Yes some regions are bad but they have to grow somehow. The FAs need to know they have a chance at the big show. We could get some cool stories. Like war-torn Syria probably would have qualified for a 48 team world cup this time around.
Yeah but thats 207 FIFA delegated nations, some of those, actually a large number of those are just terrible and frankly, unlikely to improve no matter what just due to lack of population.
