Asia Cup Football
The 17th edition of the Asia Cup Football have reached the second round with 16 nations, however,none from the South Asia. The line up is China versus Thailand, Iran V Oman, Jordan V Japan, South Korea V Qatar, hosts UAE V Kyrgyzstan and Australia V Uzbekistan.
South Asian representative India fell to the partisan referring, other wise they would have been found against Iran in the second match of the Round of 16.
In the round of 16, East Asia have four representatives, Central Asia three, South East Asia two, including Australia, and West Asia seven. Australia are defending Champions and they should be sent back to parent continent Oceania and the FIFA should allot at least one World Cup quota without pause. As long as the FIFA do not grant Oceania quota, Australia should play in Asia.
