NZ & Asia

[midfielder]

A couple of articles coming out of the Lowy Institute about NZ & Asia..

The first talks about Football links to Asia... http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/PO1006/S00006.htm

The second is a link in the above article about NZ & Asia especially China...

[Mr Cleansheets]

Without having bothered to read your links midfielder, I wonder if they say what FL has said before...that Oceania should be absorbed into Asia and/or become a subgroup of Asia and/or Asia be split into east and west federations.

My personal view is that any of these are better options than the status quo. What use is Oceania to anyone in its current state? NZ would have desperately resisted Australia leaving but would now be itching to get out themselves.

I say all of the above without any kind of clue as to whether I'm making sense. It's just my instinct, based on my prejudices and the various gaps in my knowledge.

So don't bother pointing that out.
