It would be sweet if for all the players they 'acquired' the Kazakhs would drop and have to play the likes of Kuwait and Malaysia in Group II next year :devil:, but it seems like too tough a road for the Philippines.

Kazakhstan can make the World Group with a lucky draw

At least Abdukhalikov got a point, makes the score Phillipines 0, Russia 4, Kazakhstan 1 by my count.
