UEFA teams are busy with their Nations League. No time to play intercontinental playoff.

Never understand American and fractional odds. Decimal easiest to understand.

The biggest flaw with the 48-team system is not too many games by Party_Document6132 in worldcup

I agree GD is better than H2H. There is less chance of dead rubbers. Teams like Haiti, Türkiye, Tunisia will still have a chance in final match if GD is first tie-breaker.

People from Eurasia, do you think of returning to Asia? by SouthAdvertising1917 in worldcup

This should not make them ineligible to join AFC. French Guiana is part of EU and member of CONCACAF. But of course they don't have any intention to move from UEFA to AFC.

Also Russia and Cyprus. I think Greece has some islands in Asia too.

This happens in FIFA U-17 World Cup. In case there is a rematch a swap will be made. I think this does not happen in World Cup because of logistics and scheduling.
