The problem is, our budget will be limited and I consider the coach won't make a huge difference at the end of the day.

That's not to say I don't want us picking the best eligible players (without playing favorites or putting people in naughty corners) and playing attractive football...I just feel like no matter who the coach is we've got few chances of going through again.

But aren't Oceania playing off against the fifth best team in Asian qualifying next World Cup?

Surely that means we have some chance?

It could be Australia that we face in the play-off...that'd be awesome!!!!

Oops, thissed it when I meant to quote. I thought the intercontinental playoffs haven't been drawn yet. It could still be any one of the other 3 confederations

It seems to rotate though in a regular fashion doesn't it?

It seems most likely that we'll play AFC opposition.

FIFA have decided to keep the same qualifying format for 2022 as 2018.

Only Oceania, AFC, CONCACAF and CONMEBOL take part in inter-continental  play-offs

For the 2010, 2014 and 2018 tournaments the inter-continental play-offs have rotated in a regular fashion with no Confederation playing another Confederation twice.

We've had a play-off vs. AFC, CONCACAF and CONMEBOL the last three World Cups.

Seems only right that we play an AFC opponent for the 2022 tournament.
