| world cup by confederation 17:13 - Jun 28 with 522 views | Trequartista | Qualifiers... Europe 13 out of 16 South America 5 out of 6 Africa 9 out of 10 North/Central America 3 out of 6 (the 3 hosts) Asia 2 out of 9 (one being Australia) Oceania 0 out of 1. Africa fully justifying their big increase but Asia not. Think South America should have a bigger allocation next time at the expense of Asia. [Post edited 28 Jun 17:14]

I’m surprised they’ve not made the qualifiers a tournament in its own right in the year before. Would give the “lesser” nations exposure, a chance to test the hosts infrastructures and even more tv revenue if you have Ireland vs Taiwan or whoever for a slot at the tournament |  |
