    I must've missed this, but apparently the U17 World Cup has been expanded to 24 teams instead of 16 for the 2007 edition. Apparently, they're now giving an extra spot to the confederation which won the previous tournament, so that's why we get five (thanks Mexico). Here's the breakdown of places:

    - AFC 5 (4 + hosts Korea)
    - CAF 4
    - CONCACAF 5 (including 1 slot for winning the 2005 event)
    - CONMEBOL 4
    - OFC 1
    - UEFA 5

    Does Mexico qualify automatically for winning it or does that just mean there is an extra spot in CONCACAF and Mexico still has to qualify?

    Guatemala has an impressive side

    these kids place 2nd in CFU last year

    I'm Betting Guatemala qualifies two teams to the YWC in 2007 the U17 and the U20

    :D

    My guess to the teams that go

    Mexico
    USA
    Guatemala
    Costa Rica
    Honduras/ or Canada

    1. UEFA doesn't dominate the youth tournaments.

    2. They don't need the experience as much as the other confederations.

    The allocation for spots in the U-17 world cups have always been evenly distributed by FIFA: even when it was 16 teams it was usually each confederation getting 3 or 4 spots each, plus one spot for OCEANIA - no more or no less.

    Belize tends to drop out of competitions often. No surprise there.

    Japan won the AFC U17 title over North Korea. Tajikistan was third with Syria fourth. All four teams qualify for the World Cup next August (hosts: South Korea).

    UEFA qualifying is going on now:

    The three seeded teams are England, Spain, and Portugal. As hosts, Belgium receives a bye to the finals (8 teams).

    Already, groups 7 & 11 are complete. In group 11, Greece/Sweden move on, while Austria/Liechtenstein go home. In group 7, Slovakia/Bosnia move on, while Moldova goes home. Wales finished with 6 points, giving them a good shot at winning that "best third place team" spot.

    Turns out Soccer America is wrong, and Mexico will NOT qualify automatically as holders.
