    UEFA: France, Portugal, Slovenia and Switzerland qualified instead of Croatia, Israel, Russia and Turkey.
    CAF: Algeria eliminated Egypt.
    CONCACAF: Mexico and Honduras qualified instead of Costa Rica and Trinidad and Tobago.
    OFC/AFC: New Zealand qualified instead of Iran.

    24 out of 32. Not that bad.
