"To make it a world event you need to invite the world. Yes, OFC is needed, because like it or not they are a separate confederation, and deserve...
New Zealand is by far the least meritorious of those countries to auto qualify. Also you don't need to make up confederations to get those...
My bad. We all make mistakes.
The idea of inter confed qualifying is fine my issue is with the ratio which is very unfair to UEFA at the expense of the other confeds especially...

I guess intercontinental qualifiers would be the best way to do it "not based on history and pedigree". I would still prefer rankings but it would...
But they aren't nations(at least for now) really. The reason they exist is because they previously existed and they didn't want to change the...
The counterargument would be that the usual suspects being absent makes the tournament less popular. Now I would disagree and think the absence of...
