again its moving off the point. im not saying togo or other theams like that dont deserve to be there, because i havent. im saying the level of comeptiton will not be as high. can anybody name any good or heard of togo players or name any togo clubs? i dont think many people can. therfore their mentality will not be to win the world cup.
and again if they do win, they will not be seen after this. if you want english evidence of this: wycomb wonderes. havent done much giant killing since 2001.

now your going off the point, had many people heard of mustapha hadji before france 98, or el hadji diouf or kalou fadiga before 2002? the world cup is where players make their names i bet one of the name on everyones lips after 2006 will be sheyi adebayor

What do you suggest we do gianluigi? will we get a panel of football experts like yourself together and they can pick the teams that 'deserve' to be there, or will we do it the fair way with qualifiers where, to a point, every single nation has a fair chance of qualifying and if you manage to you deserve to be there?
off the point...not worth answering
You went off the point when you quoted one of my statements which contained your ignorance, yet you went on about Togo winning the world cup, go away have a think about your next prattle, and make sure you don't contradict yourself this time.

We should just pick the best 16 teams or how many and let them fight it out
I do understand slightly where you are coming from but every teams gets there on merit.
And you say about Senegal 1 tournament wonders,where are they now etc etc, so what, lots of teams don't qualify everytime..
They played their games and this time around were not good enough, simple as.

Gialuigi, I can't agree with your opinion, Everyone has battled to get to the world cup, the crapper teams even more so.

I think this statement sums the whole debate up. Let the small teams have their glory, you would shut up if they won it. Yes chances are they wont but you'd be glad of the chance if Italy (or whichever national side you support) were a small hardly known country

please understand what im saying VT im not saying small teams dont deserve to be there, they played theire games well and reached the goal of getting to germany. but thats over now, its done, its now time for the real thing. now the simple fact these teams being there will drop the rate of competiton in the world cup and there for de-valuing it because of this imo, unlike the teams who fight and fight for it time after time, england included. understand?
