FIFA World Cup Qualifying Rant

Rant on how the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifying System could be improved! Bottom line: we need more UEFA Teams and less AFC Teams! Do you agree or disagree?

I really disagree with this, football needs to balance development and entertainment. If FIFA gives more spot to UEFA by taking spots from other confed, while it will be more entertaining in the short run, it will get boring in the long run, football will only get more europe-centric than it already is because european teams would just get more exposure and experience than teams from the other confeds. The World Cup is the biggest sporting event in the world right now, and the more exposure smaller teams get will result in better development and interests those nations gets. What FIFA is doing right now is trying to find that middle ground so that weaker nations still get chance to develop but still maintaining that entertainment factor from watching the best players from the best nations compete for the trophy

I really appreciate this comment. Maybe the compromise is a few more inter-continental playoff spots?? Just feel like there's a way we can give opportunities to all without having so many duds at the World Cup finals

as someone who grew up watching the sport I heavily disagree I think that the way fifa has done it is fine I think they overdid it on South America based on their current teams but it's okay

Didn't Gareth Bale retire

[@snowmansportsmedia]

Lol yeah, it was more about the concept

Everyone keeps on saying that Wales as well as Serbia and Ukraine is a good team, but Gareth Bale is the only good player but even then, he's not that good
