Yea for india this is of least significance... may be you guys are right about the monetary benifits and competitive benifits for top side... But mentally the image when Australia lifted AFC asia cup still looks bad for asian football to me personally
If AFC gained Australia, we also lost Kazakhastan which is Asian country, play in Asian Games but went to UEFA. Israel is also technically in Asia. Guam is in Oceania but comes under AFC. So we lost 2 and gained 2 nations.
I think AFC should get Netherlands, they are struggling in Europe and will surely bring more money. It will provide butt loads of competition as well! Cyapa
Who will quit UEFA for AFC. In UEFA there are guaranteed number of matches against world class teams who display quality football. If you can have a chance to play against Germany, England, Spain, Italy, France and be among the elite, why waste the opportunity. In fact if given channce or possible, India should join UEFA for betterment. Turkey, Israel, Kazhakstan did a very good decision to join UEFA.
In a way, I am for 'Asia for Asian teams' dictum. Consider the likes of Kazakhstan, Israel, Azerbaijan, Armenia in Asian groups. The whole power structure in Asia may change. The general level will definitely rise.
And Arab countries ganging up against Israel should not be tolerated. This should get Asia rid off the rich and powerful Shaikhs.
