News: Club World Cup to Expand; Confederations Cup to End

I'm happy about that.

 

why does uefa oppose global nations league and what do you mean by FIFA selling its soul to the Saudis ?

 

I'm surprised they're meeting in the USA, now they can be under the jurisdiction of the FBI. Although most of the bribes wire through American banks so I guess they figure it doesn't make any difference anyway. In fact, maybe it shows confidence that so far nobody has been caught doing anything.

 

When UEFA plays it's NL finals the other confederations - which have to have more WCQ games because they get fewer finals places - play their WCQs. What's wrong with that?

Keep things as they are!

 

2021 World Champions Cup.
8 teams 5 european 3 south america in Europe so they stop yelling, maybe in France current champion or in "we are the victim" UK.
And you can replay it in 2025, because money.

 

Group A Rest of the World
Brazil 5
Argentina 2
Uruguay 2
England 1

Group B Europa
Germany 4
Italy 4
France 2
Spain 1

Have fun making your groups of dead.

4 wonderfull weekends, no semifinals, chamionship game, 3rt place game, 5th place game and 7 place game. ( I need another Arg-Ger aniway)
Group a in Spain, grop b in Germany, finals in France.

 

I'm not saying he's wrong, but FIFA hasn't said anything. FIFA writes about issues created by others such as illegally selling tickets, so if the media reports something that isn't true, FIFA should comment. If the media reports something that is true that FIFA did not want announced yet, FIFA should write a brief piece confirming that it is true and if necessary say something like "more details will follow in due time."

Are those meant to be guesses at how many points each country would get? In a single round-robin group of four, the total points must range from 12 (if there were 6 draws) to 18 (if there were no draws). Your groups add up to 10 and 11 points.

I don't like the idea because of the likely that a team would be eliminated by a tiebreaker. With the current World Cup format, barring a very unlikely three-way tie for first, any team eliminated by a tiebreaker will have fewer points than the first place team. If the only way to reach the Final is to win your group, there could be 2 teams with 7 points who played a draw against each other, with the winner determined by goal differential against the bottom two.

 

Brazil 5 world cup winned, argentina 2.

 

If you're going to only allow in countries that have won a World Cup I demand you only let them use PLAYERS that have won a World Cup.

Otherwise you are rewarding people for other's people's efforts.

I remember the year before the World Cup in 1998 Tournoi de France '97 was a tournament made up of World Cup winners. It was fun to watch on tv.

Roberto Carlos' FK to beat Barthez was iconic and one of my favorite memories from any tournament.

A World Cup winners Cup would be something I welcome with open arms.

 

I see nothing wrong with a global nations league. It should be welcomed. Basically an improved Confederations cup.

Not enough inter confederational competition with only 1 world cup every 4 years.

 

I like the idea of it in theory but do not like the neutral site idea being proposed.
To me a True Nations League would have teams playing home and away legs for most of the tournament until maybe the semis.
But i know that is not being discussed at all as a possibility.

 

I don't think a true world league is feasible right now. There are too many other things going on.

 

I agree.

 

The top 16 teams in the world can easily play a homeandaway world league the same dates that there is a euro league, you just need do it official so the conmebol qualification 2022 can go around it.
Brazil, Uruguay, argentina and colombia are ready, the last one in each group get replaced a by a team of the same continent, and the rest of the world keep going doing his own stuff, everrybody happy.
Are the top12 european ready?
