This new system is such a terrible outcome for everybody except the big three in NA... how can you have a qualifying process where 80% of the teams don't even get a chance to play games to qualify? And justifying it by saying they get a remote shot at the 0.5 slot is crazy. They play off against the 4th team in the hex and probably a South American team, if they beat the other 29 teams... insanity.

At least next time around teams will know that their ranking matters but Canada didn't even have friendlies in a lot of the international breaks not knowing this was going to be the case and now it seems like their only chance to qualify is beating the US in the nations league.

Honestly can't even believe that it is allowed/sanctioned to have 30ish teams competing for 0.25 of a WCQ spot while 6 go straight through to play for 3.25.

Just when you thoughts FIFA and CONCACAF couldn't get any worse.
