Unreal goalkeeping, promotion winning goals and an AFC Cup win: Australians around the globe team of the week
Cameron Burgess scored the winner to confirm Ipswich’s status as a Premier League club.
We should forget about the Wellington problem and instead focus on a solution. The obvious is for New Zealand to join the AFC. The remaining nations should compete for one spot and that one spot should enter the AFC qualifications at the round two stage.
We would then retain the current system, where five teams from Asia would qualify for the World Cup.
As it stands, I can’t see New Zealand beating Qatar, Bahrain, Uzbekistan, North Korea or Saudi Arabia over two matches.
Maybe the Emirates. But not Australia, Iran, Japan or South Korea either. Now even Iraq or China.
New Zealand will just fall into the same routine as the Socceroos had for years.
Below average competition as preparation, then two games until the next four year cycle.

Who stood out from the Australians both here and overseas in a busy week of the world game? Goalkeeper - Mathew Ryan- 3-0 win…
Even though St.Pauli ultimately lost a high-scoring affair, Jackson Irvine was a standout, as well as scoring a late goal.
What if we celebrated all of the achievements big and small, and weeded out those hell-bent on bringing down a game that is doing a hell of a lot right?
A good performance from Michael Ruhs, scoring twice to beat Macarthur and doubling his season goal tally in the process.
