Do they really get excited getting somewhere with all foreign bought players and foreign bought supporters? What a fake country.

Yes. They have no shame, ho honour, no pride. That's Qataris and filthy oil money for you, dear.

Yes but we are talking about Asia. Due to the low level of play FIFA won't blow a spot on an Asian host. They do the same when CONCACAF hosts the World Cup. Instead of giving an extra spot they give half (hence one extra spot in 2002 to compensate for the 2 Asian hosts, making it 4.5 spots up from 3.5 in 1998). In 1994 with US as host CONCACAF had 2.5 spots (0.5 up from 1990) and the same deal in 1986 when Mexico was host.

2002 was different we had two hosts from Asia and so numbers had to be adjusted. At worst in 2022 the .5 will go asia will have 4 direct qualifiers and 1 host. That will still be more than what we had last year.

Yes that's what I said. You don't get a full spot to make up for the host, you get half. In 2002 Asia got 1 to make up for 2 hosts. In 1994 and 1986 CONCACAF got 0.5 to make up for one host. In 2022 if the host is from Asia we should expect 0.5 spot more.

Just made a small edit.
