Dont say that
Am I thinking too positive?

Could see another Korea/Japan or ASEAN bid. So maybe 2054 is too positive.

Edit: Oh wait, I got my math wrong, have to push back another 4 years either way.
 
Thinking…

With one team qualifying directly from the Oceania group (most likely NZ) then would it be better for some Asian strugglers to move to that group and have more chance of making a World Cup? Also making the Oceania group a lot stronger.

Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore, Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand Myenmar and maybe even Sri Lanka and India play in the Oceania group.

Might as well just merge Oceania with Asia in that case.

Vietnam & Thailand shouldn't be in that group, they actually have half decent national teams.


The rest of those teams won't ever be qualifying for a world cup ever unless it is expanded to 64 teams and Asia gets 12.5 places.

But they are not good enough to take on the Asian powerhouses

Might be more chance for competing for a spot against New Zealand?
 
Not 100% but I think top 2 go through? and 3rd and 4th go to another round?
If we have to go to the 4th round, I reckon we’ll be fine anyway.
 
Aren't we now into the joke world cup where everyone gets a turn system?

Australia won't miss a world cup again with Asia getting that many spots.
48 out of 210 countries. Plenty still miss out.

There's no depth in Asia, it's different missing out in Europe or South America federations, UEFA and CONCACAF is it? I can never remember all the acronyms.

If we can't make it in with 8.5 Asian confederation spots, we simply suck.
