growing even more baffled by people continuing to say brazil are the favourites, richarlison scored a worldie but this group seems even more pedestrian than they have been at the last two or three world cups

I would enjoy it a lot if we get proof that Brazil are the new England, where they just play six attackers because the fans will call for blood if you bring on a midfielder that doesn't score worldies or if you only beat Serbia 2-0, and then immediately get rinsed the first time they come up against quality opposition that can break in numbers

That really sucks. Would be him, Cruyff and Maradona gone within the last few years.

Edit: BBC just said he's in a stable condition and responding to treatment, according to a statement from the hospital.

Another difference is option 3 in how 3rd place qualifies.

As there will best 4 out of 6 3rd place in one half of the tournament and another best 4 out of 6 3rd place in the other half of the tournament.

Whereas option 2 is just a straight up best 8 out 12 3rd place will qualify.

48 team World Cup is a bafflingly bad decision. FIFA and commercial interests once again making the game worse, lol.

Also, my one prediction for this tournament is that Japan knock Brazil out.

My guess is FIFA's goal is to make it 64 teams but they cannot go from 32 to 64 instantly without even more push back than there is. I would think after a couple of World Cup with 48, they will get it to 64.

It's pretty obvious this is their test run for 64, because having games in the USA, Canada, and Mexico effectively means the World Cup is spread across an entire continent.

I suppose in a 64 team cup UEFA will get... dunno, 18 spots, and CONCACAF will have 18 spots too.
