Crazy and loaded plans for soccer players.
Wenger came up with penalty kicks before matches
Infantino pushes the idea world Cup once every three years. We will also look into the reaction of clubs in the spring if injury outbreaks start after the 29-day tournament in Qatar mid-season. But Gianni has invented a new club world Cup for 32 participants. And it has also increased the odds for the final part of the team World Cup. In Canada, United States of America and Mexico will play with 48 teams. Logistically, the tournament is insane, because instead of 64 games, you have to play 104 games (or 80 in another format) and stay within thirty-two days.
Most of the games will be held in cities United States of America. Canada is represented by only two cities – Toronto and Vancouver, between which there are more than 4,000 kilometers, and Mexico is represented by three cities. Fans will not be able to watch several groups’ matches live, although their total number is also not yet clear. And since they were thinking of 16 groups of three teams, Wenger came up with a penalty shoot-out before the match started. Otherwise, as in world Cupwhere there were already a trio of teams, there will be contract squabbles in the final rounds.
To be honest, the situation is stupid. Tournaments of 48 participants cannot be organized according to the classic formula without reservation. We have chosen 16 host cities and now most likely not all of them will receive a group.
Better to make twelve regular quartets
IN fifa they lean toward the 12-quartet option, because any expert focus groups will destroy the proponents of the 16-quartet idea, sending only the winners further on. Europe will have 16 tickets, just tune in to two big matches for only the Europeans, diluted by Argentina and Brazil, to be in the playoffs. And if you make 12 groups, how to find the missing playoff participants? Do you take penalties again before matches, racking up 0.5 virtual points for a win?
It is assumed that 24 teams will enter the playoffs, the first and second places in the quartets. Then eight more are needed, half of those who took third place. In this case, only the group stage will be extended to 72 games. How to choose the best in the standings from twelve teams, of which only four need to be eliminated? Further indicators may be the same, you will have to count the “fair play points”, and this is an extremely subjective assessment: whoever meets Mateu Laos will collect the cards.
Sure, 12 quartets are better than 16 trios. But the playoffs cannot be reduced to 16 teams, because in this case eight of the twelve teams that took second place will fly away. Everyone should be able to play world Cup.
He will choose maximum income instead of football
If we release two teams from each of the 12 quartets, and then add eight more, it turns out that only 16 teams, a third one, will be eliminated in the first stage. This will add spice to the playoffs, there will be another huge round – 1/32 finals. Seventy-two matches in the group stage, thirty-two matches in the playoffs – already 104 matches, forty more than in the tournament in Qatar. Sounds like overkill, but remember geography.
For fans of United States of AmericaUnlike Qataris, watching a live sporting event is a daily pastime. They even go to baseball which is not easy to bear. San Francisco and Los Angeles, Boston and New York, Atlanta and Miami are all different sizes, but big enough to hold full arenas, even though there are 104 fixtures and five group stage matches a day in different time zones.
But an extra playoff round is another 16 surprise chances, depending on pair composition and logistics. A flight from Houston to Mexico City after a tough group stage could kill Brazil or France’s chances.
The tournament will be intense and hardly weak
Infatino took the Cup to the Middle East, risking the rest of his reputation, but he made a lot of money and got an interesting tournament to watch, especially for the final deal. Also, Gianni is now a dictator, he will be the only presidential candidate Fifa. Having made friends with the Americans, he will avoid investigations into financial affairs Fifa at least until the 2030 World Cup.
The Swiss needed the votes of the African and Asian federations. Even though Hakimi yelled at Gianni because of refereeing, the Moroccan team was the first from Africa to reach the semifinals. Left without medals, but inside United States of America, Canada and Mexico will try to charm again. Asia had a semi-final first, the scandalous success of Hiddink and South Korea, but the Japanese in Qatar played decently without the help of a referee, like many Africans.
Asia and Africa get plus four entrants, Europe plus three, South America plus two, North and Central America make up seats which automatically go to the cup organisers, and Oceania will receive a guaranteed spot. But the important thing is not to approve penalties before matches and not to make 16 groups. Let there be group madness and an incredibly eventful tournament.
The castration of the Chalice, dear to hundreds of millions of people on the planet, is of no use. After all, next to greedy reforms is a happy ending. Easily recruit 48 decent national teams. Egypt and Nigeria from Africa. United Arab Emirates and possibly Russia from Asia. Not only Italians from Europe, but Colombia and Chile from South America. The tournament in Qatar had weak hosts and 31 strong teams, but United States of AmericaCanada and Mexico are stronger.
The favorites will surely fail, but in a world where Germany has fallen to Japan and Belgium to Morocco, it is worth recognizing that it is time for the Europeans to show superiority on the pitch and not whine after defeat, like the french .
