Didn't the last monaco nice end in a 0-1?
If the only interest for u is watching big names or big scores sure saudi will have 4 teams that have them, but don't pretend like great matches don't happen in L1 (examples: recent Lyon Lorient, Nantes Lorient, psg om or psg ol, etc)
How many slots are available for conmebol teams compared to the number of countries playing? Now compare that with the 54 teams playing for only 16 places
It's not just about playing gibraltar and san marino, theres not that many slots available for your country and a single loss or two will ruin your chances to qualify quickly
