if the US and Mexico had to qualify through Europe though they would have serious problems even making world cups, their qualification success has a lot to do with CONCACAF being a very poor zone in terms of quality teams.
I don't trust the FIFA rankings at all though, they had the US as the 4th best team in world football in 2006
