They weren't until OFC lost their auto bid a few years back in favor of the CONMEBOL/CONCACAF playoff. When that happened they applied to transfer to the AFC, which if we're honest, is just as easy, because it'll only ever be South Korea, Japan, and Australia competing with MAYBE Iran and Saudi Arabia occasionally for 4-5 spots. The Qatar auto-bid is really pissing those three off at the moment, because Qatar's NT is hot garbage. I'm actually surprised Russia hasn't considered the same move, seeing as how their path would become MUCH easier, and they'd be higher in the WC draw by winning their confederation, something they'd never do in UEFA qualifying.

Russia is too buy trying to prove their weight against the European Nations politically to decide to separate to Asia in Soccer. They want to be the anti Europe in a way.

So, I guess Soton gets the dubious task of running the Europa League qualification rounds...where are they heading to first Azerbaijan?

On a serious note, I could actually see them trying to make a run at it. Their ownership and management are realistic enough to know qualifying for the CL by other means is probably not possible from them at this point.

West Ham gets the same distinction as well. They have to go from round 1 as well, meaning 8 matches before the group stage could even begin.

I was hoping Villa would win because I'd like to see them relegated next year...but oh well, guess we'll just have to hope they stink without getting help from Europe next year.

I do agree that Soton might make a run at Europa. Truthfully, any Premier League side not named Liverpool or Tottenham should. That being said, it's known that Koeman hates Europa League play...so it's hard to say how he'll manage it.

I don't want the World Cup to be in the USA because I fear that the soccer overcome football... Am I being stupid ?

Who cares where the investigation starts? We had the balls to do it. What the F is Brazil doing exactly? As they definitely had their hand in the cookie jar as well. F them. Brazil and corruption go hand in hand and now their stadiums they just built are falling apart. Big shocker. They can't even provide water to their own citizens. "No tradition with soccer." Go Get F'd Brazil - snotty ignorant ********. Glad Germany pushed their sh*t in. F'n hypocrites. Hope Chile teabags them in the Copa.

It won't in the near future but it will continue to grow here.

How is Brazil the Third World? I know there's a sharp gap between the wealthy and impoverished but Third World?

First soccer has to beat out several college sports for popularity.

Soccer is missing that transcendent American talent needed to bring American consciousness to the sport regularly. Right now American talent is like the NBA when it was just 6' and under guys playing a floor game.
