Ferbs, if you don't qualify how can you claim to be deserving of being there?

If you're put in an unlucky group, then you're screwed, imagine Brazil, France, Spain and England, all 4 would be deserving.
 
Oh well, might just be due to the Rangers and Celtic, aren't there some of those people who's actually from Scotland?

You could get a harder group, yes. The Danes had a difficult qualifying group but still made it. If you cannot qualify for the World Cup finals from your regional groups you cannot claim to be good enough to be there.

How else would you judge it? Top 32 teams in the world? Then you would have the same 40 teams every time
 
Who doesn't love the name Schweinsteiger? I always love when the commentators say that name
 
Theres a case to be made for the Republic of Ireland, who aren't at the world cup due to blatent French cheating. They deserved to be there

Thing is Denmark only got into the European cup in 1992 because Bosnia was in civil war.

But either way sometimes the qualifiers are some shitty teams as opposed to what could've been in there really, you can't possibly deny that can you?
 
In 1978 we were on the march with Allys Army and we were going to win the world cup.But alas we were drawn in that years "group of death" with the soccer powerhouses Iran and Peru and it wasnt to be.
 
Could've been a beautiful contra right there.

Decent game really, well played by the Germans, this is what real football domination looks like USA.

I cannot deny it but as the sporting cliche goes, you can only beat what is put in front of you. If you do not qualify, you could claim that you are a better side than some that do, but you cannot say that you deserve to be there because you aren't.

A totally fair system of qualification would be for everyone to play everyone else but that would be unworkable, especially in Europe where there are 50+ teams.

The current system is as fair as its going to get.
 
Deserved win for the Germans, Australia really didn't turn up for this one. I think Germany will at least have another good World Cup once again.

Sure I'm not saying the system isn't fair, just saying that there's always teams there shouldn't be in there as opposed to some of the teams that aren't.

Simply due to the fact that Serbia for example doesn't have a damn chance in this tournament, sure Turkey or The Czech Republic doesn't neither, but I would've thought of them as way more legit than Serbia.
