Middle East this World Cup cycle. Normally, they churn out a credible side of two.
The Saudis got squeezed out by the Fightin' Kim Jong Ils, and Bahrain lost the playoff to New Zealand (easier to understand now). Iran had an off year. They should have a team or two next time. Japan, Korea and Australia are legitimate WC teams. (Australia's 4-0 blowout to Germany doesn't look so bad now, does it?) They should stay at 4.5 slots, though. There's a pretty sharp drop off after the top 3. Gives everyone else something to play for.
CONMEBOL looked great after the round of 16 and the quarters, but they won't get a team in the finals. It's Germany/Spain vs. Netherlands for an all-UEFA final (again). Explains why the European Championships are the second-most-popular tournament after the WC.
