If Jordan made it would that really bring loads of Asian viewers to the world cup? I have a feeling that India and China won't be watching just because Jordan is there. If China had a realistic chance of ever qualifying FIFA would structure it so they have the best chance possible. But maybe I'm just overly cynical because of all the corruption these days in the organization. First of all Fifa would never expect Mexico having to go through playoffs for the WC, usually its Honduras, Panama or a much smaller country. 2. Fifa surely cant predict that Jordan beats Uzbekistan or Iraq (Jordan coming so far is a big surprise) 3. Uruguay has 3 million population, smaller than all bigger Asian countries Sure, Fifa is really really bad. But in this case there is no conspiracy | ||

 Uruguay has a smaller population sure, but they have a much better "Football Network" and far more international experience, two of the biggest factors in becoming a great international team. I've just finished reading Soccernomics and it's a pretty brilliant book that uses statistical analysis to explain trends in the game from player development, to success in the international and domestic game. Pretty fantastic read if you haven't got a chance. Soccernomics | ||
