by skipping the south america bit, australia are clearly taking on weaker opponents.haha so you slag off Australia for going up against tougher opponents and leaving NZ to dominate Oceania like Australia has recently

OMG, how many times are we gonna go through this, we know you think Aus shouldnt be playing in Asia, fact is we are, get over it and worry about England...marc71178 said:No, but you weren't playing in the South American qualifying.

i dear say, boy brumby, if they were able to qualify for the world cup on the more consistent basis, i doubt they would have made the move, to a confederation, that they clearly don't belong to.BoyBrumby said:TBF to the Aussie FA their main remit is to promote Australian football & I think, in those narrow terms, it's a good move for them.
Aside from the potentially easier qualifying route to the next WC they'll also (presumably) get to play in the Asian Nations tournament & the Asian Champions League.
Playing Japan in front of 80,000 passionate fans has got to be more appealing than dicking American Samoa 34-0 (or whatever it was).

Why on earth can't they merge the two? Asia take care of awful footballing nations like Sri Lanka *ducks* and Maldives, surely a few more Oceanian nations who can be taken care of in a two-legged play-off can't hurt?chaminda_00 said:why do you care nibbs, if nz had a choice im sure they would move to asia too.

what should happen is that whoever wins the oceanian section should just then go into the final stages of the asian qualifier. thats my opinion. having said, i don't understand how fifa can justify keeping oceania. we really should just merge with asia, as hak just said.Samuel_Vimes said:Why on earth can't they merge the two?
