I guess since Australians shouldnt have this big of a trouble to get a visa to the US it's not that breaking news - this news only covers the "critical" teams coming from China/SEA (excluding Oceania)

What he said. Only teams that will have issues with visas are the Chinese and Malaysian teams. Not sure about Europe, but I doubt they will have a hard time getting it.

Probably the "big news" is actually not aL getting their visa, but they are meeting a prime minister and a famous former AFL player for the interviews.

They have more than 100% chance of getting into top8? Since if the format is the same as last year, every top2 from each group was put into top bracket and bottom two into lower bracket, but every single one of the 16 teams got out of the group stages.

Nic*L talking without a clue, what else is new? :)
