Id like to know who are the losers and winners of this draw.

I like Honduras's chances of making it to the Hex again. Canada are beatable..we've done it before, but Panama seem strong. especially at home.

[Ali]

Group B:
South Korea
Kuwait
U.A.E.
Lebanon

South Korea are good, really good.
Kuwait and U.A.E are difficult , and it will be close, but lets hope we can do it :king:

[Catracho]

I expect South Korea to qualify as first place.

[Ali]
