WC Football 2018

The four Asian representatives in the galaxy of 32 in the World Cup (WC) Football 2018 are Iran, Japan, Saudi Arabia and South Korea. The fifth one Australia are in fact an Oceania country from the geographical contiguity. So, we recommend to the FIFA to cut Australia from the AFC in order to return them to the parent continent, which will have at least one representative in the World Cup Football from 2022.
Now as regards the prospect of Asia in the ensuing WC, that will depend on the physical stamina, skills and shooting power. Another important factor is the referees, who can seal the fate of a match any time. Still we hope that Iran, Japan, Saudi Arabia and South Korea will play their best to produce few amazing results as did North Korea in 1966.
