I'd rather see bigger groups and less friendly's.
With the 2014 being held in Brazil it should mean we have another tweaking in the places available, whether that means Europe gets 14 places though is questionable.
UEFA - 13
CAF - 5
CONCACAF -3.5
CONMEBOL - 4.5
AFC - 4.5
OFC - 0.5
Based on the current set up it would be as above plus Brazil.
If they take the half spot from CONBMEBOL, due to Brazils hosting it's more likely to go to Africa than Europe imho.
That CONCACAF can have 3.5 places is madness (or a clear sign of the influence Jack Warner has within FIFA), with the exception of USA & Mexico no side has got beyond their group stage. The same could be said for Asia who I think have only once progressed beyond the groups except when it was held in Asia.
