The marathon South American qualifying process for World Cup Brazil 2014 is almost complete. 
All that remains is the intercontinental playoff between the team that finished fifth, Uruguay, and the fifth-place team from the Asian confederation, Jordan, which takes place over two legs on November 13 and 20.
If Uruguay can come out on top of that challenge, they will join Argentina, Colombia, Chile and Ecuador, the teams who claimed the first four places in the South American table, in the World Cup finals draw.
Here I will analyse the performance of each nation throughout the campaign, and assess the chances of those who have made it to the big show next year (or in Uruguay's case, are still in the running to make it).
Brazil, of course, qualified automatically as hosts, and will most likely go into the tournament as favorites following their strong performance at the Confederations Cup last June.
