If a region is presently underrepresented it is S America or Europe, not CONCACAF or Africa IMHO.

Naturally.

Still, FIFA seem to want the world cup berths to spread the game to a wider audience. Having countries like New Zealand in can only help.

As an aside, New Zealand might have been my favourite side at the juniors (U20?) held a few years ago in Canada.

I'll definitely be pulling for them in South Africa.
Still decidedly intermediate - don't take my guesses as authoritative.

FIFA, under the leadership of the current boss looks more like a business company than a sport association. The markets, the sponsors, the money, are the all determining factors in every important move of this organisation. And Asia is the fastest growing "market" in todays football....
