As for FIFA deciding who plays who in the WC playoff that's true I think, but didn't it get changed from AFC v OFC and CONCACAF v CONMEBOL after lobbying from CONCACAF? So lobbying in the other direction could help.

I thought this was done via the drawing of lots of some sort.  Could be wrong though.

Oh, and anyone wanting to sing derisory chants about Liverpool at any ground & in any competition in the world, is a friend of mine.

Yeah it was, for the first time in the last qualification. Prior to that it was predetermined by FIFA. So in theory CONCACAF had a 2/3 chance of not getting CONMEBOL. Of course that's if you believe the draw was completely legitimate and not rigged so the confederation who had lobbied to get it changed got the weakest opponents
