Sounds like we will find out next Saturday the draw, but what if OFC & AFC are drawn together.

Some chance then that it could end up Socceroos v AWs in a playoff. Problem is we wouldn't know for certain until the 2 legged AFC playoff (is going to stay 2 legs??) of the two 3rd placed teams is completed early June 2022, who AFC team will be.

But if it ended up Aus verus NZ, would sort of be madness to play a one off game at a neutral venue, when TT border is highly likely to be open June 2022. Both FAs might be able to approach FIFA and organise a 2 legged H&A tie at the last minute, for late June. We are talking in the European club off season so that would help, re getting Euro based players down under in time.

Note Socceroos are currently 3rd in their AFC pool, and the other pool with UAE, Lebanon & Iraq fighting for 3rd does seem the weaker pool.
