The current quota of World Cup places is distributed mainly on football development of the region and to a lesser extent on the size of the continent.  So, analyzing the situation, I think that the current situation is relatively fair enough.  I say this because the development of football in Asia and Africa is not satisfactory enough to award them more places.  If places are awarded under current conditions, it will result in underperforming teams being the whipping-boys of their respective groups.  South America has 12 countries and I think 4.5 is fair enough.  For Europe, well, 14 seems a lot but considering the great national team heritage and especially club heritage (A.C, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United...) I think it's worth it.

I agree, USA ranked fifth on the world is a joke, who have they beat? and the championship that US organized, they end up inviting teams that are barely able to make it to the world cup.
