They're trying their best to get Scotland in, mind you, if their latest manager bombs out, they might have to make it seventy countries... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berkshire Red Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Good decision, devalues the excitement for the smaller countries when they make it to the finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderMB Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 I think a lot of smaller countries would be happy to make it to a World Cup, so the likes of Scotland and the Faroe Islands would probably love a larger World Cup. The issue for me is that it devalues the competition. Hosts have to support more fans and spend more money to host this money-sink, all while advertises decide to not bother when a group is full of smaller countries. Another issue is that Qatar doesn't have many friends, and opening the World Cup to other nations means adding more people to an already-unstable climate.

Bazooka Joe Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 At the rate they're going, soon there'll be more countries qualifying than failing to qualify. ... and based on the venue for the Europa Cup, it wouldn't surprise me if they decided to hold a future World Cup tournament in Antartica (with Iceland being odds-on favourite to win!)

Was decided well in advance. Tbilisi, Georgia- All Spanish final Super Cup 2015. Bucharest, Romania- All Spanish Europa League Final 2012. Then you have all-German final in London- okay much easier, granted and an all-Italian CL final in 2003 at Old Trafford, again somewhat easier. Admittedly, there are some fairly unique circs around this one and it is on balance less than ideal, but the venue was decided a while ago.

CliftonCliff Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Wasn’t 48 teams another typical piece of Blatter lunacy, like the Qatar business? Glad the idea’s gone the same way he has. Bloated, unwieldy, unwanted and over-long tournament that would bore even most diehard football fans to death before it ever got to the serious bit. A rare outbreak of sanity at the dysfunctional nightmare that is FIFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
