We know how close and exciting the Europe and African continental cups can be, but spare a thought for the continents where Argentina & Brazil; Australia; USA & Mexico go through a tournament of mismatches and always win easily every time, yawn, with very little unpredictable about the whole thing.
Do you think these continental Championships would be better off if each member state or province of the dominant (named) countries were to submit its own team into the qualifying process for the continental finals (I would suggest that like in the UK each person would only be eligible to represent the province or state he has slept the most nights in)?
Imagine how suddenly there might be 12, rather than just 2 country-level teams with a good chance of winning the competition.
Do you support this idea, and if so, how would you adopt this idea into other sports, other contexts, and into football in Europe & England ?
&if not, would you support altering the boundaries between contine

South American championship is not easy, come on. Usually the final is NOT between Brazil and Argentina. I don't like your idea, national teams are much more appealing
My suggestion would be a single championship for America (South, Central and North) a a single championship for Asian and Oceania. There should be no Oceania confederation, by the way, that's ridiculous.

I like the current format for the Copa America. The Copa de Oro and Euro Cup could use different formats so that the weaker nations eleminate them selves before the play against the bigger countris.
It's not a shame that Uruguay and Columbia don't qualify for the World Cup, because since they play futbol at the highest level and play Brazil and Argentina, the two best in the world, then they should be good enough to qualify over teams like Paraguay and Ecaudor, but they don't. So stop whining, Conmebol does have 4 maybe 5 teams qualify. If Mexico and USA had to qualify by playing in the Conmebol they would qualify with Brazil and Argentina. The other countries would have to play the playoff matches with the fourth place Concacaf team.

Who told you Argentina and Brazil win easily?
Thats true for Australia, USA and Mexico... but not in south america ... so you say Uruguay (2 woldcup) winner is easy?, Chile is easy?, COLOMBIA is easy? Paraguay easy? Bolivia(playing at 3000mts over sea level ) is easy? Nothing is easy in south america my friend, here football is played at the highest level by all the countries....
I think USA and mexico should play against south american countries to qualify, maybe they should include Colombia and ecuador, so that it would be more fair for everybody,,(its ridiculous that Uruguay and Colombia for example can't qualify for the world cup because they have to face Argentina and Brazil the two best in the world)

I dont think that would be better at all and that could cause players to choose a club because of the country he'll be eligble to play for. Effectivly making countries giant club teams.
