That's true, but it's not because of the second-tier South American nations. It's place like Nigeria, Ghana, and the Ivory Coast. Paraguay, Uruguay, and Chile aren't producing world-class players right now. Guys like Roque Santa Cruz, Jorge Valdivia, and Diego Forlan are solid players with decent careers, but they're nowhere near the elite levels of the top players in the world. Can you name anyone playing for one of the second-tier South American teams who you'd put in the top 10 in the world at his position?
