I can't wait to see what the Panamanians will do if this passes

I want to keep the number at 32
I like how he wants to distribute FIFA's cash to develop grass roots football. However lots of oversight would be needed to prevent corruption
I hate that he wants to bring back the old offside rule

I like his ideas. I think the current iteration of the WC is too eurocentric. It just seems sad to me that a continent that makes up less than 11 percent of the world's population gets more than a third of the total spots at the World Cup. Yeah, Europe has a larger number of talented teams than any other federation, but why not give Africa or Asia more spots? I think CONCACAF could use another team, too. It's the World Cup after all.

Yeah, I'd be OK with 40....I don't think I'd want to see 2 tournaments played simultaneously though.

Problem is Asia and Africa are utter shite come WC time. Heck CONCACAF ain't too far behind up on shite Creek.

All teams are in the World Cup.
You are referring to the World Cup finals.

Sigh. No shite , Sherlock. You know what the hell we are talking about.

So basically you want worse teams to make the finals because you don't like one particular geographic region? 
how sporting of you.
The best soccer in the world comes from Europe and, with the exception of a couple of South American countries, it's by a pretty wide margin. Deal with it.

Expanding the field waters down the competition. One reason I love the Euros. Besides a shitty host nation it is a fricking brilliant tournament. Outside of Europe who really has a chance to win? Brazil or Argentina, perhaps Uruguay or Colombia. No team from Asia is ever going to win. The USA will win before that happens. Africa is a fricking joke. They will never win one.
