Asia World Cup Qualifying- Third Round
Group A
Iran and South Korea have booked the two automatic qualifiers for Qatar
The third-place playoff spot will be either UAE, Lebanon or Iraq
UAE: Two wins and nine points (goal difference is three better than Lebanon and seven better than Iraq) 
Lebanon: One win and six points
Iraq: No wins and five points (five draws) 

Group B is anyone's game with the final encounters next month 
Saudi Arabia, Japan and Australia are the only three teams left in contention as Oman, China and Vietnam have all been eliminated
Saudi Arabia (nineteen points) and Japan (eighteen points) are in the first two spots as they both have six wins, with Australia two wins and three points further back
*Australia, it's worth noting, have the edge in goal difference with four more than Saudi Arabia and three more than Japan 

March 24th
Australia v. Japan (Japan won 2-1 in October)
China v. Saudi Arabia (Saudi Arabia won 3-2 in October) 
Vietnam v. Oman
If Japan and Saudi Arabia both win...
Given that they would have twenty-one and twenty-two points and Australia would remain with fifteen, the top three places would be decided entering the final day of games

Whose UFC roster spots are on the line?
Next weekend
Maybe Gabriel Benitez- one win in his last three

Abdul Razak Alhassan- although he won his last bout, he's still 1-3 in his last four
Potentially Johnny Walker- he's 1-3 in his last four and if he loses next weekend he'll have lost four of five with his lone win sandwiched between two two-fight losing streaks
