This page will give you a simple overview of the ranking of African teams. “Pot 1” teams are most likely to qualify for the World Cup, while “Pot 2” has several teams that have a good chance to overtake the Pot 1 teams. The rest of the teams aren’t expected to have much of a chance to qualify.

To summarize the article:

1959: This was the only Copa America that Pele played in. This tournament was a 7-team round robin, and Brazil was undefeated with 4 wins and 2 draws. But they finished 2nd to Argentina, who had 5 wins and 1 draw

1959: For whatever reason, another Copa America was held later in the year, and Brazil decided to send a B-team

1963: Pele decided to go on a world tour with his club Santos to generate revenue instead of playing in Copa America

1967: For whatever reason, Brazil decided to withdraw from Copa America

1975: The next Copa America wasn’t held until 1975, by which point Pele had long retired from the Brazilian NT.

Sin bins are a terrible idea for football, teams would just do whatever they can to waste 10 minutes

That is true, but I don’t think that means it’s impossible for a foreign manager to win a World Cup. I think that’s just a sign that the elite nations don’t need to hire foreign managers because they have plenty of domestic managers to choose from.

Germany, Argentina, Brazil, Italy, France, and Spain have never been managed by a foreign manager at a World Cup. We don’t know if they’re capable of winning a World Cup with a foreign manager because they’ve never tried.

England couldn’t get past the WC Quarterfinals with Eriksson and Capello, but they still did better than the English managers before and after them. Netherlands made it to the 1978 WC Final with Austrian Ernst Happel as manager. And Belgium 2018 and Portugal 2006 made it to the WC Semi-Finals with foreign managers.

Argentina is gonna qualify for the World Cup in 2024.
