They don't deserve anything. The standard of football in Oceania compared to the rest of the world is pathetic.
It'd be terrible preparation for the WC Finals if we had automatic qualification. Where would the tough games be? (as Valeo alluded to in a prior post).
We couldn't trust FIFA with this anyway, remember how they balked on Oceania's automatic path in 2006? One moment we thought the winner of the Socceroos v All Whites games would be enough, 'nek minute' we were confronted with the fifth place South American side.
