Did you guys know that if Spain manages to win sunday's final in 120 min or less the only unbeaten team in SA 2010 will be New Zealand?

I think Alen had a bit of irony in his post. But you got to admit it's pretty funny we have yet another all European final, after so many people said European football was dead.

I agree with you though. Brazil was the best team by far. But they could have done with a bit more samba and including Melo was probably the mistake of the century, even if he had a great assist.

South America had a good tournament as well.

Well, anybody but Argentina. Mexico was screwed royally in that match. Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay all exceeded most expectations though.

I rate South American football very highly anyway. But it is funny how some members condemned European football, before we even got in the later stages. I won't claim anything though, because luck was such a big factor this WC.

So if they win on penalties, the Dutch didn't lose so ipso facto have won the World Cup!

Lula is in Johannesbourg officially presenting Brazil 2014. I pray stupid Blatter/Fifa won't take away Conmebol's 4th spot. We deserve it

They should take one from Concacaf obviously. Everybody qualifies there.

fuck off! take it from UEFA!

it's the WORLD cup not the 2nd edition of the EURO's

Why? We have a million quality sides that don't qualify. The final is all European. I'd rather have Belgium or Turkey than El Salvador in the World Cup.

You can send a few teams, just not all your teams. I want quality too.

Don't take a spot away.

Just have a play off between a team for Europe and a team from Concacaf.

Dude!

You could do that, but it would be a massacre.

The ironic thing is that the spot they wanna take away from Conmebol they're gonna give it to Concacaf or make Concacaf share it with Uefa.

I think Concacaf are better off with 2.5 spots, Mexico and the US would always qualify and their third would have a playoff with Conmebol's fifth

Fine.

I want the balance to be shifted towards the best teams being at the World Cup, rather than just filling quotas from different parts of the world and to do that I would have playoffs between teams from different zones.

That's exactly what they wanna do with the spot they steal from Conmebol

But every half decent team there qualifies as it is anyway.. Why would they get another spot?

I agree with you there. Perhaps it would be a good idea.

But I want Conmebol to hold their spots and I want to take one from Concacaf.

.

Because Blatter said 5.5 spots (Brazil is using one as they are qualifying as hosts) are too many for a confederation that has 10 countries

That's bollocks if they offer quality. I want to see good teams.

Me too but when it comes down to the voting Concacaf and Uefa will have about 80 vs Conmebol's 10
