World Cup qualifiers

Although CONMEBOL countries represent only a small fraction of the world, their teams have won half of the World Cup tournaments. They have won tournaments in all 4 continents that the FIFA World Cup has so far been held in, this is mostly due to Brazil, although Argentina won Mexico '86. Brazil have won World Cups in all 4 continents: Europe (1958), South America (1962), North America (1970, 1994) and Asia (2002).
