NZ in asia confederation?

The problem is that OFC games as friendlies earn very few FIFA points. Points are seriously discounted for games being friendlies, and for the ranking of the team you play against, and for the Confederation you play in - all of which would add up to very few points for friendlies by the All Whites against Fiji. Games within a Confederation that are not friendlies earn significant points, especially when they are World Cup qualifying games. Our main problem is that we only have 6 such games in the current 4-year World Cup cycle. Other Confederations typically have at least that many games every year, hence their greater accumulation of points. For example, AFC, UEFA etc. have a long qualification process for their Confederation championship, then the event itself (Euro 2008, Asia Cup 2007), then a two-year World Cup qualifying process. If we win our 4 World Cup qualifying games later this year, we will be approx 100 in the ranking. That will be a good platform to move further up the ranking in 2008, and then 2009 - with Confederations Cup and final World Cup qualifying home-and-away games against the 5th-placed Asian nation to look forward to. Finally, the "invitation XI" games against Fiji were about preparing a group of players for the Olympic qualifying tournament - the bulk of the NZ players used were U23, and that qualifying tournament may well be held in Fiji.
