What i was almost certain was too shiny of a hook turned into a pretty quality troll. I'd give it a solid 8/10 since you even had guys like sheep bite hard.

My big issue with FIFA voting is that it's essentially controlled by our faulty nation-state system. Every member of FIFA--including members that aren't even sovereign countries--have one vote in FIFA elections. As you correctly put it, Africa which has something like 52 countries, can control every election if its members vote as a block. Spoiler alert: it always votes as a block. Asia also has a ton of nation-state members, which can lead to vote brigading on its part.
I always felt that votes in FIFA elections should be determined by the relative strength of a country's national teams. Votes could easily be given out proportionally by FIFA rankings of men's and women's national teams, or have some kind of coefficient ranking like UEFA uses for Champions League places.

What an asinine number of spots for everyone other than Europe.
Concacaf with more spots than South America and Europe just gets three additional slots.
Only bright spot is expanding to so many teams helps the US hopes of hosting. Will probably see more countries go in together for bids.
Assume we'd see stuff like a North American cup where US, Canada, and Mexico host together.

Infantino is worse than Blatter. As bad as Blatter was, even he wasn't greedy or incompetent enough to frick up the World Cup.

The US should just enter FIFA as 50 separate members. We'd have 50 teams to root for. Who's with me?
