Well, Homare Sawa won the Ballon d’Or, so that’s fine.

Why on earth is Asia given 9 slots? Seriously.
Africa had 9/10, Europe 10/13, South America 5/6, and North/Central America 3/6 qualify.

Apparently, nirvana is called Nirvāṇa 💀

Because it’s huge and there are many countries.

It’s just that more participating countries mean more profit.

21 Name: Unknown Japuzz Watcher Posted: 26/07/05(Sun) 12:55:24 ID:Y0BQ
Asian qualifiers: 225 matches, 5 million attendance.
Europe: 204 matches, 4.4 million.
South America: 90 matches, 3.4 million.
Africa: 249 matches, 1.4 million.

Asia is where the money is.

Long ago, they say the Taijitu was created by a person named Fuxi… cute, isn’t it?

“Asia is weak, but some countries are rich, so we’ll give you special treatment with extra slots.”
LOL

26 Name: Unknown Japuzz Watcher Posted: 26/07/05(Sun) 12:56:17 ID:onbf
It’s clear they aren’t performing well despite having so many slots.

29 Name: Unknown Japuzz Watcher Posted: 26/07/05(Sun) 12:56:56 ID:UNDd
It’s tough for Asia because we can’t play against other Asian teams.

30 Name: Unknown Japuzz Watcher Posted: 26/07/05(Sun) 12:56:57 ID:uJN6
They probably just think they should let teams in based on FIFA ranking order.

32 Name: Unknown Japuzz Watcher Posted: 26/07/05(Sun) 12:57:06 ID:jMxz
To be shouting that the Asian slots are justified after embarrassing themselves like this… it’s a national trait.

40 Name: Unknown Japuzz Watcher Posted: 26/07/05(Sun) 12:59:00 ID:jMxz
“We are weak, but please treat us specially because there are many of us.”

Sounds like something a Chinese person would say, lol.

45 Name: Unknown Japuzz Watcher Posted: 26/07/05(Sun) 13:01:14 ID:jMxz
Asia gets special treatment because China and the Middle East ignore human rights to pour money into it.
So jealous~ lol

It’s a tournament to decide the world’s best, so I don’t really care about regional slots.
It’s their own fault if they can’t qualify.

54 Name: Unknown Japuzz Watcher Posted: 26/07/05(Sun) 13:02:48 ID:7ixQ
We’re doing well considering we have a handicap called Moriyasu.

57 Name: Unknown Japuzz Watcher Posted: 26/07/05(Sun) 13:04:50 ID:OA1f
Well, it doesn’t really matter from Japan’s perspective.
Just let Italy play instead.

The problem is on the Chinese side—they expand the Asian slots because they want Chinese money, yet they never get any stronger.

62 Name: Unknown Japuzz Watcher Posted: 26/07/05(Sun) 13:08:02 ID:uJN6
Our personalities and ethnicities aren’t that different, so why can’t China get as strong as South Korea?

65 Name: Unknown Japuzz Watcher Posted: 26/07/05(Sun) 13:10:21 ID:jMxz
The level of European qualifiers is so high that it’s hard to earn ranking points.
Japan and South Korea were padding their stats in the lower-level Asian qualifiers.

70 Name: Unknown Japuzz Watcher Posted: 26/07/05(Sun) 13:24:37 ID:jLfx
From Japan’s perspective, expanding Asian slots should be welcomed as it leads to an increase in the level of Asian football.

71 Name: Unknown Japuzz Watcher Posted: 26/07/05(Sun) 13:27:12 ID:cm4v
The extreme view that we shouldn’t participate is crap, but 4 Asian slots for 32 teams is the best balance.
