I really don't see the USA beating Cook Islands if they both use their strongest teams.

If the Lebanon end up being relieved of their spot, I guess this game could become academic. 

Speculative comment I admit.

Could see South Africa back in with a chance being the highest ranked MEA team?

Who knows.

What an embarrassment that would be for the sport after the Cedars were automatically qualified.

I would have thought more embarrassing for Lebanon. There will be some flack in the press maybe, but it is what it is. There will be a capable candidate to cover. I don't Lebanon was/is going to have the success as it did last WC.
