Just another way to get more money. FIFA and UEFA make me laugh. 100% against the ESL but then happy to overcrowd an already crazy calendar.
Already going to 48 countries in 2026.
UEFA - you start in the CL, get knocked out and go into the EL. 3rd in the group you go into the conference. Pathetic
The reason the World Cup is still thought of as special by many, ( not all ), is it only comes along every 4 years .
I’ve been losing interest anyway . This is the classic killing of the golden goose .
Ridiculous idea
Well I presume we are all football lovers, so what is it with the national team ?
What are we sick of ? The overhyped media around this footballing circus ? A failure to connect with the patriotic mandate ? Or if it's not Leicester it ain't worth bothering with ?
For me International Football stopped being watchable when teams like San Marino, Faroe Islands, Gib Point and a plethora of other no mark teams joined the fray making qualifying matches a complete farce and boring.
I agree, they should put the minnows in their own group, and then allow probably about 2 of them to join the main qualifiers.
As for the finals, expanding the numbers just waters down the quality of the tournament.
It's all about money.
