Insane reasoning 
. But if they lost .5 spot, it could be possible that AFC/OFC will be beneficiaries. I suspect UEFA will want some too considering Russia is already taking one of theirs.
Be interesting development on this until FIFA make their final decision.
4 spots for CONMEBOL is very very disgraceful though. Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Colombia, Paraguay, Peru, hell even Venezuela and only 4 spots ? Less than what we get in AFC and the comparison of quality of teams aren't even valid. But hey, it's FIFA and they are so thick and dumb, so they may actually do that.
