FIFA World Cup 2014 Qualifier:Jordan to battle Uruguay for Brazil berth

Nepal Opponents Jordan will play against South American Giant Uruguay to qualify for the World Cup 2014.Jordan’s opponents in the FIFA World Cup 2014 intercontinental playoff will be Uruguay after La Celestefinished fifth in the CONMEBOL qualifiers following their 3-2 win over Argentina on Tuesday.

As Asia’s Brazil 2014 qualifying hopefuls Jordan where focusing on their campaign to reach the 2015 AFC Asian Cup with a home tie against Oman, Uruguay were taking on Argentina in Montevideo needing a victory to ensure they finished no lower than fifth in the nine-team South American qualification standings.

Edinson Cavani netted the match-winner five minutes into the second half after Maxi Rodriguez has twice pulled Argentina level (15th and 41st) following Cristian Rodriguez’s sixth-minute opener and a 34th minute penalty from Luis Suarez.

But Uruguay's win was not enough as Chile and Ecuador claimed the final automatic South American qualifying berths behind regional group winners Argentina and second-placed Colombia.

Saluting his team for a "dignified" end to their regional program, Uruguay coach Oscar Tabarez indicated they must not take Jordan lightly, despite their rivals being ranked 73rd to their own seventh in FIFA’s global list.

"Like all Uruguayans I hope we make it through (but) we would be very wrong to think Jordan cannot cause us problems," Tabarez warned.

November’s two-leg meeting with Jordan marks the fourth consecutive World Cup qualification playoff for Uruguay and although this represents the first meeting against an AFC member association they have face Australia twice prior to the Socceroos’ switch from Oceania to the Asian Football Confederation in 2006.

Uruguay defeated the Australia in the playoffs for the 2002 FIFA World Cup, the first to be hosted in Asia, before the Socceroos turned the tables on the South Americans with victory on penalties in the playoff for Germany 2006.

FIFA World Cup Asian Qualifier: Japan became the first to qualify for the 2014 FIFA World Cup

Japan became the first side to qualify for the 2014 FIFA World Cup on Tuesday as Keisuke Honda’s stoppage-time penalty secured Alberto Zaccheroni’s side a dramatic, last-gasp 1-1 draw with Australia at Saitama Stadium.
The point means the Japanese cannot finish any lower than second in Group B of the final round of Asia’s qualifying tournament for next year’s event, securing one of the automatic berths in the finals and joining hosts Brazil in the draw in December.Tommy Oar looked to have earned the Australians a surprise win when, with eight minutes to go, his miss-hit cross caught out Eiji Kawashima to put the Socceroos in front, but Honda’s late spot-kick restored parity and takes Japan to a fifth straight FIFA World Cup.
Honda returned to the Japanese line-up after missing the 2-1 loss against Jordan due to injury while Lucas Neill and Sasa Ognanovski resumed their partnership at the heart of the Australian defence after both were absent from the 2-2 draw with Oman in March.
Japan went into the game as favourites and, not surprisingly, the home side had the better of the opening exchanges, with Yasuhito Endo sending his left footed effort just over the bar while Shinji Kagawa forced a fine save out of Mark Schwarzer from close range.
Australia’s best chance of the first half fell to Robbie Kruse, but the Bundesliga-based midfielder was denied by the on-rushing Kawashima after Tim Cahill’s ball had sprung the Japanese offside trap.
The Japanese kept Holger Osieck’s side pinned back throughout the second half as the home side sought the goal that would give them the breathing space they needed to ensure their place in Brazil.

Honda was off target with his effort after good work down the left by Kagawa in the 54th minute while, five minutes later, the Manchester United midfielder’s attempt to chip Schwarzer beat the Fulham goalkeeper only to hit clip the top of the crossbar.The CSKA Moscow man twice fired off free kicks that caused few problems with Schwarzer while Yuto Nagatomo forced a fine save out of the 40-year-old Australian with just 10 minutes remaining.
Two minutes later, and against the run of play, the Australians went in front. Oar went down the left before lofting in a cross that evaded everyone – including Kawashima – and nestled in the bottom corner of the goal.
Oar’s strike silenced the capacity crowd at Saitama and, as time was running out, Japan’s hopes of reaching the FIFA World Cup looked to be shifting towards their upcoming meeting with Iraq in Doha next week.
But, with the game edging towards the finale, referee Nawaf Shukralla pointed to the spot after judging the ball had hit Matt McKay’s arm and Honda stepped up to thump his shot straight down the middle as Schwarzer dived to his left, sealing qualification for Japan.
