Info borrowed from the articles about the separate world championships, so all information double. Why just about South America? The Banner _talk 01:35, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or trim and rename as a list with links to the relevant articles—or is there some sort of world-wide index article that does the job already? הסרפד (Hasirpad) [formerly Ratz...bo] 01:42, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - If we are to have anything, we should have articles about each individual country's historical performances at the World Cup. – Pee Jay 00:29, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - what does the article intend to do? Seems like overkill to me. Giant Snowman 09:20, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Agree with PeeJay a country by country series of articles would be more focussed, the article as it is is very cumbersome and I am not sure how it would be effectively used, especially when the individual world cup articles have essentially the same information presented in a more useable manner.

Comment - Agree with PeeJay, no point in having such article for a whole continent. Deleting this or splitting it into individual countries seems like the best solution. Mentoz86 (talk) 20:06, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
