I don't think I said anywhere that the Nix would play in the OFC champions league... If I said that in the past then I take it back now. In fact by making OFC players count as "Asian" for ACL purposes then it would remove one of the big barriers to the Nix being able to compete in the ACL.

As for FIFA deciding who plays who in the WC playoff that's true I think, but didn't it get changed from AFC v OFC and CONCACAF v CONMEBOL after lobbying from CONCACAF? So lobbying in the other direction could help.

AJ is probably right though, it won't happen in the next couple of WC cycles and then there'll probably be a 40 team WC anyway. Which will be too big but FIFA just want to squeeze as much cash from the WC as they can
