Add England, Holland, Spain and the Czechs to that mix. But just because 3 teams in a region dominate doesnt mean that more teams from that region should also get automatic bids. Europe (and, as you mentioned, the rest of the world) doesnt deserve them. Thats why a play-in World Cuo is better than the system we have now.
