The percentages favor Europe and South America.
I still think Europe and SA fight it out over the "Continental World Cup"... while Asia brings up the rear. :D
Seriously though... makes you wonder why the uneven percentages between continents. It's not like the sport isn't popular globally.
I think the proportions are pretty fair. I don’t mean to be rude, but historically African nations never had any kind of structured set up . Fuck me , I remember 59 years ago when Zaire didn’t even know the rules of the game at that famous free kick where the guy runs out of the wall and boots the ball away! ;D
For all the bullshit , there are only 8 teams that have ever won the World Cup. 5 from Europe and 3 from South America.
