I guess that solves it

A moot point I have asked a few people related to the ability of the Lebanese to play in the Asian Cup Qualifiers over the next few weeks while they are dealing with a Hezbollah-induced time of turmoil.

We have an answer. They Won't.

The full effects of this for Australia are not quite known yet. Fortunately, the games against Bahrain and against Kuwait should still be going ahead.

Update: Lebanon are out. Three team qualifiers now... Australia qualifies if they come first or second...
