>>76705411
not really the point.

teams like Romania, Serbia, Sweden, Turkey don't get to go to the World Cup becaue absolute trash like Honduras, Australia, Iran and New Zealand are guaranteed places everytime because they come from a weak zone

its ridiculously unfair
>>
>>76707403
europe gets like 13 or 14 spots, more than any other confederation, and you guys still want more spots for yourselves?

it's called world cup so even if teams like Honduras & random asian are low-tier they still have the right to qualify for wc if they win their qualifiers.
there's already the uefa euro if you want to see a pure european Nt tourney.

Couple of the smaller carribbean nations should just combine and have one team, same with the teams in the OFC.

Actually, OFC itself should just be thrown in with the AFC, have the Arab League be its own Federation.
>>
>>76706439
Eh, they overachieved for 1 cup but also remember Honduras went 0-3 and wasn't competitive as a fourth team. There shouldn't be 4 teams from our region getting in. 2.5 seems right. Of of memory I think concacaf is 27 wins, 63 losses, and 27 draws all time in the world cup. AFCs worse now though. Uefa really does get screwed and conmebol to a lesser extent.
>>
>>76707671
3.5 is fine for CONCACAF, but if the fourth team wants to qualify they should play against a team from Europe or South America.
>>
>>76706759
Money. Ironically the worst teams in the world hope to draw the best in the qualifiers.

Still a massive waste of everyone else's time though, beating shop workers in San Marino by double figures just disrupts a manager's preparation. A better system would be their own qualifying group and the winner is wildcarded to the proper tournament or something.

CONMEBOL qualifiers are the most entertaining in the world because anything can happen and only the very best NTs qualify because we have the perfect number of spots. More spots would make our qualifiers boring and predictable because only Venezuela would not qualify.

UEFA qualifying is unironically the worst, even worse than this shit. Sure it sucks that you just have a tournament that virtually guarantees Mexico and USA in the finals every time, but at least they do that pre-qualifying shit to weed out all the pointless games.

England have qualified for the last few Euros and World Cups with easy purely because of the way the seeding system works. We keep getting lucky draws with the shittiest teams from each pot which ensures that we will win most matches, qualify, stay high enough in FIFA rankings to be pot one for the next draw, and it repeats forever more. Some of the matches are completely pointless as well. Does anybody really need to see England v San Marino? Spain v Liechtenstein? Italy v Malta? Germany v Andorra? It's fucking nonsensical and should not ever be happening.

They should have all the pot six cunts in a pre-qualifying group, and then the winner of that group gets to play in another pre-qualifying group with the pot five shitters, then we pick the top 1, 2 or 3 teams from that group, whatever number we need to make the main qualifying section have an even number of teams to work well for qualifying. So essentially you'd only have about 40 teams in the qualifiers, which is probably still a few too many, but we'll see how it goes like this. Roughly 8 groups of 5, pretty much all matches would be meaningful, only very strong teams would run away with any of the groups, most groups would be very tight and interesting. The teams that aren't total shit would have more opportunity to organise friendlies against meaningful opposition and prepare more effectively for proper matches.

I'd also consider a model for qualifying where the top two teams from each group qualify for the finals. We might be able to work with a number like 42 which could give us 7 groups of 6, so the top 2 from each group would leave 14 qualifiers which is enough for the World Cup. Change the Euros back to 16 teams so this works for that too.

Why do people insist on going after CONCACAF instead of the AFC?

Mexico, USA, and Costa Rica are all likely better than any single team in the AFC right now, and you'd certainly take Panama over whoever will be the last team in from Asia.

Also, has anybody bothered to look at CAF qualification recently? Who the fuck is even the best team in that conference right now? Egypt? Congo? It's a shitshow.

>>76716968
all you need is one f*ck up in a campaign and that circle might never come back
Greece was pot 1-2 onwards from 2004 till 2014.
One bad campaign (possibly fraud, I mean, it took a year for a team to lose to Faroe Islands and then draw pot 1-2 teams like Lelgium and Keksnia?) and we re stuck in the ratings in 40s, currently being the 23rd team in European ratings.
Be sure that this f*ck up will come for all the high pot teams that really don't exactly deserve to be that high.
Switzerland-England-Wales-Poland are gonna have a hard time sooner or later.
>>
>>76717204

>>
>>76717287
England never might. They do just enough year after year on raw individuals and qualify consistently to tournaments. The other three definitely, though, especially one-man nothing squads like Poland and Wales.

Europe has some very good teams, like 5-6 World Cup Favorites each time in

>occassional Netherlands/Portugal
Some very decent with a good run in
>Croatia
>Belgium
The rest teams qualifying are fillers.

But I agree with you on that. The rest of the teams just hope to reach the Groupstage. I always am very proud when our team reaches some Final Groupstages. Not to mention that Good players from bad leagues have eyes on them and can hope for a good transfer (James Rodriguez to Madrid/Manolas to Roma/Depay to United are a few of the 2014 ones). When you have automatic qualification like USA has, you don't think of it as such big. And its pretty obvious that when you reach the World Cup every time like USA does, you ll have many more chances to escpae the Groupstages , like USA did. Let it pass. Noone is gonna agree that the WC is EU vs South America nad the res teams are just fillers. We re talking about 4 continents being fillers.
>>
>>76715913
I wonder if they were told they had a chance beforehand
>>
>>76717509
As I said you need one f*ck up in campaign mate. One pot 2 team like France/Italy/Portugal ending up in the next England's Group. And maybe a pot 3 team like Slovakia or any average team that can make a surprise and its game over. Fail qualification once and this is it. Not to mention that even play-offs if they finish 2nd could be hard for them as they re not used to doing it.

Anon please. Apply your distribution of Uefa teams to conmelel and it looks like
>Brazil
>occassional argies

Germany, Spain, France and Italy all won it since expansion to 32 teams (and Brazil won a deeply corrupt one in 2002). Argies have struggled in the last 3 decades only reaching the finals once in 2014 after the most boring run since 1990. Holland made the finals in 2010 and finished 3rd in 2014 after raping Brazil once more. Holland are dogshit now but so are Italy. Italy's squad is JUST. If they fail in play-offs this year it won't be a big surprise. Holland might not even make the play-offs. France almost failed last year needing a Sakho goal that shouldn't have stood. Sweden v. Portugal was very close. Fillers in Uefa are stronger than a lot of the weak dogshit that reaches the World Cup.

You guys are idiots. Canada sucks for the same reason the US doesn't make Brazil's dominance in the World Cup look like child's play.

Neither country was even marginally aware of the sports existence until a few decades ago. Difference is, the US has over 350 million people, while Canada has a 1/10th of that so we've obviously become competitive much faster.

Iceland's favourite (local) """sports""" are strongman Championships, pissing on sharks, Huldufólk racing, etc. They have worldclass strongman champions and unlike handegg, boreball, etc. Icelanders face international competition.

Not true. Our governing body is so fucking retarded we can't get our quality players into the national team system (which is also a joke).

Ontario has a population of 14 million and produces quality players. The problem is that unless you're pay $4500 a year to play in the "elite development league" you don't get looked at. There are a ton of amazing players in academies and at the club level that are never looked at.

We have a pay to play system that excludes 90% of our talent.

Do Brazil players get to use these kind of facilities? Even my school has an entire gym in a hyperbaric chamber. The funds my school is allowed to spend on sports are probably only a tiny fraction of what Brazil have to work with.

High altitude matches are a crap part of conmelel qualifiers. Your problem to deal with and those cities won't see a World Cup final event. If conmelel FAs join forces Fifa will ban high altitude matches. If you can't agree to ban them/agree to do nothing about them, you don't get to moan about it.

Does Europe only have one group? No, then I don't see why you bring this up. If the group is like that is just Netherlands fault. Not qualifying to a 24 teams Euro fucked up their ranking. Crying because they have a hard group is lame.

Does the CONCACAF group is better than that European group? Probably. Obvioulsy France is far better than anyone else. But Sweden and Netherñands are arguabily worse than the top 3 CONCACAF teams. They couldnt advance to round of the 16 best teams in Europe while USA, Mexico and Costa Rica could advance to the Round of the best 16 teams in the world.

Yeah they were good in the 2014 WC, but after that they have been shit, that why they fucked up their FIFA rankings and now have a hard group because of that. France was in the Pot 1, Sweden in 2 and Holland in 2 IIRC.

Netherlands are much better than any team in CONCACAF. Sweden is leading the group because France and Netherlands are notorious chokers. It wouldn't surprise me if we win the group but we could also end up third..

Sweden didn't qualify to Brazil. We haven't played a world cup for ages so I don't see how you can use 2014 as an argument. Not many player from back then are still playing for Sweden since we changed our entire squad after 2016 Euros.
>>
>>76721573
>the group I was refering was the one they are right now in the qualifiers
>Also a correction, Spain was the Pot 1 team in the World Cup, not Netherlands
I was referring to the current WCQs when I said Holland were a pot 1 team and France + Italy were pot 2 teams during the draw. Holland's Fifa rankings were still good, i.e. why they were a pot 1 team in the current WCQs. France were the pot 2 team and Sweden the pot 3 team in Holland's current WCQs group. So no Holland didn't fuck up their rankings and ended in a hard group because of that draw (France's rankings were fucked up because they didn't have to qualify for France2016).
Also, the current Holland team isn't worse than in 2014. Holland had one of the worst teams in their history back then as well. Robben played out of his skin and carried Holland which was filled with toddlers. At least the toddlers have gained experience since 2014 but after a massive overperformance they regressed and have now underperformed, i.e. euro Qs disaster. If you bring up "USA, Mexico and Costa Rica could advance to the Round of the best 16 teams in the world" then compare with how Holland performed at that same WC knocking out two of those sides and claiming 3rd place. The US were knocked out by another Uefa side.
>>
So... 75% of the teams made it out of group
>>
>>76721787
Funny you should say that because Romania were somehow pot 1 for 2018 qualifying and got a relatively straight forward group. Let's take a look at some of their results thus far:

Romania 1-1 Montenegro
Kazakhstan 0-0 Romania
Armenia 0-5 Romania
Romania 0-3 Poland
Romania 0-0 Denmark
Poland 3-1 Romania

You're currently 4th and qualification hopes were practically ended 5 games in despite being pot 1. I wouldn't be arguing with the North Americans about their qualifying groups because i doubt you'd even manage to get to the Hex.

The US and Mexico actually held their own in the last couple World Cups and Costa Rica made it to the Quarters. We are the third best region

it is a game of sheer odds, you can "win" by taking a pot shot from mid field in the 92' minute past a slightly off balance keeper

Well since the 4th in North America and 5th in South America goes to the Inter-continental memery, we can just withdraw those two and have Oceania and Asia duke it out instead. That would leave 1 WC spot that could go to the 9th in South America vs the 9th best 2nd placed Euro team.
Alright who do I call to have this implemented?

>>76722717

I didn't say that. Some teams have generally better chances because they are better, but at the end of the day the game is going to be won by what is oftentimes whimsical play, like a stray ball. That isn't the case with many other major sports.

People really needs to reevaluate the conventional wisdom that UEFA and Conmebol are super elite while the rest of the world is complete trash.

CONCACAF has progressively gotten better results with each passing WC. It used to be only Mexico deserved to be there. Then Mexico and the US, but nobody else. And now it's Mexico, US, and Costa Rica.

Getting grouped with teams from CONCACAF is no longer good for your chances of advancing.

Romanon, Belgium were nowhere near the top 10 most valuable national teams 20 years ago. Most of that timeframe covers the worst period in Belgian football. Since Uefa started keeping records Belgium had a top 3 or at least a top 5 league until halfway through the 90s, Bosman and tv money/size of mediamarket making an impact, and Belgium held his own at the WC. In the late 90s Van Buyten was one of the """big name""" players, Nilis never made it big, the best players were old af/retiring and the FA was so desperate that they looked at the likes of Weber and Strupar (players in their 30s that weren't even good enough for their country and that for the bulk of their modest careers played in the Belgian league, the worst it has ever been).
Belgium among the teams with the highest value is a very recent development and since 2012 Belgium started doing well in qualifying again. Successive quarterfinals and even at Euro2016 Belgium started the youngest line-up in the history of the Euros. Mexico's best result ever was a QF exit and they only managed that when hosting the WC (Mexico1986 Belgium reached the semis).

Getting mad about Asian or CONCACAF while Africa sends 5 teams to a World Cup seems to me to be a strange way to express your anger.
The last three world cups have seen 16 Africa teams qualify.
12 of those teams were knocked out in group stages. Three qualified, but were knocked out in the next round. Only Ghana managed to go anywhere, and that was when the World Cup was in Africa.
Africa should get 3 guaranteed places, tops.
>>
>>76735635
Still got further than Sweden has ever gotten in the last 20 years.

You've qualified for 2 WCs and reached the Ro16 both times, and were knocked out both times. As if that's any kind of resume to ride home about.

Costa Rica didn't fluke through their matches. They genuinely looked better than every team they faced except Netherlands where they looked like an equal, and would have won without refball.
>>
>>76734995
Here your reply.

No one who has at least basic knowledge about football will can deny that the best European teams are also the best in the world. The thing most people in the thread are arguing is who is better, the 3rd best in CONCACAF or the 15th best in UEFA.

If you only take the best team as a parametrer then Serie A is better than Premier League.
>>
>>76735745
Well that's how I know you don't know jack shit about Swedish football, much less European football. We were a completely different team under Hamrén(our coach) and Zlatan(his master) last year. The years 2009-2016 should be struck from Swedish football history.
2006 was definitely an embarrasment, but in 2002 we eliminated the favourites Argentina in groups and then went on to lose on a golden goal vs some meme tier team.

As for current day though, Costa Rica should not even be compared to us. They'd be like 4th in our qualifying group.
>>
>>76735728
Just found this gem. Since 1994, Cameroon has qualified for 5 of the 6 World Cups.
They have failed to advance beyond the group stages in any of them. Apparently they were the second worst team in 2010, and the worst team in 2014.
Instead of Cameroon
England could have played in 1994
Russia could have played in 1998
Czech Republic could have played in 2002
Switzerland could have played in 2006
Ireland could have played in 2010
Sweden could have played in 2014
>>
>>76735917
>They'd be like 4th in our qualifying group.

Maybe, maybe not, but your group is also a crazy exception, and they would no doubt push Sweden, France, and the Dutch to some competive results. Put them in that group with Poland and friends and they likely top the group.

>As for current day though, Costa Rica should not even be compared to us

Lmao, you guys are both roughly the same tier. Neither of you are top flight contenders like Germany and Brazil, but deserve to be at the WC. Get off your high horse.
>>
>>76736225
They all played in the World Cup, it's one long tournament. I do think there should be Worldwide Qualifying but you need to eliminate the Andorras and Island Nations and other minnows first. 2 or 3 rounds of International qualifying would be perfect IMO
>>
>>76735917
I don't understand why Swedish posters keep directing their malice towards CONCACAF instead of UEFA. It's not Costa Rica's fault your confederation has a retarded qualification system and keeps putting Sweden in stacked groups.

UEFA has more than enough spots to make sure every reasonable contender makes the WC. They're just allocating them terribly, and yet you'd prefer to screech about European dominance instead of blaming the confederation that keeps buttfucking you like somebody with Stockholm syndrome.

There have been tons of arguments in the thread, you just quoted the ones that fit your narrative. The top CONCACAF teams can easily compete with midtier European teams

What happened in the 2014 WC between UEFA and CONCACAF
>France 3-0 Honduras
>Italy 0-1 Costa Rica
>USA 2-2 Portugal
>Croatia 1-3 Mexico
>Costa Rica 0-0 England
>Honduras 0-3 Switzerland
>USA 0-1 Germany
>Netherlands 2-1 Mexico
>Costa Rica 1-1 Greece
>Belgium 2-1 USA (aet)
>Netherlands 0-0 Costa Rica

That's 10 points out of 33 or 30%.It is a lot to the shittiets confederation against the best one in the world. And that's against the 13 best teams, if they played against teams like Sweden, Romania or Ukraine nothing tells me that they couldnt beat them considering how they could beat Italy and Croatia.
3 spots to CONCACAF is fine, 4 is pushing it too much. Panama or whoever finishes in that place should face a UEFA or CONMEBOL team to enter the world cup.

>>
The WC spot allocation is more or less fair. I would perhaps give one of the asian spots to CONMEBOL.

Only the elite UEFA countries should compete in the world cup and 13 is a number good enough. Out of those 13, there's only a core of like 7 countries that always qualify, the rest varies a bit every 4 years.
If the remaining countries want to participate in a major tournament, well UEFA just made the euro qualifiers easy mode.

And shit like this >>76748872 shouldn't be allowed, considering how Italy and Spain share a group.
>>
>>76749543
>What do you think should happen?
playoffs between europe and everyone else

or 20 spots to europe, 4 to asia, 4 to americas, 4 to africa

>>76749783
Italy made poor choices in friendlies, even winning them meant they would end up in pot 2. They either should have skipped those or played higher ranked teams.
France ended up in pot 2 because they didn't have to qualify for the euros they hosted.

Also, objectively speaking, from Uefa only Germany haven't failed to qualify even though because of a ban they have less apps than Brazil. Big teams miss out, e.g. Holland's insanely talented 2002 squad. The Uefa play-offs often include top teams and it's only a matter of time before one of the top teams misses another WC. A core of like 7 countries that always qualify, nah, not really.

Uefa were the last confed to apply the rankings for WCQ draws because they were even shittier back when they were introduced.

Maybe the Nations League standings will be used for future draws in Uefa. At least for the euros that's what's about to happen but Fifa might still push for their rankings to be used in Fifa competitions (might get an exception for WCQ draws).

>A core of like 7 countries that always qualify, nah, not really.
There really is a core of countries that always qualify if you don't back track to the black-and-white period. Perhaps 7 is a number too big. I always see at least Germany, Spain, Italy, France and England qualifying. Hell, even Portugal hasn't missed the last 4 editions.
But that's not the main point. What I argue is that there's no need to increase the number of UEFA spots.

>The Uefa play-offs often include top teams and it's only a matter of time before one of the top teams misses another WC.
Good, it gives an extra opportunity to 2nd tier country for qualifying. Which is why there's no need to increase the number of WC spots. 13 is good. This is a WORLD cup. If people want more european countries, they'll have to settle for the euros.
>>
>>76750521
>Guaranteed spot problem

Mexico nearly missed the last World Cup, and would have if the USA had chosen to rest their starters in the last game and let Panama win. This is a Mexico team mind you that would go on to advance to the Ro16.

CONCACAF doesn't guarantee shit. None of the Hex teams are pushovers and all are better than at least half the teams in your group.
>>

I donot disagree yet teams know or should know how the rankings work. Italy didn't and were pissed about it.

>at least Germany, Spain, Italy, France and England qualifying
France failed in 1994 and 1990 (that's colour period) and then they it was close in the play-offs of 2014 (Sakho goal shouldn't have stood) and in 2010 (Henry handball).
England also failed in the 90s but hey-ho it's England.
Holland in 2002 was arguably the most attractive, attacking side in the world. Instead of e.g. S.Arabia who got raped by Germany I would have loved a Holland v. Germany rivalry on the biggest stage.

Also, it's a world CUP, a competitive tournament that includes the world's best sides. The final event is the pinnacle, arguably the elite sides in the international game. All teams are allowed to compete, WCQs are also WC games, but if they aren't among the best in the world they should fail to qualify.

Still they have a very good record (World Champions in 1998, final in 2006, QFs in 2014). That's 1/5 of those teams, a big chunk already.

tbqh how Mexico qualified in 2014 was laughable, could easily have qualified with only 1 (one) win in the hex (away to Jamaica IIRC they scored a very late goal) or not a single win was even a distinct possibility. Too lazy to look up the copypasta on this one.

Ok fine, let's have playoffs for the final spots in the WC, but in exchange, CONCACAF gets to play in the Euros since apperantly you don't want to have World Cup with teams from all over the world, so it makes sense to have a Euros that has teams not from Europe.

And it's still true. 10 years ago, our youth development system was literally just college soccer, and we didn't even have a proper established pro league with MLS and NASL duking it out for supremacy.

Now that MLS has solidified themselves as the top league, and they've started setting up youth academies and slowly but surely building up the same infrastructure that Europe has to scout and develop talent.

It's only a matter of time.

2 of those 5 (40%) are new/recent winners. Spain won it for the first time in their history in 2010 and France in 1998. The next first time champions could very well be from Uefa again, e.g. Holland have come close several times.

Shit performances, like I said have a look at Champions League and tell me the logic behind Spain's 4 spots.
>>
>>76753337
>the two continents who won all world cups should play each other in the qualifiers
lolno
>>
>>76753545
My god I feel like I'm talking to a 4 year old. How is advancing to the second round a bad performance?

If a team always gets into the 16 best teams of the world how can you tell me that they don't deserve to be in the best 32? Please explain me

>Europeans always win the Cup
That means that the best European team is better than the best North American team, not that the 17th best European team is better than the best North American team

>Europe is better than concashit
That's why you have 13 (THIRTEEN) and we have 4.5 (FOUR POINT FIVE). Did you know that 13 is more than 4.5? Because it is true 13 is more than 4.5

>why Spain has 4 spots
Because they have the best leagues and all their teams have good results most pf the times, that's why they have more spots than, lets say Russia. Just as Europe has more spots than CONCACAF. In fact they have 13, compared to the 4.5 than CONCACAF has.
Juventues was in the final 2 of the last 3 years. The last time an English team advanced was in 2012. Does that mean that Serie A is better than PL? Because that's the logic you are using, only considering the best team.

3/6 of concacaf group makes it to the WC
5/10 of conmebol group makes it to the WC
13/52 of uefa groups make it to the WC

really makes you think.
>>
>>76753654
Your answers strongly suggest that you want to take advantage of the accomplishments of other teams and not earning spots on your own
>>
>>76753720
There are several qualifier rounds in concacaf, this is the final one. It's like this so Mexico or USA don't have to face let's say, Romania of concacaf
>>
>>76753720
Protip: concacaf has like 30 teams
>>
>>76723867
>less than half wc entries europe have
>still 9 vs 11 world cups
Holy shit, UEFA BTFO
>>
>>76753721
>earning spots on your own
easy to say that when the 3rd place in your sunday pub league gets you to the WC every time forever.

>>76753780
>>76753741
>this is the final one
and those Trinibab streetshitters are all you can come up with? this is the cream of the crop?

dude you're afraid of merging with conmebol, and you're afraid of playoffs vs the likes of Netherlands and Poland because you would get assraped on the regular.

>>76753787
>a narrow lose is a win
wew
>>
>>76753809
Do you actually believe Mexico wouldn't qualify in your current group?
>>
>>76753809
>you're afraid of merging with conmebol
The biggest dream of Mexico is playing in CONMEBOL.That's why >we always play their tournaments.

you're afraid of playoffs vs the likes of Netherlands and Poland because you would get assraped on the regular.
That's why we always beat non elite European teams in the World Cups right?
In 2014 Mexico won against Croatia and Costa Rica agaisnt Italy and eliminated Greece. Also ties against Netherlands, England and Portgual
In 2010 Mexico won against France. Also ties against England, Slovenia and Switzerland
And those are your top 13 teams, you think playing against your 17th best would be harder?
>inb4 that was years ago
The champions of Europe couldnt beat the champions of concacaf a week ago and Russia, a top 20 European team couldnt lost in their home against a team of the weak and pathetic CONCACAF
>>
>>76753809
Matches against San Marino or Gibraltar gives you points to qualify to the wc
>>
>>76753829
that's not what "merging with conmebol" means.

and best case scenario you'd probably finish 2nd and get btfo in a two-legged tie against Italy.

you're deeply delusional if you think Memexico would just walk the euro groups after years of playing vs RadanfahAbuBakr&Friends.

>>76753879
>ties against Netherlands, England and Portgual
not wins
>In 2010 Mexico won against France
the France who literally was on strike because of Anelka scandal? lmao
>more ties
don't mean shit.

>The champions of Europe couldnt beat the champions of concacaf a week ago
>confed summer meme tournament is relevant
you are aware I could bring up romania-chile 3-2 from last week right? but I won't because I'm not a delusional faggot and I know wc is wc.
>>
>>76753880
The only teams that drop points against San Marino or Gibraltar don't qualify themselves. Those are free points and the matches don't matter. Could as well eliminate pot 6 but having these teams in the group changes fa. Even for the best runners-up those results are discarded..
>>
>>76753880
No they don't retard
>>
>>76753901
>ties dont mean anything
Ties mean that those teams are the same level. If the top 3 CONCACAF teams are as good as the 7th to 13th teams from Europe, nothing tells me that the 17th best Uefa team could beat Costa Rica.

Why do you ignore the Italy and Croatia defeats?
>>
>>76753972
Because one fluke tournament is all you got.

Pls name top10 costa rica achievements at the WC
>>
>>76754000
So we should consider things that happened 40 years ago to see who is the best?
As I said before, at least one CONCACAF team has qualified to the round of 16 in the last 8 WC. That is not a fluke. And you say that they dont deserve 1 direct spot to the round of 32.

Tell me one reason to think that the 17th best team in Europe is better than the best team of CONCACAF?
>>
>>76753901
>more ties don't mean shit.
oh so the things that let Mexico USA and Costa Rica (team that Uruguay had to refball out of 2010) through over France England Italy Croatia Slovenia and Portugal don't matter?
>>
>>76754063
>Tell me one reason to think that the 17th best team in Europe is better than the best team of CONCACAF?
like I said the 'th team in Europe who won't qualify would probably be Netherlands or Wales. I seriously doubt you would beat them in a play-off.

>>76754063
>CONCACAF deserves these free spots because CONCACAF teams has qualified to the round of 16 in the last 8 WC.
>UEFA doesn't deserve more spots although they are consistently in the semifinals since 1930
spic logic.

>>76754163
exactly, concacaf is irrelevant, the Fulham of world cups.
>>
>>76725490>>76748841
>Romania and Armenia wouldn't make it to the hex
Yeah, mighty Trinidad and Tobago would've surely beaten us.
>>76746230
>Armenia, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan
money
>Israel
Because jews refuse to play half of the AFC teams and vice versa for (((political))) reasons
Also shekels, of course
>>
>>76751511
Thread reached bump limit while I was asleep. What a shame.

In the 32-team format, those countries always qualify anyways.
But again, you're focusing on the trivial things. We were discussing the 13 UEFA spots.

>Also, it's a world CUP, a competitive tournament that includes the world's best sides. The final event is the pinnacle, arguably the elite sides in the international game.
So we agree that the elite should be there. But since it's a WORLD cup, the elite from each continent should be there. If I want my NT to test itself against all kinds of european nations, I can see that already at the Euros. In the WC, I want the currently very best teams from each continent. The allocation spots reflect more or less the size of each continent's elite every 4 years.
This is what gives the world cup such tremendous prestige compared to the Euros or the Copa America and I'm afraid raising the team cap to 40 or 48 might ruin it.
