Having a World Cup in California would be great because then the US wouldn't have to give out pity games to shitholes in the middle of the country or the south.

vyelkin posted:Have a giant World League broken down into leagues of 16 teams each, with promotion and relegation. Each team plays each other in their league home and away over the course of four years and at the end of four years promotion and relegation happen. When it's time for the World Cup, all 32 teams from the top two divisions get to play. Easy peasy. Plus we get Germany-Spain-Brazil-etc versus each other every time there's an international break, thus making them less useless because nobody has to play Andorra, San Marino or Liechtenstein except each other. Plus we can get rid of godawful FIFA rankings. This is unironically what they're trying to pull in Europe, if Im remembering right.

Babby Thatcher posted:remember that just one of the reasons why USA '94 was some big time fail was that some, but not all of the third place teams got through the groups. with this sort of thing going on we miss out on great moments like Italy getting 5 points at Euro 04 and still going out because of an insanely specific set of group results followed immediately by the entire nation of Italy having a 2-year-long tantrum. I'm still mad.

To be fair, it'd be kind of ridiculous to say an olympics with a literal terrorist bombing in it was "the best ever". The IOC and FIFA are both disgusting though.

Russia is going to have to have real grass pitches for the World Cup, even though most of their stadiums are turf, right?Crazy Ted posted:Well then why didn't the players file suit when the WWC was first awarded to Canada since it was already known then that all of the stadiums would use FieldTurf?

Earthy Ape Unit posted:Talking completely out of my rear end it's probably a standing issue - my guess is that until FIFA was 100% committed to using turf the case wasn't quite ready to bring before a court. Simply awarding the WWC to Canada didn't guarantee it (even if it was 99% likely) is they had to wait. That's also a good point, I wouldn't put it beyond FIFA to not announce the decision until that decision became irreversible.
