The funny thing is that a lot of decent players are trying to claim a spot in this tourney.
What everyone should keep in mind is that its about representing your country.
It is about honour. If there are too few people to represent a country then it should be possible to merge 2 countries, like serbia an montrenegro once did. It is not about fitting the best players into the tournament, but fitting the best players into their country, which could exclude some good players.
