I know its extremely early for this, but I thought it would be fun to get a jump start to it. I said 31 teams because we all know that Brazil already has the number 1 spot.

To make this predictions thread easier. Predict by continent

AFC (Asia) 4 Teams

CAF (Africa) 6 Teams

CONMEBOL(S. America) 5 teams (excluding host Brazil)

CONCACAF (N. America) 3/4 Teams

UEFA (Europe) 13 Teams

OFC (Oceania) 1 Team

Doesn't Spain also get an automatic spot?

Fifa changed that in 2002 (or somewhere around that time) that the champion still has to qualify like everyone else. So spain will have to go to a huge hurdle in order to defend their title.

Asia

Africa

The others I suppose will need more thinking, but I agree with Wisguy on the N. American teams.

Oceana: I'm gonna go with Tonga. I read somewhere they were on the rise.
Asia: I'm thinking Australia, South Korea, Japan, & let's go with Kuwait.
Africa: Algeria, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Egypt, Nigeria, Cameroon
South America: Uruguay, Chile, Argentina, Paraguay, Peru
North America: US, Costa Rica, Mexico
Europe: Spain, Germany, Holland, Italy, England, Portugal, France, Sweden, Slovakia, Romania, Austria, Hungary, and just for kicks, the Faroe Islands.

We'll see how many of those qualify.
