World Cup 2010 Qualifying Groups: Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania, South America
|
Group 1 I Group 2
Group 2 is a much harder group to predict with South Korea, Iran and Saudia Arabia all challenging for the two automatic spots. North Korea did not concede a goal in the previous round and face South Korea again after sharing two scoreless draws in the previous round. The UAE are also not to be underestimated. A very tight group with all the teams looking to get off to a good start.
