NEW.ERA Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Just like Australia did In Africa- Nigeria is in after Newcastle striker Obfemi Martins scores two in the second half.- All Cameroon has to do is hold on to their 2-0 lead against Morocco and they are in.- And later on the hated rivalry that is Algeria v Egypt the winner will advance to South Africa.

MattF Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 - And later on the hated rivalry that is Algeria v Egypt the winner will advance to South Africa.Not necessarily, if Egypt win 2-0, they will be even on every single tiebreaker, and the two teams will play Wednesday in a one game playoff, but any other scoreline and the winner is through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So New Zealand can prove their worth playing Japan, Korea, Australia, Iran, etc.Funny you mention Australia, as what NEP said, that is exactly what they did. As much as I agree with the merging, probably to the style of a CONCACAF format (at least amongst the lesser football nations), can we please see how the Kiwis perform at the World Cup to demand change to the format?

Australia realized they werent doing themselves any favours beating up on Tahiti and the Cook Islands, so they moved to the AFC. It's not only New Zealand that will benefit. The small island nations can take on the likes of Guam, Maldives, Macau, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
