Asia is sh*t

Not a single Mexican plays in the English Premier League, the bestest league in the world.

So I doubt they're very good.:roll:

Nery Castillo.
Zing.

Oh but I do agree with Bumble.
Mexico are the best of a very poor bunch. It's an outrage that they can send up to four teams to the world cup.

I think we should join CONCACAF.

It'd be really easy to qualify, three and a half spots and only playing rubbish sides like Jamaica and Mexico


mate australia would have a tougher time qualifying through concacaf than through asia, the central american teams when in form are hard to beat & if you have been following the concacaf qualifyer games the gap is closing between the big 3 mexico, u.s.a, costa rica & el salvador, honduras, guatemala & panama

CONCACAF is weak, but Mexico is anything but. I don't know what the f**k you're smoking. Also, Costa Rica and T&T are no pushovers. Guatemala and Honduras make a game of it and most others range for suck to supersuck.

Those sides are on par with the second tier nation in Asia. T&T snuck past Bahrain to qualify for the world cup. Costa Rica are that good they pick players from Melbourne.

We have seen Bahrain and they are average.

Australia would, IMO push Mexico to be the top side in that confederation. As would Japan.

I would much prefer Australia to qualify through concacaf. The UNited States and Mexico will never miss a world cup under the current format.

they had a draw with italy if memory serves me correct because i remember italy having a slow start and then we all know what eventuated ... i know serbia didn't get a point at all and neither did costa rica not sure if anyone else failed ...

You know they only get 3.5 spots to accommodate for the US occasionally having a rough qualifying run. Can't be a World Cup without the big US TV dollars :p

Jesus, you are deluded.

No, I think you are.

We'd certainly finish second.

We're better than the UNited States.

Mexico aren't that good either. They are a good side, but not one Australia would fear. We actually have a good record against them.

go back to the 2002 world cup ... they got their arse handed to them by poland ... an early own goal from portugal seals the match before portugal score ... they beat the might of mexico :lol: and even though they caught germany on the flank a few times the only person good enough to beat kahn was ronaldo ...

the USA are so overrated it's not funny ... and that landon donavon is so overrated he should be playing for england ... he's failed everytime he's gone to bayer leverkusen but he scores about 30 goals in 10 matches in the MLS

please ... the USA are a joke ... concacaf should get ONE spot ... i guarentee the USA wouldn't be qualifying if mexico only had one chance to make the world cup

I'm beginning to think you're just joking.

By the way, you support a League One side and one which gets by on playing in a total sh*t comp. Why the double standards?

Dude, I used the word 'bestest' in my argument...did you think I was serious?

Now I'm not on the wind-up, I agree with you completely.

Mexico are a very good side but the USA are a joke. No way they deserve practically automatic qualification.

Ha, I'm not defending my own country. Our Nats manage to choke all the time. Our league fields some great starting XIs but can't reach into their pockets for any depth. Poke fun at the US all you want. I was arguing for Mexico--our death-flopping, ref-blaming, urine-bag-throwing rivals. Nevertheless, they are good.
