Like maybe the North-and Centralamericans, too they seem underrated. The bookmakers prognost them no, maybe one team in the second round and this will also be in the heads of their opponents . After the World Cup the Continents contigents will be rediscussed . This discussion has often been talked with false arguments. 1994 it has been avoided by the extension from 24 to 32 but 2002 two Asian teams will be directly qualified.
Somebody has to accept fewer qualificants or qualification has to be reorganised.
Europe and South-America seem overrepresented for some reasons. And this overrepresentaion influences the result. The result again seems to justify the overrepresentation. But this is deceiving. A different point of view should be developed.
