FIFA scraps plans for 48-team World Cup in 2022

I never thought it was likely that they'd go to 48 in Qatar.

I do like the idea of more countries getting to the world cup but 32 is the perfect size for a tournament. The three teams to a group plan for 2026 is going to cause issues.

Good.

Are they still letting Qatar have this in December 2022?

no one wants to see teams that low play in a wc anyway but since bribes are no longer celebrated got to make up that extra cash somehow.....

As of now yes. I for one hope the hooligans from the various countries band together and rip the shit out the place.

It’s going to screw so many leagues ups. The EPL will basically have to start in June to make up for the 2 month absence that this thing being played in winter will cause. That or go longer at the end of the season.
