(Adds Platini reply) By Simon Evans NASSAU, Bahamas, April 16 (Reuters) - FIFA president Sepp Blatter's suggestion on Thursday that the CONCACAF region should be given an extra automatic qualification spot at the World Cup was met with a swift reply from UEFA president Michel Platini. CONCACAF, the governing body for North and Central America and the Caribbean, currently has three automatic places in the World Cup finals with a fourth team able to qualify through a playoff against a nation from another confederation. "If the World Cup will stay at 32 teams, then CONCACAF should have four teams," Blatter said to applause from delegates at the CONCACAF congress.
