"True, but there is no reason, based on recent European performances,
for UEFA to be losing spots to Asia."

It's not based on performance - the reason is to promote soccer in
Asia, home of huge populations and rapidly growing economies. FIFA's
dream is to have Asian leagues that will rival the best European
leagues - and bring massive new revenues into the game.
