Lol South America

If you really want to compare cups won by southamerica or europe you should take into account if the cup was won in a 16, 24 or 32 team worldcup.

Nothing against Uruguay, but winning in the 50s comparing with a cup win in the 90s and later....

I agree to an extent. In fact and by the way the real debate is not about the number of teams of Europe and South America, the debate is more why a team like Australia is present all the time when we know that a lot of non qualified euro or south american teams are much better, same goes for Africa and Asia. Nevertheless for football development it is important to have all parts of the world represented. I think the actual system is the best for the WC even if of course it can be improved, number of seats can be reviewed, we could imagine decreasing the quota of seats and organize a pre tournament...

You could talk me into that. A pre-WC tournament that distributes, say, 4 seats for those teams that squeaked out or lame regions/federations. I just despise the current Nazi regime of Blatter giving a thumbs up or down. Ultimately, we're here because Sepp wants the votes from Oceania and Africa. It's way more for political reasons than actual compe ive reasons.

It's really not that different. European teams won in Europe, South American teams won outside of Europe. We've been in that back and forth since the 30's, but Brazil being the only one breaking the mold just once, and Europe having a great chance to break the mold in this cup.

4 to 6 seats could be a fair number for this pre-WC with let's say from 12 to 18 teams. The big problem for that is the lack of calendar space, it would be a nightmare to organize it

I've already said we shouldn't consider the 34 / 38 Italian wins in the totals.

BTW the 1950 win is way too much underated. Uruguay won it in Brazil this is not an anecdotic performance.
