I WANT YOUR OPINION! Need your feedback.?

So what you really want is Israel placed in a group among teams you feel they can defeat to earn an easy passage through. Interesting, but I disagree. Selective grouping is not what the tournament is based around. It is the WORLD cup and there to assist and promote the growth of the sport on a global basis. To deprive nations of the process and opportunities to qualify and possibly progress is against all it stands for. This tournament offers lesser known countries and players the opportunities to compete at the highest level, which in turn gives the talent they have the chance to be seen, to improve and gain experience, attract class coaches and managers etc. There are some class players amid the teams you criticise. Isreal has the same opportunities through the process of qualification as everyone else does. Who we play in these rounds is pot luck. You don't pick and chose who you can play and beat, then we would surely have worse teams making it through. The fact they constantly qualify as you stated is indicative of the fact that have played well enough to do so. In the end there is 32 places and those tough enough to endure the road earn their right to play. They will be different every 4 yrs. The concept that no Asian teams other than those you mention have any talent or ability is not all that insightful. I'm not at all putiing these teams down, but if they are good enough they will progress as all other nations have to do through qualifications..Just my opinion, thanks for the question and I'm out of here again.

Fatto: That is what Euro is for. The WC isn't meant to be Europeanised or South Americanised. There is no exclusivity in the word World..lol
