It still better than being no 6 in a game which is played by 8 countries; and that too after begging teams like USA & Canada to play whose players are actually Indian amateurs. And our glorious near-superman players managing to win only against whatsitsname Bermuda.

India was the 1st asian country to be selected for the world cup.

India was 4th in the 1956 Melbourne olympics in soccer.

India has also won an Asian games Gold in soccer.

All this was before you were born & a sick attitude like yours did not exist then.

Now money is coming into soccer & you will see the results.

we must become asia number 1 in 20 years and stay at asia no.1 or 2 for a decade at least. Once we qualify for world cup players will get tv coverage and sponsorship and money will start flowing in.

IRAQ destroyed by war...are the Asian Champs. COuntries like Ivory coast,togo,ghana where civil war destroyed millions are qualify for world cup. I think football fed is responsible. Plzzzzz dont blame Cricket...

"Japan [Images] is the highest ranked Asian team at 34th place, ahead of Iran (41st), South Korea (42nd), Australia (48th) and Saudi Arabia (61st)."
The last time i studied geography australia was a whole seperate continent and had nothing to do with Asia even in terms of football....get things right people!!!!

You are right dude...geography did teach us that and it is correct. But for FIFA continental groupings Oceania is one group in which Australia is considered along with the other Asian teams. Otherwise, wouldnt Australia and New Zealand be the sole competitors from one continent? Last world cup Australia was selected from the Oceania group.

Australia and Newzealand play the qualifiers in the oceania group and the winner of which has a play-off with the 5th position asian team. The asian qualifiers do not have australia in any of their pools

guys get your facts right and try to be uptodate.......geography and football are two different subjects.....FIFA has clubbed Australia in Asian grouping and that has nothing to do with geography so get back to work and carry on with what u r doing......
