Venezuela were hosts and haven't done anything before in the Copa and probably wont in the future, didn't Uruguay struggle to qualify from their group ? Didn't Chile get beat 3-0 by Brazil and 6-1 by Argentina ? If you played a qualification for the World Cup with European and South American teams in the same groups I'd say Argentina and Brazil would qualify, past them I'd struggle to put my money on any of the other South Americans, maybe Mexico and Uruguay but past that I would say at least 10-15 European teams are by far better than the likes of Paraguay, Chile, Peru and the likes.
Also it isn't being biased as I get to watch alot of South American football when I sneak my break at work while the South American football is on
