Best part is that CONMEBOL is going to keep the current qualifying format even though 6 of 10 qualify directly and 7th goes to playoff. Nothing like 18 games where 12 of them don't matter at all.

Mustard Iceman posted:Fans of Peru and Australia are probably stoked about not having to go through an inter-confederation playoff for the third cycle in a row. I'm Australian and I hate it We were the last team to qualify for 2022 so there was already a serious "making up the numbers" vibe to our effort this time around. Gunna be even worse when we will likely qualify each time with worse players and less of a challenge

Mustard Iceman posted:The 16 groups of three thing is especially terrible. 12x4 would at least present the possibility of some interesting matches in the first phase. lol just when I thought it wouldn't get worse than 48 instead of 32 teams I find out they have made another terrible decision. Don't tell me, 2 advance out of each group to a knockout round of 32, rendering the group stage almost meaningless?

One less group game, more games total, but the champion will still play a max of seven games.

What will make it even better is that you won't be able to have it like you do now where the last group game is simultaneous. Every group will have one team that will already be done, and 2 playing knowing exactly what they need to advance, as well as potentially what their next round draw will be.

The Dutch football federation had announced that the captain would keep wearing the One Love armband, and even pledged to pay any Fifa fines for wearing it. So now Fifa has announced that any captain taking the field with the One Love armband will be automatically given a yellow card.

Should hand the armbands out to every coach, manager, advisor, doctor and every other support team member standing on the sidelines. They're not in the field of play so it shouldn't be a problem according to FIFA

I personally wish I was rich enough for one of those types of rooms it would be great for my warhammer tabletop gaming.

if we're doing the north american world cup it should definitely be hex quals from colombus to puebla into knockouts. i wouldn't mind if only the winner each hex group advances, if we're allowing bad teams into the world cup you should beat the bad and the good outright to get to quarterfinals. everyone gets five games to hit the ground running or perish, five games for each team after a four year wait seems fair and we get to see more euro teams like ireland, hungary, or north macedonia.

All 11 players should wear the armband instead. Force the ref to book 11 players before the match has even kicked off. Sod trying to win this tournament, let's just turn it into a total farce instead. It's what it deserves.

A lot of majority-Muslim countries will serve "bacon" but it's not pork bacon, they'll have turkey bacon or chicken bacon etc. I haven't travelled much in the Middle East but I've seen it in Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, and I assume it's in other places too.
