People are going on about the improvement of Asian teams. On a technical level, I agree, they've improved.
But results-wise, they're still not looking strong.
In the past five World Cups, how many Asian teams have made it to the semi-finals?
This is actually an interesting point and it has relevance to Australia's results in WCQs
I'd argue the only difference between this and the last cycle and previous ones where we finished second is Saudi Arabia have got their shit together (at least in Asia)
Where do most of the Saudis play?
Most (if not all?) In Saudi squad play in their domestic league
one of the few decent oil leagues
