Okay, you make a good argument; it is about striking a balance between the many interests, right? Furthermore, the players' point of view must be taken into account. But let's be rationally skeptical for a second. The majority of players' pay comes from their clubs, yet there is no greater honor than playing for your country in the FIFA World Cup. No self-respecting athlete would risk that recognition for the sake of a few extra club games. This brings up an intriguing debate. The FIFA Confederations Cup and other regional tournaments may be perceived as watering down the prestige of the World Cup and the European Championship. However, they also help find and develop promising new talent. Spreading out these competitions over a longer period of time might help keep the World Cup's level of interest and enthusiasm high.
Well.. I don't want to change the current setup. Right now, the world cup is being played every 4 years, and most of the regional competitions are being played with shorter intervals. This should continue IMO. I am a big supporter of the expansion of the FIFA World Cup to 48 countries, and I am of the opinion that it will further popularize football. But any attempt to reduce the interval between two events to two years need to be opposed. In this case, I agree with the clubs. Playing world cup every two years may prove counterproductive.
And I think of something, if FIFA is so interested in holding a World Cup every year, it's not the right thing to do, it's too soon, I think it would take away a lot of interest, it's that in a World Cup things practically become even and they start to look impressing, If FIFA wants to reduce the time, I think that 2 years is still a very short time, the most that things could do in the earlier World Cup would be an interval not of 4 but of 3 years, which seems somewhat more rational to me, given It is more opportune that the teams continue to prepare well and that way the public does not get tired of a magnificent event like this, because personally, I would like a World Cup every 2 years, but even so , it is how soon the qualifiers would be something very violent, and they can get even more complicated with tournaments like the Euro, Cop America, among others.
Personally, my Venezuela would like to see it in a World Cup, I would also like to see India in a World Cup, they are teams that play interesting football, but have not yet been in shape to arrive, I hope that this World Cup in the USA, Mexico and Canada can achieve it, but they still have to work very hard, at least in South America the teams are very strong, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, Colombia, they are very football-loving countries and they are also very strong with players who mostly play for recognized teams in Europe.
LOL.. If Venezuela was playing in any other confederation, then they would have been a regular participant in the world cup. Unfortunately for them, they play in the toughest confederation (CONMEBOL), and therefore always always miss out on the qualification. This is why I was in favor of selecting a few teams from a second round of qualifier, which would include teams from different confederations (I am not taking about the inter-continental playoffs). Now coming to China and India, I think the only possible way to get them included in the world cup might be through qualification as hosts.
What can I tell you, you're absolutely right, the best way to qualify for the World Cup in this part of the continent is to be for Concacaf where Mexico is the most dominant, of course the USA among others, but I think that Concacaf are the ones with the most options to go to the World Cup, any team from Central America has a good chance of going to the World Cup, on the other hand, I think that Venezuela should earn that spot, because it doesn't make sense to go to a World Cup without going through the tremendous filter of the toughest countries s from South America, then going to a World Cup to lose in the first round and almost making a fool of yourself is not the way, because if you play a team like Germany, England, or France, that would be like completely going through a steamroller.
Now if they don't go to the next World Cup, it's because they really are very bad, and that can't be denied, things must be said as they are, to go to a World Cup you need to be the best of the best, there are teams that come in with a very low performance and leave at once, it's not the idea either, the good thing is that they can play a good role, more than ucnaod is a debut, but I am particularly intrigued how these countries can do it, as I said before India intrigues me, I see that it has Soccer has grown there, and another team that I would like to see is the Philippines.
I think that we, who are great soccer fans, would not like an event like this to take place every year or every 2 years, I think that the longest I would put up with it being brought forward would be every 3 years, it seems good to me, because in 2 years we can do the qualifying rounds, and also now it is becoming more interesting because more slots for the World Cup have opened up and this makes things more interesting, especially for the teams of nations that have never been to a World Cup.
The faster and the major tournament that also involves many participants is held, it is very likely that the quality of the match will decrease because the players are also quite busy with the match schedule at their respective clubs and the possibility for players to get injured during the World Cup match can be detrimental to the club while the players get a salary from the club and what is no less can reduce the quality of the organization, namely the preparation of the host country will be reduced so that it can make the quality of the location used to be according, so there should be no changes regarding the time in organizing the world cup.
Personally, my Venezuela would like to see it in a World Cup, I would also like to see India in a World Cup, they are teams that play interesting football, but have not yet been in shape to arrive, I hope that this World Cup in the USA, Mexico and Canada can achieve it, but they still have to work very hard, at least in South America the teams are very strong, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, Colombia, they are very football-loving countries and they are also very strong with players who mostly play for recognized teams in Europe.
Often these teams like India are only strong or show something interesting under certain circumstances but when they have to compete against teams that often appear in the world cup the situation changes and the matches become unbalanced, this happens because the teams that usually play in the World Cup have experience that can be used as capital and also the draw is very profitable for them compared to teams that only occasionally or have just entered the World Cup, but it does not rule out the possibility of these teams making surprises like what teams from Africa usually do, their appearance is often eagerly awaited because they often become a threat to strong teams.
Indeed, when there is a World Cup, the players do not have rest, even if they play in the league they play, they have a great performance, some come very tired and in the case of the last World Cup almost all the players were very tired, and of course that obviously influences a lot, because the games in leagues like the European one are very demanding, but this is what makes a World Cup special, so that they give their all.
Now, it is as you say, countries like these that are sometimes not so well known, well I would like them to be able to qualify, because they have every right to go to a World Cup, it may be that they grow a lot and can do things better, there are teams that when they go to a World Cup they believe it and play with their soul, so it would not be bad, if they do it badly, well, they simply lose, at most with a landslide, but hey, these things have happened even to the most difficult teams. strong in the world.
