Are there any benefits to winning the group such as seedings? Or will it just be bragging rights. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.242.169.170 ( talk) 03:49, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

A few days ago there were a theory, that if Australia beats Uzbekistan and Bahrain draws with Qatar, Japan will finish at least on the third place at the end. I guess it's true, so it should be there. Thanks -- Simy69 ( talk) 11:24, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
Yes, I thought this case, but somehow I wrote the wrong version. -- Simy69 ( talk) 11:52, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
Japan is now mathematically assured of at least third place (and thus reaching the playoff) - neither Uzbekistan nor Qatar can reach 11 points. PiGuy314 ( talk) 00:47, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
If Aus loses all its remaining games, and Bahrain wins all its remaining games, they would be level on points and it would come down to goal difference?
And if Bahrain somehow makes up the 9 goal difference, they will take 2nd spot (assuming Jap 1st in this scenario) and Aus is guaranteed the 3rd place (playoff matches) at a minimum?

Should a different color background (say, blue) be used for Australia and Japan in the standings table to indicate that they have guaranteed (at least) qualification to the playoff? PiGuy314 ( talk) 01:03, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
Right now, it says UZB must beat Bahrain by 2 goals to advance. Am I missing something? If UZB beats Bahrain by 1 goal: -both teams will have the same number of points. -both teams will have the same GD -Uzbekistan will have a better GF and will advance. Am I interpreting the tiebreakers incorrectly? Schoop ( talk) 12:50, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
Yes, currently, Bahrain beat Uzbekitsan 1-0, so a 1-0 win for Uzbekistan in the return, or a 1 goal victory should take it down to GD before GF. Druryfire ( talk) 12:55, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
Right now Uzbekistan has -4 GD and Bahrain -3. In case Uzbeks win 1-0 they will have GD -3 and Bahrain will have -4, so any win shall lead them to play-offs. 194.50.169.20 ( talk) 13:09, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
Thats correct, that's my understanding, winner takes all. Druryfire ( talk) 13:15, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
