Absolutely. And one team for the Austro-Hungarian Empire would be more than enough, don't you reckon?

Do we have more of that "Don't take Me Home" stuff now?
I don’t think they will get through the play offs, so thankfully not.
Even on the unseeded side there is better sides
We can just have an annual Northern v Southern Hemisphere game and then concentrate solely onThe Premier
League
Spell checker trouble? I'm sure that was meant to be 'chump'.
Really don't understand why so many are getting their knickers in a twist about England playing some minnows in a qualifying tournament. No one is forced to buy tickets, no one is forced to watch on the telly. It's just a couple of games every few years. The minnows get to play at the likes of Wembley and by being in the competition no doubt get more money than if they were in a smaller qualifying tournament and that helps their grass roots. They get their moment in the spotlight
Comparisons to the FA cup are a bit ludicrous bearing in mind it is a tournament with over 700 entries, not 55 as in the European World cup qualifiers.

Moises Caicedo and Jeremy Sarmiento start for Ecuador against Chile.
Good start for Ecuador, 1-0 and chile down to 10 men.

Not a nice result, an amazing result. First time we've beaten Mexico I think. The weather probably unsettled the Mexicans a little.
The matches against San Marino are not competitive which is unhealthy for the game.
The comparison to the FA Cup is valid. Lesser teams have to earn the right which should be a fundamental principle for any competitive sport.
Basically, the case against pre qualifiers is hard to argue against if you value competition.

May have missed it in earlier part of thread, but Dante Vanzeir, of Union St Gilliose, won his first cap for Belgium after about an hour’s play last night.

You're right. Cracking result!
Refereeing was a bit suspect at times, and I very much think the temperatures played a part. But it would equally play a part if we played in Mexico in August!
