They are down to 18 in Asia. 8 will make the World Cup. A 9th will have a chance in a play-off. You figure Japan, South Korea, Australia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar are locks. There's 3 teams which would be really interesting to see make a World Cup in the US. Iraq, North Korea, and Palestine. Iraq probably makes it. The other 2 are more of a longshot but they have a chance.

Israel vs. Palestine would be epic if they both made it :)
 
Doesn't Columbia have a soccer field?

Actually yes, that would be a good site also. Pitt practiced there for the Pinstripe Bowl. NYCFC wanted to buy that land and turn it into their soccer stadium but allow Columbia football and soccer teams to play there but they said no. So NYCFC is building in Queens next to Citi Field.

At those schools it would be like a home game for the Palestinians. They'd have trans cheerleaders and drag queens chanting "from the river to the sea!" :)
