Once back to normal whatever and whenever that will be I think both regions would benefit greatly by a joint Copa America if it were done right....
That's likely to change by late September
Yeah its been a while since United States has been outnumbered by the opposing fans at a home World Cup qualifier. These are the only 2 where its...
With there being Nations League, Gold Cup, Olympics all in the summer I'd be suprised if there is replacement teams that they aren't essentially...
Remember this non CONMEBOL usually are only allowed to send an Olympic squad, not the full national team.
Yes, because Mexico has nations league in early June and that's it because qualifiers got bumped until September. If 2 teams wete to get added in...
My guess is they'll go from 2 to 3 matches in certain windows like CONCACAF and UEFA are doing to get all the matches they need to in.
What if we delayed the World Cup to June/July of 2023?
You'd play 6 group matches per day through the first two matches for each team. For the last group match you'd play 8 matches per day.
If we are going to have 48 teams I'd prefer 12 groups of 4. 12 group winners, 12 group runners up, plus 8 best 3rd placed teams advance to Round...
That's true, probably best if the tournament was in the Americas then otherwise Europe will dominate. They may anyway.
Club World Cup is happening, super league is not.
This is interesting. I like it.
I agree. I dislike the 3 team group format. The other issues you brought up are very valid and a big reason why we will eventually move to 64...
Would you like to see a format change to the World Cup format in 2030? Not all, but many of us think that 32 teams with 8 groups with 16 teams...
What if you just did 6 winners play it out. If you wanted to expand it, go to 8 and have Europa League and Copa SudAmericana winner as teams 7 and...
You can find an excuse for any World Cup. 2010 was played during South Africa winter. South America can use the same conditions excuse as you did...
What would be the best format for this idea of a tournament?
I mean it also helps UEFA has 5 times as many teams. Again comparing results from one World Cup which was in Europe doesn't lend validity to your...
You got it.
Its not 100 percent, but pretty close to a formality that Canada, Mexico and USA will all get automatic spots in the World Cup in 2026. The Final...
That's the spirit. Truthfully, I want Canada to host more matches. Better weather for matches that time of year, safer, closer for me as well as...
Ummmm FIFA pays the local organizing committee for organizing and conducting the World Cup. It also makes available to the host country a legacy...
And that single bid is United about when and where the matches will take place. The format won't vary but maybe slightly from the bid book. The 3...
The profits after FIFA gets their cut are being split amongst the 3. That's why all 4 stakeholders are in agreement about the late stages of the...
