These draws always manage to take the definition of sycophant to a whole new level.

'You smelled my fart in the reception last night. Care to share with the audience how great it was?'
It really is and you just sit there waiting for the important stuff.

Hope we get an interesting group, though getting a strong feeling we will get the group that causes the least political trouble.

Oh the AFC don't have any political clash draw bans? UEFA have about 7 different rules about teams not permitted to face each other. Qualifying also stipulates distance bans and winter weather limitations.
Pot 1 last so we'll basically be picking the group we prefer. Anti climax really.

We'll see what eventuates. 3 Gulf teams may mean low scoring and draws amongst themselves.
Low block isn't desirable.

None that are explicitly spelled out I think. Though always seems to be a wonderful coincidence that no one lands in a group that is too politically fraught.

Apparently not as Oman goes in there. I'm surprised.
Group B 3 to dick us thrice if we get that. Jordan, Bahrain and best Korea.

Group D with Graham Arnold and Iraq also would be an enthralling contest between the two most recent Socceroos head coaches in Arnie and Poppa.

Group D an easy group for us with Singapore and Tajikistan, as well as possibly a challenging match against Iraq.
