The weaker nations of North Korea and UAE are not easy opponents. That group is much better to predict. As for the Uzbeks, I don't think they lack quality but they may lack consistency and the ability to perform on the big stage. They have been known to flop on the big occasions.

Uzbekistan do look to be the dark horse, and will undoubtedly make things interesting, but they've not got the class to threaten Australia or Japan. That having been said, if Australia stumble in the opening match in Tashkent (a possibility given the Uzbeks' form of late and the crowd), that will put a heap of pressure on the Aussies. Whatever the case, it'll be an interesting encounter. I'll do my best to track it down on TV/Internet. Good thing you weren't drawn in Group A. I think that's by far the more challenging of the two groups. North Korea is solid defensively. Iran is always up for a match. And Saudi Arabia qualified for Germany 2006.
