[QUOTE="Steve-o, post: 207810"] I know you're not really advocating for the pacific islands, but please NEVER again should that discussion be brought up. Honestly, they have no money to support a team. Never have and never will, therefore it should never be brought up again as a possible place of expansion. Is it a sad indicment of the world? Absolutly, but there's nothing that can be done about it. They CANNOT support a franchise, so stop supporting this idea. If you want to talk about the viabiltity of the US just look at my previous posts, I've told you all you possibly need to know. Quite, frankly I believe that Japan is the best option, with both the infastructure and the money to support it but it's that's cash cow possiblity of the US that has the NZRU about to blow a load over. I guess this goes along the same lines but, I have now changed positioned on who should have been awarded the world cup. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity for the the NZRU to leverage with the NZ government to get new stadiums and new upgrades, but this hasn't happened. So I'd just like to say I'm switching sides, even though I will be in NZ and I will be living in a tent in my brother's backyard in Wellington, I wish this was in Japan. /drunken ramblings.

BTW SANZAR has included the PI's in their expansion draft. [/QUOTE]
