16 uefa spots is like everyone

Watch one of the greats still fail to qualify. Remember that Iceland won their group, Croatia only got second place, and Turkey fourth. There's a lot of potential for embarrassing failures, as Italy and Holland can testify.

The host slot comes from the relevant federation space:

AFC: 8 direct slots

CAF: 9 direct slots

CONCACAF: 6 direct slots

CONMEBOL: 6 direct slots

OFC: 1 direct slot

UEFA: 16 direct slots

plus 2 play off spaces.

Fifa haven't announced how they are going to handle 3 co-hosts but I'd imagine they all get in with 3 others

remember when the world cup didn't have 30 bad teams

Maybe Canada should consider not being a 2nd world petro state where people shop for groceries at Canadian Tire and Ann Murray is mandated by law to have a song play on the radio every 30 minutes and they pronounce about wrong

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!
