I loved that one, those eastern European teams coming through, and the Romario / Bebeto partnership for Brazil. ...even though we didnt qualify, it was good. Followed the ROI instead. |  |

| Blimey on 16:50 - Jul 30 by Mark | We need qualifiers, but because they are expanding the World Cup so much it makes it easier to qualify so matches have less jeopardy. We should scrap the Nations' League instead. Great news someone is standing up to FIFA at last. |
It seemed like the first 3 weeks of the WC was qualifiers!! |  |

"The lead investor in the subsidiary - to be called FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE) - is Joshua Kushner, the brother of Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner". What a surprise ... |  |

How is Infantino still in post ? After the Trump WC debacle, Ronaldo/Messi red card avoidance and now this he has to go surely. |  |

Lionesses involved in the European qualification play offs for Brazil 27 in October. Assume these are cancelled unless Infantino backs down. |  |

Fifa ‘world cup’ going to end up as the USA’s ‘world series football championship’ with only themselves + maybe Argentina competing innit. Fingers crossed … |  |

It's time for multiple World Champions in Football, and we can unify when the Trumpian generation of fckwits has died. |  | |  |

This is so definitely a deal made with USA administration that has been months / years in the making , if you read deeper into this the investment funds are lined up and paperwork is in place- trying to force through short timescales with threats. If it was for the good of the game they would auction the new structure to the highest bidder for a period and probably go to Middle East control rather than American. How much will he pocket himself if this goes through and Football sorry Soccer is bought by the USA |  | |  |

To be fair, UEFA is incredibly rich compared to counterparts in Africa, SEA etc. $40m is chump change to UEFA but could be a massive investment for smaller nations. |  |

Not all of South America, surely... We can make an exception for the team who have a tantrum and start punching people when they get knocked out of tournaments. Argentina can play in the Trump Cup with USA. |  | |  |

Can’t really see any option other than having qualifying matches for the World Cup or the Euros, though. The tedious friendlies and this nations league nonsense are overkill though and I loathe those 12 day international breaks where one match is often just a pointless friendly with fringe players and those who couldn’t get a sick note from Arteta or Pep. Just play the qualifiers on a weekday like they used to, although I guess the problem nowadays is the South American WC qualifiers, with so many of their players involved in Europe’s top divisions now. |  |
