>51 countries (10+41) >All concacaf competitions are dropped, only Copa America and Libertadores remain(and Sudamericana but with a name change) >Nations League every 2 years becomes a qualifier for World Cup (12 slots) and Copa America (16 slots).
>4 Divisions (A, B, C, D) >A: 10 countries (9 matchdays) >B: 10 countries (9 matchdays) >C: 14 countries (13 matchdays) >D: 17 countries (2 groups of 8-9, 7-8 matchdays each, final match to decide division winner)
>Nations League 1 (world cup, 12 slots) >A: top 6 qualify, bottom 4 go to playoff >B: top 4 go to playoff >C: top 1 goes to playoff >D: top 1 goes to playoff
>Nations League 2 (Copa America, 16 slots) >A: top 6 qualify, bottom 4 go to playoff >B: top 3 qualify, #4-7 go to playoff >C: top 1 qualifies, #2 goes to playoff >D: top 1 goes to playoff
Playoffs (repechaje) works like this
>10 countries, divided in 2 groups of 5 >Each country plays each other once, top 3 of each group qualify >Each country plays 4 matches.
CONCACAF is well aware of the disparity between CONMEBOL and themselves. The merge will never happen.

Asia+Oceania merge is much more sensible and probable

Club Competitions like Libertadores or Sudamericana would just copy UEFA's format
Samuel Hill
Why would USA and Mexico give up on almost free World Cup berths?
James Martinez
No, fuck off
Gabriel Kelly
No it shouldnt. We have enough shit teams as it is. We should be looking to reduce the number of shitters, not increase it. For me Copa America would only be played by Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Chile and Colombia. The other trash NTs can go fuck themselves.
