You know what just like in Qatar the world cup in the middle east is probably better for Australia.

We can piss and moan about the ethics of FIFA and what not but whats the point there scum.

From an onfield perspective we play there a shit load and i reckon the conditions acclimatising to them through numerous Asian Cup & World Cup Qualifying campaigns helps us.

When we came up against the likes of Denmark or look at other European countries who dont play in it whatsoever they didn't really do that well.

You can't tell me our experience of playing in those conditions constantly didn't give us an advantage in 2022 to get us to the next round. It was basically like a home ground advantage in a way.

They should hold the World Cup in Townsville if they want testing conditions.... Only problem would be the tournament would go for 10+ weeks to give everyone enough recovery time after each game....

Are Australian soccer players more used to playing in air-conditioned shopping malls than the Dutch?

There will be 48 teams in the tournament so at least Australia should qualify
