		Farina described it as a "fantastic opportunity" which he thought would be "wonderful", not only for the national team for the new A-League and the code in general.
		Farina pointed out Australia would have to play up to 18 qualifying games and could afford the occasional slip up, whereas the current format meant it had to produce the goods in two games over seven days every four years.
		It is believed Oceania and Asia officials have given their blessing to Australia's move with FIFA president Sepp Blatter, also understood to be in favour of the switch, which could be ratified in September in Morocco at a congress of the sport's world governing body.

		Australia have long argued that the process is unfair because their qualification effectively comes down to two sudden-death matches against opponents who have had the benefit of playing regular matches.
		Australia's failure to qualify for 2002 is set to have a devastating effect domestically, where the game is already a minor sport compared to the other football codes Australian Rules, rugby union and rugby league.
		Australia's defeat was front-page news in every major newspaper in the country but there was none of the devastation that followed the loss to Iran four years ago.

		Farina also justified the selection with the belief that Kewell would have more license to run at opponents due to the fact that Uruguay must relax it’s defence-minded style if it hopes to overturn the 1-0 deficit.
		While adamant his team would be 100 percent for the match, Farina admitted that some of the players were still feeling the effects of the long trip from Melbourne.
		I agree, Soccer Australia's rationale for a direct qualification spot is that Australia was loses one in the whole qualification and they go out while Uruguay loses 10 or something and still qualifies.
