lol Habs man makes a funny.
Reached Knockout Stage
2014: Belgium, Greece, Switzerland
2010: Slovakia & Portugal
2006: Sweden, Ukraine, Switzerland, Portugal
2002: Ireland, Denmark, Belgium, Turkey & Sweden
1998: Denmark, Yugoslavia, Norway, Romania & Croatia
1994: Romania, Sweden, Ireland, Bulgaria, Belgium & Switzerland
And the usual suspects Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Spain & England.
UEFA needs more spots as evident by this German beat down of Brazil. EURO CUP > World Cup

You didn't show which Euro teams CHOKED in that same span @ group stage (many 'heavyweights'). They'll always be Euro teams in the KO stage...there's 13 of them.
Today's game shows us what we know...Germany is always good and doesn't need a 13 team qualifying cushion to qualify and perform well in the WC
I can't even show the African/Asian teams that choked because they are nonexistent.
How many Semi-Finals has Latin America reached? Mexico has been in almost every single Tournament, even hosted twice and they've never reached the Semi-Final? That is the sort of incompetence from the rest of the World. Poland alone has reached Twice
32 Teams
10 - UEFA
4 - South America
2 - Latin America
2 - Africa
2 - Asia
1 - Oceania
The Final 11 Spots should qualify thru playoffs
what a sad shtick. if european football is so great, why are their NT filled with south americans africans and turks?
more playoffs is the right idea, but europe should be getting 7 spots, not 10. the more compe ion the better
A) Europeans won in the past with full native rosters
B) All Top teams today have mixed teams now I.E Argentina being "90% White" because of Italian immigration
C) What does race have to do with how good every region is? Boateng was born in Berlin but yet plays for Ghana. More & more American players were born in Germany
Okay, Europe gets 7 but South America gets 3 and then the rest should be a playoff. So 2/3 of the Tournament is either European or South American
America getting skull ed by FIFA overall tbh. Makes Argies pay 335K for not showing up with a player to the press conferences:

Argentina got tired. They've sent Romero and Augusto Fernandez to the first two and all the journalists questions were directed to Sabella. Both players didn't get to answer a single one. ing journos are expecting midget, Di Maria, Mascherano or Aguero in every press conference, because they're lazy s.
the knockout stage exemplifies this thread perfectly... it's been 50% Europe, 50% America throughout... that's why it makes no sense to give inferior European teams more berths...
France is the 2nd finest team in the Tournament
what does it say? "keep participating"?
Knowing FIFA, probably something stupid about racism
