Uzbekistan can qualify to World Cup even after loss to Iran
Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Uzbekistan futsal national team will play against Iran in quarterfinals of the AFC Futsal Championship quarterfinals on 29 May. The winner will qualify to the World Championship, which will be held in Thailand in November 2012, the UFF said.

FIFA allocated four spots for Asia. Thailand will qualify to the World Championship as the host. Four semifinalists of the AFC Futsal Championship will qualify to the tournament. Thailand qualified to quarterfinals and if they qualify to semifinal, one of the quarterfinalists will book place in the tournament.

If Uzbekistan loses to Iran, the team will keep chance to qualify to the World Championship. In such case, the World Championship qualifier will be determined on the base of the best goal difference in quarterfinals, best number of scored goals in quarterfinals, best goal difference in the group stage and best number of scored goals in the group stage.

However, if Uzbekistan loses to Iran, Kuwait should defeat Australia as the Arabian nation has better goal difference in group stage compared to Uzbekistan. At the same time, Uzbekistan score more goals compared to Australia, Lebanon and Kyrgyzstan.

However, Uzbekistan will try to reach the World Cup by defeating Iran and there will be no need for difficult calculations.
