U come to Australia and see how many Chinese, malaysians, singaporeans, Vietnamese, Koreans, indians and so on, and u tell me why they wouldn't "call themselves Asians"

This^

Don't be so KB la bro. You always have the need to reply to every post eh?

And yet, I know bunch of them hate us Asians. Scared of Oceanians teams and declared themselves as a part of Asia. Pffft. Mehh.

butthurt

Yes. Right Captain Obvious. Mr Know-It-All. Apparently, knows shit about Butt.

jangan easily butthurt la bro

Oh yes the WISE one.

ya la ya la Mr. Butt-sensitive...quote u also emo

dont reli get what u mean..if u mean Racism, not really. it's a pretty diverse country if u ask me. lots of local asians as well.

and going into AFC is easier route for them, while for AFC, brings in another big profile is good for business, win win. if follow the Oceania path, Australia would have to beat other countries like 10-0, and only able to meet the loser of the AFC group to qualify.

i thought Oceania's team need to play against South America's 5th place for a qualification berth? changed d ka?

i think change d...thats the 2006 edition, where Australia meet Paraguay, and euphorically win on penalties (John Aloisi became national hero). But for 2010, New Zealand played Bahrain If im not mistaken.

Oceania

Qualification in Oceania is composed of two rounds. The first round took place at the 2007 South Pacific Games, with the top 3 teams advancing to a final round group stage with New Zealand. The winner of the final group stage (New Zealand) will then play against the winner of the playoff between the two 3rd-placed Asian sides for a spot in the finals. This is a major change from the initial FIFA information on Oceania's qualification which suggested inclusion in the second Asian group stage.

this is from Wikipedia

so it had been changed...but then again, i think following the Oceania route is still easier than following the longer Asia qualifying rounds?

The fact is Oceania doesn't have a fixed spot for World Cup, and it's a danger because the play-off is a gamble. For example, Australia needed a penalty shootout to qualify for 2006 (one of the last country to qualify), but by winning the AFC group stages they ended up being on of the first countries to qualify for 2010.

looks like they also know "biar lambat, asalkan selamat"

Lol serves them aussies right. Those guys are really racist. To chinese,indians,basically all asians,and even blacks,who they call wogs.

What i dont understand is the world cup in qatar. You dont even have to be cynical to wonder if FIFA were more interested in money than anything else..

If money is involved USA would've gotten it easily. I think it is more of a political move more than anything else.

yes only football, australia didn't take part in the asia game also.

Lol. If racism is the measure whether or not a country gets the WC, then USA, England, Qatar and in fact, every single country won't deserve it.

Apart from occasional crazy hobos and bogans, I don't really encounter race issues from my everyday Aussie peers. Maybe those people I know are intellectual reasonable people.
