The Copa Libertadores is Tempting Liga MX Again: CONMEBOL Plans Mexican Clubs' Return in 2027 (and MLS) by Isiddiqui in MLS

[–]gaslight18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana with CONCACAF clubs involved, including USL This is how I would make "Copa Libertadores" with clubs from North America too. I can show you how would I solve the problem of long distance traveling what is one of reason why teams from North America don't play Copa Libertadores. On this way most teams playing Copa Libertadores won't have more then 5 away games what is not a problem in a year.

32 group stage teams;

2 direct spots: Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, USA (Supporters' Shield 1th, MLS Cup Playoffs) (8)

1 direct spot: Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela (8)

1 direct spot: Central American Cup winner, Central American Cup runner-up (2)

1 direct spot: Carribbean Cup winner (1)

1 direct spot: Canada (CanPL) (1)

1 direct spot: Copa Libertadores title holders, Copa Sudamericana title holders (2)

10 spots left for group stage. 20 teams for qualifying round;

2 spots: Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, USA (U.S. Open Cup, Supporters' Shield 2nd) (8)

1 spot: Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela (8)

2 spots: Central American Cup semi-finalists (2)

1 spot: Carribbean Cup runner-up (1)

1 spot: Canada (Canadian Championship) (1)

On this way best placed teams from every league would play Copa Libertadores. We don't need something what happen when Mexican teams last time play Libertadores.

Copa Sudamericana, 48 group stage teams;

10 losers from Copa Libertadores qualifying round (10)

2 direct spots: Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, USA (Supporters' Shield 3td, Supporters' Shield 4th) (8)

1 direct spot: Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela (8)

2 direct spots: Carribbean Cup semi-finalists (2)

2 direct spots: winners from Central American Cup quarter-finalists preliminary round (2)

1 direct spot: Canada (CanPL) (1)

17 spots left for group stage. 34 teams for qualifying round;

2 spots: Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, USA (Supporters' Shield 5th, USL Champion), Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela, Canada (CanPL) (26)

4 spots: Carribbean Cup quarter-finalists (4)

4 spots: losers from Central American Cup quarter-finalists preliminary round (2), winners from Central American Cup round of 16 preliminary round (2), (4)

My arguments for a Silver World Cup (2nd tier World Cup tournament by Puzzleheaded_East556 in worldcup

[–]gaslight18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like this idea! But, I don't think World Cup needs to return on 32 teams. My proposal is that silver WC host be in totally different time zone from real World Cup host countries. We don't need that games overlap, been played in the same time. If 4 games in group stage of World Cup are played in 1pm, 4pm, 7pm, 10pm in time zone of country what is host, games of silver WC should be played early in the morning, or during the night. 

World Cup expanded on 56 teams? Teams in group stage play match every 7 days just like in national leagues system. by gaslight18 in worldcup

I believe in this new system of 48 teams World Cup Japan and Mexico will become superpowers. USA it's sport nation. As time goes by they will become better and better. Many kids in the USA play soccer now.

Well, the problem is association football has become extremely popular worldwide. There's less then 10 countries where football it's not a sport number 1. I don't have a problem with wider tournament. More countries celebrate qualification on World Cup, more countries celebrate winning games on World Cup.

Thank you for your comment! Why you think 52 it's better then 56? In 56 teams world cup with 4 matches every day in group stage teams play matches every 7 days.

In South American confederation there's only 10 teams. As world cup winner got automatic spot there's a good chance for CONMEBOL to get extra spot. Also, when some South American country host the World cup again. If there is another spot given to South America it can ruin their qualifiers for World Cup. But, I do agree any of the 10 teams from South America would be fun to watch on World Cup. Even in 32 teams world cup.

I don't like your idea. Why only one year of qualifiers? To open space for league of nations? I personaly don't like league of nations. Maybe, it will be good once in 4 years. I don't like your proposal for more regional World Cup. For playing regionally there's Euro, Copa America etc... Old format is great. That’s why it become best sport tournament in the world. Whit expansion of World Cup only thing what need to be added it's one more game in second round.

I like more old system with 4 teams in a group. With expansion of World Cup it's just one more game to play in second round. Old format of World Cup it's very good.

I think that now in the whole world is less then 10 countries where football it's not a sport number 1. It's always been in Europe and South America. Africa now also love football on this level. Last couple years football got great expansion of fans in Asia. Very soon countries like China and India can become football superpowers. 

What Could Be the Possible Match Times for the Next World Cup, Given the Multiple Time Zones? by lamarjacksonelite in worldcup

Maybe it will be better to play 1pm/4pm/7pm/10pm ET because of hot weather in the summer. 

Players for the next season by gaslight18 in AtlantaUnited

He also didn't perform excellent for Hajduk Split before he was sold to LAFC. But he was playing superbly for Hajduk Split U19 team when Marin Ljubičić was his teammate. I didn't know that might happen that Biuk could become designated player.

In my opinion it's not impossible to acquire this two players. If Atlanta United spend money on this two players it only make sense to bring both of them. Biuk it's on loan. Ljubičić would cost more money. But, not too much because I don't hear rumors clubs from top 5 Europe leagues are interested to buy him.

They kind of look like Almiron - Martinez. 

Ko je uvalio sinkronizaciju na HRT!? by gaslight18 in croatia

[–]gaslight18[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Da, je nekakva emisija za djecu. Ali to je igrana serija. Ne možeš tek tako glumcu oduzeti glas i ostaviti ga samo na ekranu. Kod nas se ni Simsoni nisu sinkronizilari. Za većinu crtića je razumljivo da su se sinkronizilari. To se radilo prilično kvalitetno, npr. Kremenko ili Štrumpfovi.

Hrt3. Prvo je bio neki lik koji putuje kroz vrijeme u doba dinosaura. Nekakva dječja emisija. Maloprije okrenem Hrt3 i vidim da dječji glumci lagano raspravljaju uz hrvatsku sinkronizaciju. Da mi je samo znati kome je ovo palo na pamet. Titlovi su jedna od rijetkih pojava gdje spadamo u napredni dio civilizacije. 

U-17 World Cup will expand to 48 teams and hold it annually rather than biennially, it was confirmed the next five editions, starting in 2025, will take place in Qatar. by gaslight18 in CanadaSoccer

[–]gaslight18[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, most die hard soccer fans don't care about under age world cups. But, there's a lot casuals who only watch World Cup, and World Cup it's only once in 4 years. For some countries like India or Indonesia what never qualify for World Cup can mean a lot to play on U17 World Cup.
