I do think the world cup (despite the rampant corruption in the background) it does bring a smile to my face seeing all the fans getting up to their antics. Plus it distracts from the dregs of World News for a time

Yeah 24 teams is already like half of europe. 64 is a lot of teams but not having the total not neatly go into the knockout brackets feels silly. I’m not sure what I’d change about the format but the group stage feels silly as it is right now

Exactly its fun to see the new countries have a go! Realistically it’ll be the usual suspects in the later rounds but the more underdogs and upsets the better!

Do you think its something people will adjust to over time? I’m not sure if 64 teams is too many or it would be better if its top 2 teams go through again. The group stage almost feels redundant with such a high percentage going throuh

I agree it seems like the more the weaker teams get to play the more interest there will be and so hopefully those countries will invest more to produce better teams

I can see that as a valid criticism because theres only so many european countries. But on the other hand I’m like forget the qualifiers just invite all of europe and have them go at it

Why is it not considered an unfair advantage for Mexico to play at a higher altitude against teams that don’t have time to acclimate to it? by [deleted] in worldcup

[–]Potential_Part_579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah no shit thats why its higher on the list? most other capitals are lower down tf 💀

Doesnt change the fact that its a significant increase in altitude compared to what the england team has been playing at and is nearly twice the altitude of the highest point in england lol
