who the fuck cares with the world cup irrelevant tournament tbqh i bet you the team who won it the most is irrelevant as fuck

Loosing against a French region must be hard especially after being fucked at home by Germans Big Cocks

What's the format going to be? 3 teams per group?

Fucking FIFA cunts are trying to fix something that is not broken. The current format is perfect.

Wasn't 2026 the 48 team expansion one? Why do it with Qatar? They've already said they want to put 2022 into a nearby nation, probably Bahrain, Oman or UAE.

Is it FIFA or whichever Qatari oil scion is paying for things? This stinks of the sort of tasteless indulgent waste that rich middle eastern fuckwits specialise in.

>Groups of 3 from A to P
>1st and 2nd advance
>New Round of 32
>rest is normal format

Concacaf,asia and africa really need more spots
Cant wait for mongolia vs namibia

More Chink and oil money.
Asia went from having 4 secure spots to having 8, meanwhile we only 1 more spot since we always get the 5 spot.

>USA fails to qualify
>increase the field by 50% in the very next World Cup
why does the rest of the world pretend to hate America when you can't stand the thought of us being left out of another World Cup?

>8
potentialy 9 and they will have it since they will have to face the potential 7th concacaf country in playoff

But you will eliminated right away see

2026 was suppose to be the expansion one because three teams (USA, Canada and Mexico) auto qualify as hosts.

Asia is a huge arse place so it's fair they get more spots. South Asia alone has like half a dozen nations.

Gonna be a shit WC with two hosts who don't have the culture or actively loathe the sport.

>implying 94 wasn't based

You dont stop it. Just dont watch it when it happens

Why not 8 groups of 6 with the first two qualifying as usual?
It would make the teams who qualify for Ro16 more deserving being the best out of 5 games rather than a more random best out of 3

cause they wanted to keep the same amount of time they competition take place , so they replaced the 3rd group match by a round of 32

>implying the US doesn't have the GOAT soccer culture

Load of bullshit imo.
Also fuck these multi country tournaments. As if the US isn't huge enough. How the fuck are people going to follow the games if they go?

2 matchs more for a team which go to the finals.
So maybe 10 high pressure and high level match in one months.
It is impossible for the players except if you replace players every match.

Also it will be 15 matchs by group!!!
You want a 2 month WC!!

Are you prepared with a WC with 2 French?
France and Tahiti!
New Zealand sucks so hard than it is possible than they cuck them

Cut off all funding to Isreal if they agree to let us have it at an appropriate venue.

>The best regions only get 4.5 extra spots combined
>Asia will have shit like China and UAE qualify
>With that amount of spots for concacaf, the mighty Tripadvisor & Trivago or even fucking Canada might make it
Piss off.

Do something about it you irrelevant bitch

You can't stop them, most of ConCACAf, CAF, OFC and AFC teams wants more spots in the WC and all together have more votes than UEFA and Conmebol, there are even rumors that conCACAf has already planned a new format for the qualifiers (because we would have 6,5 spots instead of 3.5), which would be similar to the current format of UEFA with five groups of 6 and 1 group of 5, with the first place of each group qualifying to the WC

Attached: 1551039346440.jpg (399x464, 52K)

They just want to make sure the USA, China and eventually India always have a guaranteed spot at the World Cup for maximum viewers/shekels.

Not to mention all the Gulf state shitters that will be getting extra spots from the AFC

The 48 format might be alright, an extra knockout game, but all the additional spots should be decided with inter-continent play offs to stop busparking shitters from clogging up the tournament

>might be alright
>groups of 3 teams
lol no

I don't mind having 48 teams in the world cup.
What I have a problem with, are the 16 groups of 3 with just 2 matches for each team
Awful format
If it was 12 groups of 4 I'd be fine with it.

A lot of 3rd games in the the 4 team format are completely pointless. Apart from not wanting to risk changing something that's already good there's nothing inherently bad about 3 team groups

>12 groups of 4
>24 teams qualify
>12 knock out games first round
>6 second round
>3 third round
Do you see the problem here?

Best 8 3rds qualify(?)

This is the reasoning they use

Attached: 48 team world cup.png (1148x652, 84K)

this is what I had in mind
>12 group winners advance
>4 best 2nd placed teams advance

So only the 12 fourth placed teams and 4 third placed teams would go out? It would take all of the excitement out of group games, pretty much win one game and you're alright, be way worse than 3 team groups

...

If you have to win a group to go through (in most cases) then you'd have to seed the fuck out of the groups. You either have boring groups with one team far better than everyone else (creating lots of dead games), or you let bigger teams compete in the same group thus clogging up the knockout stages with shitters

8 groups of 4 is the best system, but if we're going to have 48 team WCs then 3 team groups is by far the best system

>1000+ stickers


Panini must be behind it

48 teams extension is pushed by anti qatar countries, it's a way to humiliate them, they shilled so hard during a decade to finally host a world cup and because of the teams extension all they have planned is not enough and its neighbours will get to host the world cup too. the 48 teams extension was supposed to be made for 2026 with 3 big countries hosting and thus getting host spots

What makes you thought about everyone missed America for being out of the World Cup? Haven't you ever thought there are more teams who were more likeable than USA (like Italy), and that's why they tried to expand the WC?

It's useless, no one tried to stop that when they have the opportunity and now it's too late. It's already fucked.

>Zimbabwe vs England
Imagine

It would be an awesome banter.

l like the arabesque logo.

And all of them are shite

Well whatever, who cares. It'll just be longer and we might see some epic shit like France - Malawi 15:0 or something.

>cocacaf 6,5
...

This is an excellent distraction strategy by FIFA. I've already forgotten that Qatar got the WC through bribery and then used slaves to build the stadia.

>europe: 18
>africa: 7.5
>asia: 7.5
>south america: 7
>concacaf: 5.5
>oceania: 1.5
>host: 1

would be kewl

>Mexico
>CR
>USA
>Honduras
>T&T/Jamaica/Panama/Guatemala/Cuba/Haiti

>We might actually qualify

Wtf is fifa thinking?

Just imagine England or France having a Tripadvisor and Trivago moment in the WC

Let me fix this shit for you guys.
36 Nation World Cup. 3 groups of 12, 12 group winners and 4 runner ups advance to round of 16. The addition of 1 new Confederation and the split of another.
AFC East/OFC: 4 *
AFC West: 2 *
CAF: 6
Caribbean Federation: 2 *
CONCACAF: 3
CONMEBOL: 5
UEFA: 14

AFC East/OFC, the OFC gets swallowed into the AFC and the AFC with just their East and South East regional fedderations.
AFC West, AFC that's left with their Central, South, and West regional federations. Arabs/Indians
Carribbean federation, as the name implies, they pull out of the CONCACAF and get their own 2 berths.
CONCACAF gets to be a kino 10 naiton Confederation similar to CONMEBOL.

More nations can be included this way while keeping the quality still somewhat high. Africans, Euros, and Sudacas benefit the least but the tournament, the World Cup, as a whole still keeps quality.

RATE, HATE, COMMENT, and SUB!

>Mexico vs. Nicaragua on a rainy day
lmao

>concacaf can have up to 7 nations
Dear lord just make a cup between UEFA and CONMEBOL already

Attached: carlos bianchi.gif (280x254, 854K)

It's so ridiculous that if the nations qualified based on FIFA rankings you'd get this (provided Canada beats Iraq using the same logic with AFC)

Oh and you wanna know who's below Canada? Fucking Curaçao

We are going to merge qualifiers M8. Our extra spots actually mean extra spots for CONMEBOL

Tbh they have been played well in the CNL qualifiers
They got 1 point in 2006 against sweden and lost 2-0 to England
>he doesn't rate based Curaçao

>they have played*
Fucking phoneposting

>3 groups of 12
I stopped right there, It's Shit, fix that again.

by establishing the FIFA WORLD LEAGUE

Why not just make a eruopa cup instead of having a top 10 team destroy a team trying to park the bus.

>Africa gets four more
>Asia gets four more
>Conmebol only get two more
Absolute stupidity and they're going to get away with it

>Conmebol only get two more
Only just one more lol

>only 10 members
They should merge with conCACAf

It would be cool to see Australia hosting a WC.

>timezones
yea na

But these places have more people and greater growth. This expansion is about the world in 2070 than for the near future. Your opinion and spending habits are yesterday's news to them. In their plans, you are already dead.

I'd bet my niece's ass that when he's 80 China is still gonna be shit at football

Would be cool to witness England's world cup hopes and dreams going down the drain spinning in a different direction.

Not when the shoulin monks pick up the sport and make tiki taka look like child's play.

>WC games in november
this is going to be a real shitshow

At least some regions in Mexico have a good weather in November.

Remember when Blatter got kicked out and it was supposed to be the end of the corruption? Instead of simply moving the tournament, FIFA has just dug in even further. The owners of the top European clubs are going to be furious if key players come back from the WC with injuries.

>6.5 for concacaf
Who the fuck are >we even gonna send Usa, Mexico, Canada, Costa Rica and who Haiti? Jamaica? El salvador. So wer're just gonna have a bunch of filler games before the real shit starts now so no one feels left out?

the panini jew is already rubbing its hands at the prospect of selling this much stickers

You forgot honduras, South Chiapas and TripAdvisor and Trivago

China still won't qualify. There are many arab teams that are better than them.

>Oceania 1
Why bother saying Oceania? Just say New Zealand.

"block new zealand path"

Looks like (((they’re))) funneling money to shitholes that otherwise wouldn’t have been able to compete

Who do you think would win?

12 groups of 4 is only fine if we have a RO32 with top 8 3rd placed teams qualify for the knockouts.

>if we're going to have 48 team WCs then 3 team groups is by far the best system
Fuck no, any system with each group having an odd number of teams is automatically trash.

Gotta provide one single reason why. I've explained why 12 four team groups would be shit
terrible, terrible idea, see

*scores a hat trick on every island nation*

It's literally just an expansion of the 24 team format. Would you rather have the Euros consist of 8 groups of 3? I know I wouldn't have for the AFC Asian Cup.

Just go the way of the NCAA tournament and expand to 64

Also odd number of teams in a group means each team gets unequal rest times and it's impossible to have every team in the group play a match simultaneously.

it is the only way, the most number of games played by the winning team must not be higher than 7

Teams get unequal rest times already and so what?
If you want almost every single third game and a lot of second games to be meaningless then your idea is brilliant

>the most number of games played by the winning team must not be higher than 7
Then an expansion should be off the table. What next, 64 team tournament with 16 groups of 4 where only the winners advance?

Teams within the same group should not get such a lopsided inequality of rest times. You think it's fun that one team getting 2 days of rest is playing a team that's getting 4. It's not. The team playing the first and last match of a group of 3 gets an unfair advantage over the other 2 teams.

This is basically
>until China qualifies

Anyway Yea Forums what great footballing nations will grace the next world cup from these regions?
>Africa (9)
>Asia (8.5)
>Concacaf (6.5)

The current format already has completely unequal rest times for every single knockout game. Why is also having it at the group stage such a big deal?

China
UAE
Jordan
DR Congo
Jamaica
Tlacopan & Teotihuacan

>You want a 2 month WC!!
I'd have a 6 week one and cut down the normal season quite happily

Africa :
>Senegal
>Nigeria
>Egypt
>Tunisia
>Algeria
>Morroco
>Cameroon
>Ivory coast
>Ghana
Asia :
>South Korea
>Japan
>Australia
>Saudi Arabia
>Iran
>UAE
>Qatar
>Syria
>Iraq
Concacaf :
>USA
>Mexico
>Panama
>Costa Rica
>Honduras
>Trinidad

>tfw group of England, USA, Russia, Syria

only groups of 3 now so gotta remove one

Because the current format gives every team at least 4 days' rest between matches, other than the 3rd place playoff which might give 3. In the knockouts, the only unfair situations in terms of rest are in the 3rd place playoff and the final, where one team gets one day's extra rest. This won't be the case in the groups if each group has an odd number of teams.

Holy shit this is so stupid
Here's how it should be
>Europe 24 teams
>South America 8 teams
>Africa 6 teams
>Asia 5 teams
>North America 4
>Oceania 1
No host nation auto pass, no filling the world cup with meme nations from continents that have never mattered, everyone knows that the important teams come from Europe and South America

>No host nation auto pass
Opinion discarded.

nah, both just don't deserve to get more spots

We don't need Qatar, South Africa, and Morocco to auto qualify as a first class team in Group A
The only alternative is to take away one spot from the federation the host nation is from
