Steve 0 Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 (edited) I think that our qualification for the second round shows that Oceania truly does deserve an automatic World Cup qualification spot. We made the second round while teams like the Czech Rebublic, Poland, Serbia and Croatia did not. Europe gets too many places, places that should be spread around the world. Give South America four places, and take one away from Europe to be given to Oceania. Discuss. Edited June 28, 2006 by Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 46182 Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Steve, I'll answer your question if you'll first talk me through Lucas Neill's tackling HORRORSHOW from the 93rd minute of the Italy game. If you could give me a brief rundown of the MAJESTY of Totti's penalty too, I would be grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 15742 Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 True, now that Australia are playing in the Asian groups, I think it would be a fine idea to give Oceania an automatic qualification spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10977 Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 There is one strong footballing nation in Oceania (well there was) why should they get an automatic World cup qualification spot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can't then they don't deserve to be there tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asia and CONCACAF both all inflated in this cup. Take away the .5 from CONCACAF for certain, but it won't go below 3. Africa should have at least 5, six might be a stretch. Oceania w/o Australia doesn't deserve a .5 slot. They should play off with an Asian country for the chance at a playoff against S. America.

Try looking at the circumstances of how you qualified then open your mouth. Edited June 28, 2006 by Bellers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheInspiration 1 Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I agree though, now that Australia have had a semi-successful World Cup, it's now far to give an automatic place for New Zealand (unless the mighty Soloman Islands and American Samoa can challenge them for a place).
