SO Danny Invincible will not be going to the World Cup unless it is as a spectator.
Australia's dream of a place in the finals was ended by Uruguay. Adver Towers is not bereft of Australians and the Socceroos' defeat was met with gloom.
Why should the Aussies have to keep going through this play-off heartbreak? They knew the rules before their qualifying campaign began but the rules are ridiculous.
Is there any reason why the Oceania group should be penalised? How can it be right that the Aussies have to play-off to reach the finals against a South American side that finished nowhere in their group?
Uruguay have not so much got to the World Cup through the back door. They've kicked in the cat flap and somehow squeezed through.
How can you have a truly 'world' cup with a large chunk of the world missing?
FIFA. World governing body? You're a joke fellas.
