we can't understand why a team like the European champions can't qualify for the world cup

I suppose the answer is that for a World Cup of 32 nations to truly be a World Cup, it can't just have the best 32 nations. It has to have representatives from all around the world. If it was just the best 32 nations, then no doubt Italy would be there... but Italy's gain would be the tournament's loss, because a best 32 World Cup would be mostly European, with a few South American nations, and maybe a couple from elsewhere.

The thing that makes a World Cup so great is that there are teams from everywhere, and a decent number of them, not just one token team from Africa, for example, but many.

And this also makes qualification more exciting. If most European nations qualified, then there'd be little sense of jeopardy in the qualification process. Far better to have limited spaces available.

Italy's absence from the 32 contestants who will take part in Qatar's 4th annual event this year is indeed a surprise to many, but that is football which is full of drama and surprises, especially since Italy was the European champion last season but they failed to qualify for the second world cup. after previously they also failed to qualify for the Russian world cup, this is also very disappointing for the Italian public but every match and also football provides drama and also a disappointment for their respective supporters.the world cup is not only represented by the European continent but almost all The world also participates in the 4th annual event but Italy's failure to qualify may be a disappointment for football lovers considering that Italy has a pretty good history in the world cup event.

There are a few teams missing out. Russia and Italy are missing from UEFA, Chile from CONMEBOL and Nigeria from the CAF. Unfortunately world cup only have 32 slots and one or two of the best teams miss out during qualification every time. Anyway, the chances will be lower for 2026 edition, as the number of participants is going up from 32 to 48. But the increase is mostly coming from AFC and CAF, so we may still witness a few of the good teams from Europe and South America failing to qualify for the main tournament.

I think it's better when a couple of strong teams miss the tournament due to the high level of competition than when the tournament turns into a huge number of meaningless games (due to a large difference in the teams' classes) and interesting games can only be expected in the 1/4 finals. Even in the current tournament, the group stage will not be very interesting, and in the next one everything will be much worse.

I think the world cup event will always be interesting even though sometimes the big teams or the top teams are absent at this moment, but there are still many other top teams that make the world cup event always interesting. The absence of one or two seeded teams does not mean that the world cup will be unattractive, because this is an event every four years and becomes a biennial event which will of course always be an event to look forward to. Because with an event like this there will also be a lot of talented players popping up although indeed, when we idolize a team that is not part of the world cup, then at least it will be boring but in the end we will still watch the game.

Argentina's last championship in the World Cup was in 1986. By saying this I would like to bring the topic to Messi's not winning any World Cup with his national team yet. When it comes to whether he deserves a World Cup championship I'd say that he definitely deserves with his own performance. He has tried his best so far to carry Argentina to successes. Their closest moment to the championship was in the 2014 finale but Germany defeated them by 1-0. Messi must be still targeting to win a World Cup before his retirement and they don't have a small chance in this one.

One big difference between Maradona's era and the current era is the level of professionalism. It was far easier back in the 80s for one exceptional player to carry a team, as Maradona did particularly in Italia 90. Nowadays teams are a lot more professional, with better tactics, better fitness etc... and it's tougher even for the best player in the world to make the same difference. Messi is certainly at the Maradona level, it's just that the opposition has improved.

I definitely agree at that point. Football has changed compared to those times on a large scale. I also believe that Messi is as skilled as Maradona however his job is much tougher. He has got quite old too which makes things a little more difficult for him. Argentina will need to make a huge effort like they have never done before. It isn't impossible for them to make it again after a very long break. They just need to believe in themselves first and go for it. Messi also wouldn't like to carry the team only by himself.

Yeah, there will be more countries playing in 2026, but the whole tournament will be structured in a different way.

We'll see how it goes, but I'm not sure bringing more countries is always a good thing. The World Cup is the highest level of football in the world, so there's a minimum of skill expected.

I guess bringing more countries bring more money as well, but that's another story...

Can't agree with you. Even with 32 teams, there will be a lot of mismatches. What do you really expect, when Saudi Arabia plays against Argentina, or when Cameroon plays against Brazil? Adding more teams would mean more diversity. Anyway, the real competition will start from the PQF stage onwards. I wholeheartedly support the decision from FIFA to expand the world cup. If they had implemented it in 2022, then teams such as Italy and Chile would have been able to qualify, along with New Zealand.

I'm still in shock how we can't see Italy in this tournament. They were just eliminated by North Macedonia and couldn't even fight for their World Cup ticket against Portugal in the last round of the qualification. This is definitely unacceptable for me. Because Italy have a wonderful squad normally. They were the champions of the Euro 2020 too. A team like this shouldn't even struggle against a team like North Macedonia. I would have really liked to see them here.

This is not the first time they have failed because in 2018 they did the same thing and failed to go to Russia at that time.
Actually there is nothing wrong with Italy but indeed they are a big team and with above average quality players which makes them overconfident and this is the second period they have failed and interestingly they failed towards the end. It's a shame but we can't do much because from an individual point of view they were good but from a team perspective they were lacking and they failed.

we can't understand why a team like the European champions can't qualify for the world cup, this failure repeats the 2018 edition of the Russian world cup where Italy also failed to qualify for the finals in 2018, of course this is a disappointing result considering the last match when they faced Switzerland where Jorginho's penalty bounced over the crossbar so that they had to go through the play-offs.but in a surprise flyover they lost to North Macedonia so Italy had to re-impair their dream of playing in this year's Qatar world cup, even though there is absolutely nothing wrong with being as strong as Italy, exactly the same as when they won the European cup one year earlier, but Dewi Fortuna has not sided with the pizza nation so that they failed to qualify again this year

this is football, a lot of unexpected things happen, italy there is no regeneration of players and currently in their team there are a lot of old players, i think their failure is not surprising. In almost every World Paila event, the favorite team failed in qualifying.
despite their achievements that can win the EURO 2020 title but in terms of performance and also the composition of the players, italy is still very far behind the other favorite teams in the world cup Qatar.

FIFA World cup 2022 will be interesting. It will be like a thug of war. Just that my favourite club, Nigerian
Super Eagle has been nocked out in the Qatar qualifiers stage. But i am still hoping to support another club (Country) in the tournament. Preferably, African club, but what I am afraid of is the referees. World cup referees are not friendly with the African Teams. That not withstanding, fair play can bring out the best in the world cup. European clubs, Asian clubs and African clubs are my prediction to win the world cup.
On your own prediction, whom do you think will win the tournament and carry the Golden Cup? Remember every country's plan is to win the world cup tournament but not every team will win and the three (3) best will be selected. And that should be:

1st winner
2nd winner and
3rd Winner.

Say your mind.

It’s sad one of the team with the best players currently in Africa won’t be playing in the 2022 World Cup. Nigeria has a lot of good players that are doing very well in their respective club outside the country. But its unfortunate they didn’t get a slot to represent the nation. In this World Cup, I am bidding for Senegal to go far in the tournament. There outstanding performance during the qualification has proven they are ready to fight for the cup.
Portugal and Brazil are also favourites teams that can win top 3 in the World Cup this year.

Well, as for the African countries, Nigeria is very outstanding, because we are used to seeing Nigerians show colorful football, but we cannot underestimate Ghana, it is a very complete team, as it appears this time the World Cup qualifiers went very well and was at the level, I know that we all always say some teams that are considered very strong and it is something normal, because of history we know that there are powerful countries in football, but we cannot conclude that all the 32 countries that are in the World Cup are deserving and yes qualified have the skills and skills worthy for any team to win, this World Cup will be very interesting.

On the one hand, you are right about Italy, on the other hand, as we see from the Nations League tournament, everything depends on the motivation and attitude of the teams. If the teams are not too interested in the tournament, then there are no favorites or outsiders and everyone has a chance. Given that this World Cup will be held in the middle of the season, I don't know how this will affect the motivation of the teams.
Different regions of the planet have a different history of priorities in sports. I don't remember non-Asian Go world champions or any non-US baseball super teams.

This issue is being raised again and again. IMO, we should not give preference to club football over international football. If the clubs are having that much problem with the world cup being scheduled during the season, then the FIFA should move towards cancelling the club competitions for this year. How dare these guys can ask FIFA to reschedule the world cup? COVID caused a lot of scheduling issues and clubs should understand that. If they can't adjust their calendar, then they can go ahead with the matches, albeit without the international players.

It is clear that with some of them you will guess success, but even mathematically it is clear that all of them cannot reach the final and even the semi-finals. Someone will definitely be eliminated in the earlier stages and it turns out that their performance will be a failure. At the same time, I do not argue with the fact that the team can be very good, but this does not guarantee success.

If Italy was there in the world cup, they would have been one of the favorites. But they couldn't even qualify. All the 9 teams named by nullama are either from CONMEBOL or UEFA. It is sad that other confederations are taking part only to fill their numbers. And for OFC, this time there will be no representation, after New Zealand lost the playoff match to Costa Rica. Time for the Asian, African, North American and Oceanian teams to do introspection. Why they are not in the contention? And don't forget the fact that Asia is manytimes more populous than Europe and South America combined.

France has a really good chance of winning the world cup again, they have a stacked team. France's national team is basically like any fantasy football team. it doesn't get any better than this at the international level. I honestly think France has a really good chance to win the world cup unless something really bad happens as it happened with Germany and Spain after the 2018 and 2014 world Cups. I think that is not going to happen this time because we haven't had any kind of problems like that in the France national team.

In terms of player strength, it is clear that France is still one of the leading players, but if we look at their current performance in the League of Nations, although many say this is not too serious and not a benchmark, it is quite clear that their readiness is lacking and I feel they are still good enough. bad from attack schemes and strategies.
It would be better if they prepared better to become more solid. Because it would be a shame if the star players there were only decorations for the world cup.

This means that the final for the World Cup 2022 can actually be Brazil vs Argentina, both teams have been defeated zero times so far.

The current situation is different, you are too sure Brazil vs Argentina will go to the final, the match hasn't even started yet how do you say that, what if the opposite happened, brazil vs argentina did not enter the final this time, I'm sure they will stay away.
What if the next world cup in Qatar 2022, which entered the final was taken by France vs. England, for the Brazil vs Argentina team no, are you sure about that, I'm not sure myself, I think the situation is reversed this time, don't rely on the last Euro 2020, that's a different story, their world cup has the best players, all countries want to do whatever it takes to win the world cup, on the field will prove the problem of the semi-finals and finals of the 2022 world cup.

Forgive my ignorance, but since we are talking again about the vacancies by continents for the world cup, allow me to ask...
Currently the criteria for deciding the number of teams is based on the number of countries in each continent, is it based on its population or is there some other criterion for this?
I'm sure Europe and America are the continents that could contribute with the best players, but this is obviously not the criterion chosen by FIFA, what would it be?
