I guess.

1/2.Uefa/Conmebol
3.Africa
4.Concacaf
5.Asia
6.Antarctic
7.Oceania

Competitively, probably. CAF has produced better teams in the last couple of years, tho.

>6. Antarctic

But vvhy?

>6.Antarctic
>7.Oceania
not after your nt lost to Australia

Australia is in Asia now, not the AFC.

>australia wins 1-1

What are you talking about? CAF has sucked in the last couple of WCs, and their current qualification standings are a shitshow.

Mexico, USA, and Costa Rica are a better top 3 than the top 3 in CAF, which at the moment is anybody's guess as to who they are.

A distant third, sure.

1. Uefa
2. Conmebol
3. Concacaf
4. Caf
5. Afc
6. Ofc

An argument can be made for putting asia over africa
Africa used to be much better but they've been declining

Since 2002, only two teams from each confederation have reached the quarterfinals (Ghana, Senegal, Costa Rica, USA). No confederation has reached later stages since then.

Costa Rica was the latest one. Even tho, during that span, the only time a CONCACAF team faced a CAF team in the knowckout stage resulted in a victory for Ghana (2) over USA (1).

While I believe CONCACAF has more consistency in their "elite" (USA, Mexico and lately, Costa Rica), CAF seems to assemble really strong teams from time to time, other than 2014's CR, I think the top CAF team could have beaten the top CONCACAF team.

But yeah, their qualification process as a whole is bullshit.

I think CONCACAF is just getting naturally sustainably better as soccer's popularity grows in the US, so does the money and attention that's going in to it.

CAF doesn't have a USA or Mexico to be the anchor of its conference and passively improve the teams around them. They have to brute force their way to being competitive with golden generation's and lots of talent and hope that European Leagues notice them.

As such, it's reasonable to expect that CONCACAF will generally be the better conference more often than not.

>last WC: 2002
>last CONMEBOL final: 1950

Jejinho

Just because gotze scored in the second extra time it means the whole UEFA is better than the whole CONMEBOL? your "logic" is retarded

What's the point of winning if you can't make those arguments?

winning is irrelevant

a team reaching 10 consecutive finals but never winnin is better than a team that won 1 title in these 10 years but in the other 9 didn't qualify

Perfect ranking

It certainly means it wasn't better that year. But it also means every other conference/confederation has put better teams.

>winning is irrelevant

Go to bed Messi

Conmebol results since 2002:
2006: not one team in the semis, kek
2010: Uruguay finishes 4th
2014: Argentina loses the final, Brazil finishes 4th

Mhm.

You don't get it, we aren't arguing about which confederation has the best team, but which confederation is stronger

Conmebol as a whole is stronger than Uefa as a whole. Of course Uefa has more WCs and all, I don't deny that. But Uefa has like 60 members and we only have 10

So by your own admission Conmemebol's weaker yeah? I really hope we're not talking about averages because that's retarded

Why even use that criteria though? It's stupid.

>winning is irrelevant

Is this the wrestling board?

Using this logic, merging CONCACAF in to Conmebol would make it a shittier conference because you'd add like 20 island teams that are complete shit, despite the fact that competition at the top would increase with the addition of Mexico, USA, and Costa Rica.

Argies finally accepted that they like being runners-up, or as they say it subcampeóns.

>at the top
>Mexico, USA, Costa Rica
JAJAJAJAJA

Strange things happen over here. An American knows stuff.

...chi?

...ca?

USA finished 4th in the last Copa America, and Mexico topped its group friendo.

>USA finished 4th in the last Copa America,
And what happened against Argentina?
>and Mexico topped its group friendo.
And what happened against Chile?

Concacaf is better than UEFA desu. Even teams like Jamaica are better than the likes of Andorra and Liechtenstein. When Iceland is one of the better teams in UEFA, it really says something about the quality of the conference.

Iceland is on USA's level.

What happened to Brazil?

So is Portugal apperantly.

Sent their C team and had >dunga as their manager

Is there anyone on CONCACAF on the same level as Germany and France?

And are Curação and Nicaragua better than Faroe Islands?

>Argue that Iceland is on USA's level
>Get BTFO
>Say "B-but you're not better than Germany"

Nice goalpost moving

Just because you knocked us out doesn't mean you're better. Costa Rica is not better than Italy and Uruguay.

USA would struggle to qualify in some UEFA groups. In the Sweden/France/Netherlands and Spain/Italy ones

>Costa Rica is not better than Uruguay and Italy

Prove it

Italy has a 4 world time champion. Has a history of making it far in the competition.

Costa Rica had one fluke in 2014. Just like Senegal in 2002, Ukraine in 2006, USA in 2002, Turkey, South Korea etc.

Italy is*

Italy finished last in their group in the 2010 WC. What have they done lately?

France didn't make it out of the group stages in 2002. Spain in 2014. Argentina in 2002

Shit happens. Doesn't mean they are worse than Honduras and Costa Rica

It means they were worse in those particular WCs. It's one thing to argue against SK's high finish because it was fueled by refball, but Costa Rica legit outplayed some good teams, and got screwed by the refs in the Netherlands game.

Nevertheless, it was a shamefur dispray

Barcelona didn't let we use Neymar in CA '16 because he was going to play in the Olympics games

>mexico is such a good nation that they have 10 gold cup trophies
we're pathetic.

>And what happened against Argentina
We had our important players suspended in the game before
>And what happened against Chile
A one time mistake from a mediocre manager that fiddles too much.
USA and Mexico can compete with the midtable Conmebol teams. This isnt up for discussion.

CONMEBOL qualifiers are a lot more harder than copa america. They should give a trophy to the ones who qualify instead

USA would NOT qualify in the CONMEBOL. I'm 98% sure

>mexico
Of course they can, they're not that bad.
>usa
No. You'd get BTFO by almost every CONMEBOL team away and several at home.

With only 5 qualifying spots? Yeah probably not, but even Portugal would have a tough time qualifying. If you add Concacaf's spots to Conmebol though, it's a smart bet to take USA over Puru, Ecuador, and Paraguay.

No we wouldnt. We won the easy games at home against Paraguay and Ecuador and theyre good in qualifiers. Drawing away is a different story but now that we have a no nonsense coach who plays defensively we can get it done. We would definitely be in the 5th place playoffs for the world cup in Conmebol.

USA beat Paraguay and Ecuador in the last Copa America dipshit.

We would have a tough time aswell I agree.

If it was 10 conmebol teams + USA, you would not qualify.
But obviously, as you said, if Conmebol and Concacaf merged there would be more than 5 spots.

Mexico and USA are about even right now as we stand
t. Chicano

Lel no.

also:
CHI

>beat two of the weakest teams in CONMEBOL
>at home
That's actually an achievement for the USMNT, congratulations.

The two weakest teams by far are Venezuela and Bolivia. Ecuador is currently the 6th placed team in Conmebol qualifying.

>You'd get BTFO by almost every CONMEBOL team away and several at home.

This was your earlier argument.

Tonto, ellos empataron en el Azteca y solo dejaron un tiro en su porteria. Nos vergonzaron tácticamente.

they keep bringing up matches from 15 years ago as big achievements, let them be

Ecuador and Paraguay are only good at home, that's why you beat them. You could never win a match in La Paz or Quito, not even in Asunción. Literally Venezuela tier.

>6th and 8th and only 3-5 points off Argentina with 4 games left
>worst
Dumb chilean manlet

lel nice "spanish" you got there, Tyler Powell

Thats better spanish than any low class beaner tbf.

Pipita pls

> any low class beaner
So average American citizens?

No, just Mexicans outside DF and the european parts of el norte. Most mexicans sound like they deserve a fist to their face.

Also if you unironically use words like "compa" and "wey" you deserve to be beheaded

>Ecuador and Paraguay are only good at home

Then they suck. The US has reached the round of 16 in the last two WCs when they were in Brazil and South Africa.

>muh altitude
Bolivia aside, we literally train our players a few weeks beforehand to handle the altitude unlike you retarded spics who ignore sports science and let your players jump straight into the game gasping for air.

We are literally leading in the head to head vs the US having played most of the games away and we're one of the shittests teams in conmebol

No you're not? The series is 3-1-2 in USA's favor, though the majority of the matches have been crappy friendlies.

Don't question my stats fat faggot

Calm yourself leafless Canada

Yea alright, to be fair it's still a shitty record to have against peru

Mexico would unironically be 3rd In Conmebol, people seem to forget Mexico tying chile 3-3 with their b team in 2015s copa memerica. Centenario was a match where the coach decided to use a different formation thinking mexico would get lucky and win it like all previous matches. Mexico were favorites to win that match before the tacocaust happened.

Well the US was a pretty shitty team until the 2000s. They got further than the group stages just once between 1954 and 2000.

In the last 20 years though, they have 2 Ro16 appearances and a QF appearance.

>inb4: 11 gold cup trophies

>Inplying it isn't CANADA's year

But the gold cup isn't about shitposting

>Mexico were favorites to win
Not even Univision commentators were that delusional.

Its the B team Gold cup so we will win it with ease.

We're sending our C team though

>CHI

que puto asco el español de los chis

>he doesn't call his compas wey

That's hardly chicano spanish. Most chicanos cant even say a sentence correctly.

>conference

>putting your african brothers that high
Nepotism at its finest

I'd put CONCACAF as 3rd, yeah, but there's a pretty big gap between the 2nd and 3rd spot.

Does it matter? The only confederations that matter are Uefa and Conmebol. I don't understand why Concacaf exists. Just merge it with Conmebol.

African nations are filled with players that were born in Europe/went through European youth acadamies.

>Australia out of OFC

Now Australia and Australia Jr. can both get into the world cup

Thanks fifa

This.
Same for Asia and Oceania so we can have 4 confederations. 14 spots for Europe, 8 for Americas and 5 for both Africa and Asia+Oceania.
