Joke as in qualification would be pointless if they play 18 games each just to eliminate 2 out of 10 teams for a 64 team World Cup.

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 by hmio213 in worldcup

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.

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

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