[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 607480, member: 39190"] For me it is very simple, The Americas- yes, I do group N and S together- have, beyond Argentina- 2 spots set aside. That is for two continents with a COMBINED 16 sovereign countries. You are arguing for Africa to lose its 1 reserved spot. I repeat 1 spot (beyond SA who gets in automatic) for a continent with 44 sovereign countries. For me that just doesn't add up. I agree, countries like Spain, Romania and Uruguay are better teams, I can't argue, but then if Namibia as Africa1 loses its spot, let all reserved spots fall away and make it a merit only tournament which I might add will be just as subjective.
