From what I gather a "merger" or similar of Asia/oceania won't negatively affect CONCACAF and CONMEBOL. In the article above, the AFC boss talks about combining our .5 with their 4.5 to make 5 full spots coming from an AFC/OFC combo. If the OFC winner joins the AFC series in the second round or the like then that gives us competitve/winnable football with less trave - win/win. If OFC merges with AFC to become Asia Pacific FC then it works too. At least it is now being talked about seriously.
