FIFA 2026 WC - general

[Monoethnic Social Club]

I've found a lot of the recent calls marked as controversial to actually be correct and acceptable.

Agreed... VAR used correctly, as soul destroyingly tedious as it may be...

Security, get this man out of the building please.

No point in qualifiers anymore, everyone gets a participation award.

hopefully the prick isnt in power by the time this happens / gets approved.

Suicide?

The authorities in Cape Town are yet to confirm but that’s the circulating belief.

Fucking beauty.

Now can we also have the following to enable us a more "american experience".

5 ah-fence interchange per game. 1 more for extra time. NFL

5 dee-fence interchange per game. 1 more for extra time. NFL

2 designated players that can play at 10 minute (12v11 powerplays) part MLB part NHL

Quarter time and three quarter time. NBA

Countdown clock. NBA

Two referees on field at all times. NFL, MLB,NHL and NBA.

A masked player who could be either a face or a heel and can score a goal for either team, create a foul for either team and is allowed to double chicken wing suplex any player they want. WWE

Im sure that I could think of more stupidity to recommend to infangulo and his team of corporate thieves.

1 goalkeeper for 18 yard box another goalkeeper for teams half to 18 yard box. Only allowed to handle the ball 1 per minute. Countdown timer and you know that the reserve goalkeeper gets lonely on the bench so we have to give them participation.

Fuck me. This slime ball is pathetic.

I hear the Brazilians are very annoyed that people from all over the world think Infantino is Brazilian, because he is a bald c#&t.

How would the spots be dished out in a 64-team World Cup? How many spots for each confederation?

Double the 32 world cup, surely? I have done essentially that (Which left 5, so I added one extra to the smaller confederations), with hosts to come from the confederation allotment

Asia 10 direct
Africa 11 direct (including 1 host for 2030)
North America 7 direct
South America 8 direct (including 3 hosts for 2030)
Oceania 1 direct
Europe 26 direct (including 2 hosts for 2030)

Then that leaves 1 playoff spot - so could theoretically do a CONCACAF/CAF/OFC/AFC playoff spot for the final place.
