Since its being played in Qatar and in November in the middle of European domestic season, I wonder if there would be any implied value advantage on any country's that get into the tourney from.
hot and arid countries.
For example IRAN,MORROCO,Tunisia,Saudi Arabia..etc

I do think that just for intangibles being so close to the host country with less to travel and being acclimated to the weather pattern maybe give them an edge.Obviously not implying any of them could make it far but as far as advantage on the Asian handicap we could see a good deal of value.

Thoughts?
