i can think of many teams from asia and oceania and the caribbean and even europe who would finish well beyond the bottom of that table.

it's all about how tables are defined. uefa has nearly 50 members with every microrepublic and principality claiming a spot .

one federation for all of the americas should work well. the problem with conmebol is that it's so small. they cant even have a proper tournament and have to invite jamaicans and mexicans and others to fill up the brackets.
