Japan don't even call up Brazilians any more, the last one was Tulio. There are only two hafu in the selection pool right now - Mike Havenaar and Gotoku Sakai.
It's only they got "prestigious footballing heritage" half dutch, half german. What if one was half Malagasy?

That is pretty poor, but FIFA won't remove that spot, they need to continue growing the game in the region. They could take the play-off spot from CONCACAF/CONMEBOL-NZ, but likewise, the entire world has to be interested in the game, and they would rather the US/Mexico, or Nigeria/Cameroon are there than a smaller European nation.
actually, i think Blatter was talking a few months ago about increasing the overall number of teams in the WC so Africa and Asia would have more teams. im not sure, though

It's not about europe, give it to the south american teams or asian, i don't care, it's about WC being more competitive - Sweden, Denmark or even Wales will show much better attitude than teams like Cameroon, for 2nd time a row they will finish with 0 points in their group, they coming to the world cup only for the money, they doesn't give a shit about their own nation, they only care about benjamins

Christ, it doesn't need more teams. It takes a week to play one round of games.
nah, current 3rd round will be played in this scheme - 2 games in 20-00 and 2 games in 00-00 (moscow time), with 64 squads it will be 4 games in 20-00 and 4 games in 00-00, you just need more stadiums and FIFA will earn billions and billions from TV rights sales

Cameroon was filthy, but seeing teams like Algeria, after that goal, the crowd made me :touched:

    For me, it's not a World Cup if it's just a European circle jerk.
