Lol at the guardian's takequote:What has happened to the World Cup? They then outline the format, which we know about so we'll skip... quote:OK … sounds a bit weird? More jokes about parking the bus etc and then... quote:Anyway, enough of all that, let’s get to the heart of the matter. Does it mean Scotland will qualify? https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/jan/10/48-team-world-cup-fifa-plan-2026

Yeah and that would widen the door for a US non qualification if they have to face some grown up opposition and FIFA wouldn't want that.

And whines. Glad I'm not the only one who wanted this.

Which is apparently the worst because none of the connecting flights line up, and they don't have their own aircraft like the national side.

oldman posted:Your point stands about travelling to Central Asia but Kazakhstan is part of UEFA not the AFC. With the high travel costs and low TV and price money, the Asian Champions League is a total money pit. gently caress, I'm the idiot that confused Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan.

I love the idea of getting rid of offsides. Because football without offsides was really dumb, and people think "man, that sounds good!"

I wonder what the process is if Qatar can't host it. I thought they had a backup country ready to go, ie: a major european country with the requisite football infrastructure, but lol, who knows.

I honestly don't see why letting a chinese team play in the equivalent of the Conference South (if that) is even that big of a deal?

I dunno, a champions league and premier league without both Manchester clubs sounds kinda cool and good to be honest And honestly who would miss PSG I mean seriously. edit: So we're clear this idea is stupid and poo poo and I hate it.
