I've always liked how clean the CONMEBOL World Cup qualification is, just all 10 teams in a round robin league table format with 18 games. In contrast AFC is so huge there are so many rounds of qualifying to go through.
I love it but it’s a gauntlet of a knife fight. So many grudges, so many tough away trips.
My only frustration is how long it takes—this cycle won’t be over until September 2025.
I think that’s the beauty of it though. A World Cup campaign truly is a 4 year run/cycle here in South America.
