They just shouldn't expand, and then have a very convoluted tournament with 16 groups of 3 teams, the World Cup is Fine the way it is!

I wonder if they said the same thing prior to 1982 (going from 16 to 24) and 1998 (going from 24 to 32) :p

But I bet there were plenty of people saying "no, going to 32 is too much, 24 is enough."

They are expanding from 32 to 48 which is more teams than whole CONMEBOL. Also, I forgot, how many teams are in Asian AFC Cup? And I think 16 teams compete at African CAF Cup of Nations :d

That didnt change the tournament to it's very core, 8 groups instead of 6, still going to a round of 16 , now it will be 16 groups of 3 teams, moving on to a round of 32!

 

and btw, they change to 32 didnt add that many teams per confederation, here they add 5 teams to Africa, 4 to Asia and make the final round of North America meaningless (this year there was only 5 legit teams in north america, and yes i know usa lost to trinidad)

Time to move away from UEFA and join AFC, which would make more sense anyway and increase their chances a lot :p

yes, i see it now, Israel - Iran, Israel - Qatar, Israel - Bahrain, Israel - Saudi Arabia...... we can just qualify because so many teams just wont show up against us

 

 

can we be in a group just with South Korea, Japan, China, Australia? wait, i dont think we can make it out of this group

 

up until 1994 when israel joined uefa (someone remembers the amazing win in france ? 3-2 on the 94th minute against Eric Cantona and David Ginola), before that they were in Oceania and through there they qualified for the 1970 World Cup and also the playoffs for the 1990 world cup (lost to colombia)
