South America begans qualification

Argentina vs Chile, Colombia vs Bolivia, Ecuador vs Paraguay on Friday October 7th 2011 South America begins to qualify for the 2014 World Cup that will be held in Brazil. As the host nation of the 2014 World Cup Brazil automatically qualifies leaving 9 South American teams that will began there journey to the 2014 World Cup this Friday. Out of the 9 only the top 4 teams will qualify directly to Brazil 2014 with the fifth place team having to face an intercontinental play- off with the fifth placed team from Asia. With the best team in South America, Brazil, not having to qualify it will give another country in South America a chance to qualify for Brazil 2014, for some teams it may even be the first time in their history to qualify to a World Cup ever. That distinction belongs to Venezuela who, after an impressive fourth-place finish at the recent Copa America, will be keen to put that right when qualifying gets underway this friday. The sequence, which represents a competition records, set between 1997and 2004and came to end on 6 June that yearwith the Albiceleste's scoreless drawn against Paraguay in Bueno Aires. With this being said now that there is another South American team (not including Brazil) that can qualify to the World Cup, does South America have a chance to bring the World Cup to South American soil? or will the World Cup remain on European soil.?
