If we are talking hypotheticals, what about if OFC got merged into CONMEBOL? Make a South America/Pacific confederation with 5 WC spots. CONMEBOL gets an extra half a WC spot and some cannon fodder for their weaker teams, OFC gets regular games against quality opposition. Auckland City could play in the Copa Liberaderos! The distance between Brazil and NZ would be less than the distance between NZ and the Middle East, and probably roughly the same as the distance to Japan
