The 4th place CONCACAF team is usually better than New Zealand.

This current Venezuelan team is pretty strong.

CONMEBOL's actual, current bottom feeders could realistically crash out before the hex.

I wouldn't say it's that easy considering the OFC winner isn't guaranteed a spot.

Which says nothing about Bolivia's, a team who can't win away from home, ability to challenge the top three teams of CONCACAF.
