Not economically? Six of Australia's top ten trading partners (and four of the top five) are Asian.

If they want to be a part of our league, how about showing us some respect? NZ HAVE to accept that we (i.e. Australia) have farked off from their shitty little corner of the world to play football in Asia.

If they want to continue to have an isolated South Pacific “local rivals” mentality, then fine, but we’re NOT a part of it.

That’s all.



How about you show a little respect? You can start by STFU.

Asia is bounded by the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Pacific Ocean to the east, the Indian Ocean to the south, the inland seas of the Atlantic Ocean—the Mediterranean and the Black—to the southwest, and Europe to the west. Asia is separated from North America to the northeast by the Bering Strait and from Australia to the southeast by the seas and straits connecting the Indian and Pacific oceans. The Isthmus of Suez unites Asia with Africa, and it is generally agreed that the Suez Canal forms the border between them. Two narrow straits, the Bosporus and the Dardanelles, separate Anatolia from the Balkan Peninsula.

Come back when you have found a source that includes Australia within Asia.

In terms of tectonic plates, Australia is separate, but that's about it. Nowadays, Australia is essentially part of Asia, economically, culturally, etc.

Sack this bloke immediately. Australia is a part of the Asian Football Confederation whether you like it or not NZ.
