tbh Pulisic is not bad, million times better than Dono , but outside of him they are

if LOLgeria doesn't qualify to every WC with 9 slots
Egypt laughed.
If it has a similar "everybody qualifies, even without winning" format, they might have.
So we will see more parked buses than ever, and penalties in the group stage
Also easier to fix matches tbh.
lefty would love to see another Austria-West Germany
Just wow...!
I'm not sure that I like this at all...
Terrible stuff, tbh. Hopefully Trump is done turning the middle east into a parking lot by then, and south america gets a couple more spots, tbh... no offense to lefty's cousins...
Africa and Asia 4 more teams each one
CONCACAF will have the same teams as CONMEBOL
Let them try imo
Germany Austria getting cucked at home in Euro 2008 was great tbh
with 48 teams we can see more of teams like greece, china, canada and argentina tbh.
Not Canada
Imagine a world...where they host the WC in Canada...in December!
in summer it would be ok tbh.
Decent cities, imo underrated following, not crazy far from europe/south america/east asia (better geographically than japan), decent country, decent infrastructure, not horrible but not great.
Also, infinitely better than qatar at 50 degrees
lol gots that needed water breaks during 2014 WC
Some Algerian players were fasting during the game vs Germany
LOL
tbh, I don't know what the point of regional WC qualification matches would be.... In the case of CONMEBOL only two teams would be left out... just have the Copa America and have the top ranked teams go...
There are several cons to this proposition... I remember WC champions that started slow in the group stage and ended up winning the whole tournament - a slow start now will eliminate you from the tournament entirely under the proposed format.
seeding should matter tbh. You win your qualification group, finish top 3, top 5 whatever, should give you a good slot.
What I'd do is
1. compact south and north america into a single federation, "america" and get normals group play like everybody else, if I see another trinidad tobago I swear I'm throwing the tv out the window
2. give more slots to europe. So many decent teams barely see the world cup (bosnia, denmark, ukraine, turkey, greece, ireland, scotland, norway, romania, bulgaria, hungary, slovakia, czech republic, serbia, wales, albania and so on). Imo all these teams are clearly over bolivia/venezuela/paraguay/peru/honduras. Not trolling tbh, these teams play good tactical football and are no pushovers (see france vs romania, wales going to the semis, serbia's roster, bosnia's vs argentina, etc).
And spare me the "euro teams at the world cup ..", euro teams have been kicking the out of every contender and winning it since brasil 30 years of talent for the ronaldo-rivaldo-ronaldinho-and-5-other-world-class-players all star team, and we've been doing it away from home most of the time, against good teams like misty's, back-to-back chile and a nice brasil in '06.
