so 2 african teams could be in the same Group :mumble:

 

all these teams of the pot 3 are easy for Nigeria they have to beat the 2nd team of the pot 2 and bingo

No they said that geographical constraints still exist, a group can only have 2 european teams, and no other confederations in one group, so once nigeria or morocco come out , they will take out the groups of tunisia, egypt and senegal out of the pot

That's not totally true, Europe will gain only 3 more teams, the other confederations though will have pretty pointless qualifying.

 

South America will have 6

That is far from pointless. 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Eh, South America might still be ok since this year was very close and chile didnt make it (and they might get 7th place since they will probably get another playoff spot)

 

but the other 3? 6 teams of Concacaf? 8 of AFC? 9 of CAF???

North America will have 6 (the entire Hex)

South America will have 6

Africa will have 9!!!

Asia will have 8!!!

and Oceania will have 1 direct 

and also 2 playoff spots, not sure from which confederations yet

 

This expansion is only made for the smaller countries to qualify, not European teams

 

 

Confederation Total FIFA eligible members Percentage of members with places in finals Total places in finals

AFC 46 17% 8 4.5
CAF 54 17% 9 5
CONCACAF 35 17% 6 3.5
CONMEBOL 10 60% 6 4.5
OFC 11 9% 1 0.5
UEFA 55 29% 16 13
Play-Off     2 -

Thanks for this, I didn't actually paid attention on quotas. But that is too much for both, Asia and Africa. Needless to say that the quality will probably deteriorate

It's better than 10 extra places for Europe. Plus AFC and CAF have historically been better in accepting bribes :p

All of a sudden you'll see countries like Panama qualify, and countries like Honduras, DR Congo or Burkina Faso get really close :d

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!
