Interesting.Rumours circulating on twitter that there is a movement to vote Australia out of the AFC.
Its not clear who's calling for it but I would expect it would be the countries that have now missed out on WC spots since Australia joined.Interesting.Rumours circulating on twitter that there is a movement to vote Australia out of the AFC.
It would weaken the Asian Federation but I guess Australia is an easy target being last inducted?
Is it the Japanese or Koreans or the minnow nations who are more vocal? I'd suspect the latter.
I have no idea how it would work but I imagine it would be put up for a vote. Then obviously all the hallway deals are struck.How does the vote work? I know FIFA are corrupt as hell but surely there would need to be grounds for "dismissal"?
Could be all talk to disrupt the final preparations.
It's the West Asians that are the most vocal. Kuwait for example have always been against us joining.Interesting.Rumours circulating on twitter that there is a movement to vote Australia out of the AFC.

As long as it's not someone with real power pulling the strings.Storm in a tea cup surely ?
As I said I imagine it would be voted on if it got that far then I guess Fifa would have to come in and sort it out.It cannot be that easy to just kick out a country from a confederation.
What if oceania does not choose to take us back?
I imagine every confederation of fifa would need to approve when a country changes confederations.
Its possibly becoming an issue now due to us being in the asian cup final again , won the acl ( rather embarrassingly ) and put on an amazing asian cup with fantastic crowds
It's all just rumours on social media. I think it's sour grapes from things like us takings WC positions away from other countries and other loser talk of that nature.Where are these rumours circulating?
Are the rumours on social media or has there been a serious statement made by one of the Confederations board members?
After this successfully staged Asian Cup I can't imagine anyone in the upper echelons of the Asian Confederation wanting Australia out.
The "sour grapes" have already started and the final has not even been played.

Yes I was waiting for our mainstream media to weigh in.Apparently not just sour grapes:
