I'm also not sure how strong Oman is as a top-ranked nation for one of these groups (Uzbekistan would've been better suited, being the best of 2nd slot teams) Uzbekistan forcing the only group without a 6-point leader and Oman the only Pot 1 nation not leading their group. |

It is what it is I guess! Imagine things will smooth themselves out with the various further rounds the Asian qualification system has.

Not necessarily related to the World Cup qualifying but the Asia Cup came to it's conclusion today and should be an indication of who might qualify.
Qatar became back-to-back winners which is a good sign for them reaching this World Cup. However, the team they beat in the final was 'Jordan' who have never previously made a World Cup so a surprise qualification might be on the cards. They beat South Korea 2-0 in the final and by all reports, absolutely dominated them. The South Korea manager, Jürgen Klinsmann was already unpopular and this tournament certainly hasn't helped him. Their opening game was the only game they won in 90 minutes with 2 further draws in the group stage. They knocked out Saudi Arabia in the last 16 on penalties after a 99th minute equalizer and Australia in extra time in the quarters after a 96th minute equalizer. 8 Asian nations will qualify directly for the World Cup 2026 and going off the quarter-finals in this tournament, it would be: Australia Iran Japan Jordan Qatar South Korea Tajikistan Uzbekistan |

That would certainly be an interesting list! Qatar qualifying via the conventional means would certainly be interesting (even if it is easier with more teams)

Doesn't look like there are any massive suprises yet then! I guess that will come with the next round.

Doesn't look to be too much competition in Group E there! Especially compared to other groups where the qualifying spots are still very much in the balance.

Japan have been awarded a 3-0 victory for their match that was cancelled against North Korea. This means that they've become the 7th team to qualify for Round 2 of AFC World Cup qualifying as well as the 2027 Asian Cup Finals. I'll update this in the tables above.
