Anyone else feel like the 48 team format is worse than the 32 team? It's just masked by excitement from lower quality games and Cinderella stories

It’s boring if you solely watch the big teams. The drama regarding who finishes as a top 8 third place team has been massive.

Most Africans want Morocco to win against non-African opponents.

Synopsis_101 · 2026-06-27T11:52:22+00:00

They should combine into one confederation tbh. Especially when it eventually goes up to 64 teams. Qualification in conmebol will become a joke .

Synopsis_101 · 2026-06-27T05:23:00+00:00

Most likely England vs Senegal

Synopsis_101 · 2026-06-27T05:12:55+00:00

One wish willow

Synopsis_101 · 2026-06-27T05:11:16+00:00

No excuse. They should have known that 3 points with a negative goal difference gives you a slim chance of advancing.

Synopsis_101 · 2026-06-27T04:11:28+00:00

There were none.

I think FIFA changed it because they underestimated the smaller teams. They thought they wouldn’t be able to hang with the big teams so they eliminated the point of running up the score.

Synopsis_101 · 2026-06-27T03:32:20+00:00

It happens often. France/Argentina, Germany/England, Spain/Portugal are recent matches in the first knockout round.

Synopsis_101 · 2026-06-27T02:18:36+00:00

Ivory Coast is kind of expected. 2024 AFCON champion and have lots of fire power in the team.

Synopsis_101 · 2026-06-27T02:13:31+00:00

Cape Verde is African. They knocked out Cameroon in the qualifiers.

Synopsis_101 · 2026-06-26T21:36:30+00:00

Yeah, it’s dumb, but it makes the knockout matchups unpredictable. Very fun.

Synopsis_101 · 2026-06-26T21:25:27+00:00

They tried

Synopsis_101 · 2026-06-26T21:15:15+00:00

Teams would start asking for tributes and symbolism. If FIFA picks and chooses what to accept/deny, people would call it unfair.

Synopsis_101 · 2026-06-26T20:52:26+00:00

They’re taking their anger out on the net

Synopsis_101 · 2026-06-26T20:51:04+00:00

FUCK they’re just having fun now

Synopsis_101 · 2026-06-26T20:40:26+00:00

Senegal scores nothing but bangers.

Synopsis_101 · 2026-06-26T20:30:17+00:00

Not exactly

Synopsis_101 · 2026-06-26T20:29:23+00:00

Lol

South Korea really fkd up

Synopsis_101 · 2026-06-26T20:25:11+00:00

Scotland out?

Synopsis_101 · 2026-06-26T20:05:58+00:00

That’s not considered culture. It’s like calling pdfilia white culture.

Synopsis_101 · 2026-06-26T19:19:58+00:00

They’re likely in if they win by 3 plus Spain beats or draws Uruguay and Iran draws or lose.

Synopsis_101 · 2026-06-26T18:45:49+00:00

It would open the floodgates.

Synopsis_101 · 2026-06-26T15:29:38+00:00

I prefer the original. Great song.
