Personally I always thought the Phoenix and AFC were lucky to be part of the Australia Cup. There are no Aussie teams in the Chatham Cup?
There are no Aussie teams that compete in our national league. Not really a fair comparison.
Yes & No comparison. Didn't the APL (Stephen Conroy?) call the A League an "Australasian league"? I mean the clubs run the A League (incl the two NZ outfits).
So distinct in itself from the Australia Cup run by Football Australia.
FYI - Liechtenstein's FC Vaduz plays in the Swiss league system (currently in the 2nd tier Challenge League) but does not participate in the Swiss Cup. Yes both countries in same UEFA Confed. Since 1997-98 Vaduz has only once not won the Liechtenstein Football Cup!
Liechtenstein does not have it's own football league.
Again you are comparing different scenarios.
Wales has its own league and cup separate from the English ones, yet they have teams that compete in the English leagues and cups - and not in the Welsh ones.
