Isn't the World Cup supposed to be the best teams, then why is it so easy for NZ to qualify


Isn't the World Cup supposed to be the best teams, then why is it so easy for NZ to qualify?
New Zealend are absolute garbage and they make it by playing in the worst association (remember Australia 32 goal thumping of American samoa) and by playing a weak bahrain side?????? how does that work? While decent teams are fighting for Euro places. USA!

just a fluke they got lucky but they"ll be out of the world cup straight away most likely

because they have no one to play against, you play within your region. hey dude i wouldn't be talking if you love USA so much and they were in a better and harder qualifying group they'd probably never make the world cup. USA is a crappy team, they will get knocked out in the group stage.(im an American)

just like in every type of sport you have to win your region first to go to the World Cup. Each area has the right to be represented. Be a good sport and support your team, but, congradulate others when they beat your ass.

If it was the best 32 teams in the world, there would only be teams from Europe, South America and maybe one or two teams from Africa in the finals. Do you really think that the USA would go to the world cup if they had to qualify against teams like England, Germany, Italy, France, Brazil or Holland instead of teams like Canada, Cuba, Trinidad/Tobago? It's called the world cup for a reason. If teams like New Zealand had no chance of making the finals, what would be the point of entering the competition?

In fairness the USA are in the same boat as those two, playing against amateur opponents. ill admit the US is a lot better than new zealand but a handful of superior european teams are missing out because qualification is much harder for them

It's the "World" Cup---for it to be that, you need to have all regions of the world at least present.
