They ruined whole concept of WC as 20% of all FIFA federations will compete. 

Too much, IMO.

Football is the most played sport around the world and the level of play continues to increase.

 

The amount of nations competing here is similar to what it was in 1982 when we increased to 24 teams.

On the other hand Russia entertained Peru to a 1-1 draw yesterday and meets Chile on Saturday.

I hope the South American players will not defect to the Soviet Union.

It's a misconception though. The usual suspects will always prevail. The expansion outside of more games, more money only makes sure none of the big nations (from Europe & South America miss out). Nobody cares about potential feel good story from Tahiti or whatever. Football has become a business more than a sport these days.
