North America showing Europe up

Europe - 6 out of 13 teams remain - 46% Africa - 2 out of 5 teams remain - 40% South America - 5 out of 6 teams remain - 83% North America - 3 out of 4 teams remain - 75% Asia/Australia - 0 out of 4 teams remain - 0% |

...and it will still be a European or South American Winner as it has been for the previous 19 tournaments.

The OP is right though. North America is the continent of which Central America is only a subset.

So FIFA expects that Europe to fill 13 of the 16 (81.25%) whilst North America is a lowly 4 countries (only 25%) That is why I am more interested in the European Championship than the World Cup. The World Cup has filler countries - like Australia, Cameroon and Honduras - to give it a global image. Whilst the European Championship has a fair qualification system so all countries in the finals are there on merit! |

A shame as the 16 team format was excellent, and until this World Cup I would say always more entertaining than the global tournament. |

I thought the purpose of the World Cup is to be a Worldwide competition. Europe is not matching the 10 that qualified in 2006. But....

Unfortunately Euro 2016 will be expanded from 16 to 24 teams. So it will have some filler teams too.

^ They're also guaranteed a semifinalist as well (since Brazil and Colombia play each other in the quarters).
