The 2026 World Cup has finally come to a close, as Rodri, Lamine Yamal & Spain defeated Lionel Messi & Argentina 1-0 in extra time, and that has our crew taking a look ahead to the 2030 World Cup, whi
The problem is that no country can arrange this monster of an event anymore,. apart from a few dictatorships that will spend more on World Cup than their schools and hospitals. And to be honest, many of these matches were not any more interesting than my local team.
Nico is talking nonsense. If Africa had 5 spots like before Cape Verde & Congo dont qualify. Africa could have sent at least 4 more teams with no dilution. Nigeria, Cameroon, Burkina Faso, Gabon
64 teams would be a complete disaster. 48 team already ruined the quality of the game and the unfairness between teams: how can you compare the KO side of Spain with the one for Argentina (Cape Verde, Austria and Switzerland!!!)? This was due to the fact that they took 3rd-place teams in the KO round and the huge level discrepancies among the groups. Please let's go back to 32, please!
Almost lost a France along the way? When was that??This Argentine commentator is just as smart as all the Argentine players combined, which isn't high.
This is problematic because average teams with little squad depth find themselves in even greater difficulty. While they previously needed to pull off one or two upsets to reach the semi-finals, now they have to pull off one more.
It’s pretty much official that it will be 64 teams. After the success of this World Cup I don’t see it not happening. I’m happy that it will make it easier for some European teams because it’s very difficult to qualify through there, teams like Hungary, Italy, Serbia, Wales, Poland etc I think can all compete at the World Cup given the chance.
