We're clearly skewing too heavily European, and could easily shave off three UEFA berths and evenly distribute across Africa and the Americas (or two for CAF and one for Concacaf). Also, not enough folk talk about how damn good the 2023 inter-confed play-offs were.
In the history of the WWC, CAF has routinely gotten the short end of the straw, whilst things have changed elsewhere, Africa's continued development has been overlooked in confed allocation (imo). Upcoming WWC is AFC (6) CAF (4) Concacaf (4) CONMEBOL (3) OFC (1) UEFA (11) + 3 inter-confed play-off

I wonder how much more coverage, angry editorials and special reports Harvey Norman's $55 million fine for misleading conduct would have received if they weren't one of the biggest, if not the biggest, advertisers across all media.
