it's the Coca-Cola penalty shoot out! refresh yourself with the original, now also with stevia: the authentic taste you love, but with less *keeper saves first penalty* calories.

Next they'll announce that all 48 teams will make it out of the 16-group group stage. The 2nd and 3rd place teams will play each other in a preliminary knockout round while the 1st place teams get a bye into the round of 32. It will be the worst most bloated World Cup ever, until the next one.

I wish FIFA would just cut to the chase and expand the World Cup to 211 teams.

Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

And at the end of fear, oblivion.

Part of me wishes that endless bloat will compel the "good" countries to finally break off and have their own tournament but I know deep in my heart that the money will still flow and nothing will change.

I loved the short lived divestment push against FIFA's main sponsors.

As if sponsors divesting from FIFA wouldn't immediately be replaced by a half-dozen state owned or oligarch controlled oil companies to take their place.

Wikipedia tells me there are 211 member nations in FIFA, and the fact that it's an odd number won't stop an egomaniac president from trying to expand the tournament to include them all.

What a great suggestion let's round up the trams to a nice number, say, 256

2 team group stages, 4 matches
Winner goes to the 128 winners group stage
Loser goes to the 128 losers group stage, where the winner of that stage goes on to play the loser of the 128 winners 2nd team group stage, in the third group stage

Just imagine!
