While I've agreed that CONCACAF should probably lose one spot, what you've states is a mis-characterization of the process. It's a 2-stage system. First stage is 3 groups of 4, then one group of 6. And in terms of the region's better teams, you forgot Guatemalafinishing second in your group in europe (to one of the best teams in the world) and then narrowly missing qualifying in a play off, is so much of an achievement than america or mexico or honduras having to finish top 3 in a group of 6, which contains as well trinidad, costa rica and el salvador......all nations that are an embarrassment when they've competed before at world cup finals levels.
Discussion got serious!?
Can we have a soundbite on this travesty from 'Jedward' or something to lower things please?
