In case anyone is interested it looks like the initial field of 35 teams in the "Americas + Carib Zone" have now been whittled to 12, 5 of these have red, white and blue in their flags. Next is the further elimination to see who gets to go to Africa for the tournament in 2010. I'm using the FIFA website to track these results.
