal in first half stoppage time. But three goals in four second half minutes from Harry Kewell, Alex Brosque and Brett Emerton gave the Socceroos victory and meant Saudi Arabia were eliminated after Oman saw off Thailand 2-0 to join Australia in the final round.

Group E had an unexpectedly exciting climax as Bahrain almost pulled off a miracle in Manama. Needing to beat Indonesia, hope Qatar lost in Iran and overturn a huge goal difference, Bahrain smashed ten past their opponents, in a result that will raise eyebrows across Asia and beyond. With minutes to go in both games, it looked like Bahrain were heading through but a late equaliser from Kasola Mohammed gave Qatar the point they needed to confirm their passage to the final round and leave Bahrain’s efforts in vain. Indonesia had to play almost the whole game against Bahrain with 10 men after goalkeeper Samsidar Samsidar was sent off with just a minute on the clock. Bahrain, managed by Peter Taylor, racked up a 4-0 lead by half-time and added six more in the second half, the last coming deep into stoppage time. But Qatar’s draw made the result academic. The draw for Round 4 for will be made on March 9th and will be seeded according to the March 7th world rankings. Only six teams that made the final round in 2010 have done so this time.

Group E had an unexpectedly exciting climax as Bahrain almost pulled off a miracle in Manama. Needing to beat Indonesia, hope Qatar lost in Iran and overturn a huge goal difference, Bahrain smashed ten past their opponents, in a result that will raise eyebrows across Asia and beyond. Already is - Indonesia fielded the under 23 side following an Indonesian FA bust-up, and apart from the early goalkeeper red card Bahrain were awarded four penalties...

Draw for Asia's final round The top 2 from each group qualify for the finals. The two 3rd-place teams playoff against each other, with the winners facing the 5th-placed South American team for a place in the finals.

Group B is much the harder group imo. Aussie and Japan. Iraq are becoming a good football nation too.

It's certainly harder for the lower-ranked teams. Australia and Japan should qualify fairly comfortably. I'd say it's between Iraq and Jordan for 3rd - not much between those two. Oman will probably struggle. I'd expect Iran and South Korea to be the top two in the other group, though Uzbekistan did finish ahead of Japan in the last round. However, they've started well before, then performed poorly in the final round. But with Saudi Arabia and North Korea out of the way, they should have a clear run to the top 3. Qatar aren't quite good enough yet and Lebanon have done well just to make it this far. Five of the final ten have never qualified before and Uzbekistan are probably the best chance of an Asian debutant in 2014. This is what I wrote about Asian debutants at World Cup Tracker back in August:

A full programme of games everywhere except Europe over the next couple of weeks, starting on Friday with the start of the Oceania Nations Cup, the first round of which is also acting as World Cup qualifiers.

Oceania 2nd round, Group A: (all games being played in the Solomon Islands) 18 goals were scored on the opening day of the Oceania Nations Cup in the Solomon Islands. The group stage of the tournament is acting as the second round of World Cup qualifying, with the top two in each group progressing to the next round of qualifying in September. Lorenzo Tehau scored four as Tahiti crushed Samoa 10-1, their biggest ever World Cup victory, eclipsing the 6-0 win over the Cook Islands in 2001. Things were closer in the other game between Vanuatu and group favourites New Caledonia. But three goals in the last 25 minutes saw New Caledonia pull clear and take the points. Bertrand Kai scored a hat-trick for Les Cagous. Tomorrow's Group B games see New Zealand face Fiji and hosts the Solomon Islands take on Papua New Guinea. The winner of the Nations Cup will represent Oceania in next year's Confederations Cup.

African 2nd round, Group D: | 7-0 | |
A floodlight failure temporarily halted Ghana's charge as they got their campaign off to winning start. Sulley Muntari put the 2010 quarter-finalists ahead after 15 minutes and they were 4-0 up just after half-time when the game was delayed for almost an hour as the floodlights at Kumasi's Baba Yara Stadium wouldn't work. When the game resumed, Ghana picked up from where they left off, adding three more goals as they ran out 7-0 winners. It is their biggest-ever win in the World Cup. The group also features new African champions Zambia, who play Sudan this weekend.
