You get the feeling that something is beginning to happen for the UAE in Football. They have\u00a0progressed further in the qualification round\u00a0for the 2018 FIFA World Cup which will take\u00a0place in Russia. The only time they were in the tournament was\u00a0over 20 years ago. Today, in the first game of the second group stage, they have beaten a strong Japan team, 2-1, away from home to jointly top the group. Their next match is against Australia\u00a0in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday.\u00a0This is what they need to do to qualify<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
