I don't think worldwide qualifiers are a good idea but Europe really does need mopre places. There's a lot of Eastern European teams that are emerging as great footballing nations like Russia, Croatia and Turkey (best fans in the world -for any sport- bar none) and 13 places just isn't enough.
The real reason (here comes the conspiracy theory) so many places go to weaker nations around the world is that Blatter is pandering to their football association so he stays in his job. And the real reason for this seeding is, of course, money. They need Ronaldo there and they need interest from the big countries' fans.
Long story short, it's bullshit.
