The powers that be were disappointed at Asia's showing the last World Cup, only Australia made it past group play. An Asian Soccer Overhaul is probably a good idea. Dude, you've got almost half of the world's population, find some guys to get it done on the pitch. Now that the MLS is into the star-poaching phase of their existence, it'll be interesting to see if Australia, Japan or Saudi Arabia start snatching stars as well.
(Hopefully, young (economically intelligent) Americans will realize that the worldwide market for so-so soccer players is way bigger than the market for oft-injured football players. If the 256th best football player in USA played soccer, that guy and the game of soccer would both be better off and the NFL wouldn't even notice the loss. I'm just saying...)
