Due to FIFA's reverse flip 10 million dollars of sponsorship is possibly going to be withdrawn.

Businesses will no longer support oceania teams because they won't have any guarantee on what they will get.
This is not a one off, as it can happen again for 2010. Who can guarantee this, when a decision is changed within a year.

Oceania shouldn't have been given the full place originally, but to pull it now is a financial disaster for Oceania.

As i wrote in my other post i didnt support the decision to give Oceania a direct route to the world cup but for FIFA to first make an announcement and then turn their back on it was very unprofessional!

I agree plus why do people all the time say the OFC never deserved the spot. Like i always say it was to develop and be fair to the region.

the CSF should foot the bill for their highway robbery.
