My best guess based on what I have seen.
Qualify automatically - USA, Argentina, Serbia, France, Tunisia, Japan, Australia and China.
That leaves these guys as the likely qualifiers for the tournaments ( * for the two chosen after the WC);
Africa-
Nigeria
Senegal*
Angola*
Americas-
Brazil
Venezuela
DR
PR
Canada
Mexico*
Uruguay*
Asia-
New Zealand
Iran*
Philippines*
Europe-
Poland
Russia
Spain
Italy
Czech Republic
Lithuania
Greece
Turkey
Germany
Slovenia*
Croatia*
If we get drawn with Spain we are done. I think we have a chance with everyone else.
Best case scenario is that Spain, Lithuania, and Germany are in the other last chance tourneys. Germany has underperformed in the WC but they have a strong team.
