I'm gonna do a kurt and complain about how FIFA is biased against India and therefore intentionally put us in a tough group.
@R7: I'll support Kuwait for sure...just make sure you defeat KSA!!!

No,the reason behind it.
Not only that,these people have been through masacres,and their country is filled with terrorism,and Usa forces.They are trying to build a country out of this corruption.The fact that they've won the Asian cup is impressive enough.
It's other people that he's considering them their "rival",even though that's not important;it's just a silly match in a sports game...
I don't know I just felt it wasn't right,calling it "low" is an exaggeration though I agree.

I do understand what you're trying to say, but I disagree.
For starters, the countries are in close proximity to one another, that's generally enough for something to be labelled a 'rivalry'. There's also a history between the countries, which again, will mean that fans/people of the countries will consider it a rivalry. Put both of these together and you're going to get a rivalry.
It'd be like saying that calling Germany/Holland or England/Ireland a rivalry is low, it's not, it's just how the people feel about each other.
In any case, rivalries are a good thing. Without them, sport would be dull - so long as fans don't take it too far. If there's no trouble caused, then it's good for the sport.

It'd be funny if Oz win it.
England should enter the North American cup next or something, just so we win a trophy. International football is becoming a joke.

I still never got why Australia got moved to Asia, was it just to get them into the World Cup and qualify against better opposition? As they'd always qualify from their zone but not beat the South Americans in the play-offs. Yet, New Zealand did just that last time!

Jan 23 2011, 12:52 PM
I think their reasoning was lack of competition. It's hard to improve when you're winning 32-0 I suppose.
You shouldn't just be allowed to move region though, it just undermines the whole point. I can sort of understand Israel having to play in Europe, but even I don't agree with that. If some Asian countries have a problem with Israel, **** 'em off and let Israel play.

Was that happening every game though? I mean I know they won by that once.
I think the reason was there frustration of having to play the South American's who would almost always beat them until 2006.

I do not believe in changing origins like regions. I think a team (and what is a part of it) is the location and should stick to it. However, I do not mind invitation plays at tournaments, like in Copa America 2011, 日本 has been invited to play for the second time. The last time we played there we managed to take point and score, which is part of our history, it makes me proud.
I also remember back in the days when a player could play for several country teams.
Australia is map wise, very close to countries in Asia, which may add to it.
Though in football it may be debated about other parts of a country to affect it, like, I think Iraq does not play matches at home.
