The host nations and FIFA strive to make each World Cup tournament more attractive, resulting in tougher competition each season. The 2026 World Cup is going to be even more competitive than the 2022 World Cup was. We can see a lot of new things in the 2026 World Cup. In 2022 a lot of technology was used to make the tournament beautiful and accurate and in 2022 world cup but players and fans were happy with all the decisions but there were some wrong decisions due to penalty in last world cup tournament hopefully nothing like that will happen in 2026 world cup tournament. Argentina won the last World Cup from Latin America, so the European teams will definitely try to do well in the upcoming World Cup.

Undoubtedly things in Qatar were at another level, I honestly saw that they had a lot of criticism, but who doesn't criticize nowadays? If they don't like something, they don't say it for nothing, so for me these events are the best in the world because I like football a lot and each country that organizes it has the right to set its own rules because they are the owners of their countries, so the others have to adapt, those are the things that we must see, respect, abide by, it is something that must always be considered, that is why it is always good to see all points of view.

There is still plenty of time for Saudi Arabia to improve its national team. Right now, I think they still have to work hard to compete with teams in Asia. And to host the World Cup, they really have to improve the quality of their national team players.
They brought in many top European players to their league, some criticized that as the reason why their national team's performance is currently declining because their players don't get a place in the main squad at the club. It's different when you look at Japan, where most of their national team players actually play abroad and some come from the domestic league.
There is a lot to prepare, not only to be a host which will be extraordinary, but also with the hope that their national team will perform well.
I agree with you that bought too many European players into their league is really have negative impact for development of their national team because most of the players from the current squad of Saudi Arabia didn't gets much the opportunities to playing at their clubs because those clubs are more likely to played European players rather than the native players even Roberto Mancini has been complaining these situations because it will have any effect to Saudi Arabia performance

The latest proof from these situation is Saudi Arabia still unable to performing well at qualification stages even they had just lost from Indonesia which on the paper the strength of Indonesia is below to them and about Saudi Arabia long term project if we calculated it i think 10 years should be enough to build solid squad because if Saudi Arabia is really serious then starting from now they can be more focus to their youth players

The main problem isn't that they are filling up their teams with players from Europe or South America, their main problem is that they can't get their own national players to a level that European clubs want them. They need to invest more money into the people behind the team. The coaches and those who know how to make plans to build their own talents and how to support them to make the step to bigger clubs outside of Saudi Arabia. I don't know how much genetics play a role, but one fact of the matter is that South Americans are among the best footballers in the world although they probably don't have the best infrastructure and educational architecture. Every nation has a talent in a certain professional sport and to me it looks like Saudi Arabians are not made to become the best footballers in the world. There can of course be exceptions, but one exception is not enough to win a World Cup. One Haaland and one Odegaard is not enough to make Norway the next World Cup winner if you know what I mean.

During this week we got confirmation that Saudi Arabia will be hosting the 2034 FIFA World Cup (official announcement from FIFA just came a few hours ago). I am quite excited about this, as Saudi Arabia is making rapid strides in becoming a global sports hub. They are making giant investments in sports such as football, golf, F1, cricket and tennis. Also, if Qatar can host the 2022 edition, then Saudi Arabia has every right to host the 2034 edition. I am sure that this is going to be the most extravagant and thrilling world cup ever to happen.
It seems that we will all also witness the 2034 World Cup could be an edition that surpasses the 2022 Qatar World Cup, on the other hand Saudi Arabia will also get ticket to be able to directly participate in this prestigious event even though in the end they may also be the same as Qatar fate which is easily eliminated to fall faster.
But with all this will make the 2034 World Cup to always be remembered, Saudi Arabia can develop football better after that and maybe there will be many changes there later thanks to Saudi Arabia being chosen as the host.

The Fipro team of the year was released earlier today and since then, we've seen so many reactions from football fans across the globe in regards the names on the list. So people believes that they're are omitted names that should've made it into the first XI while others believe that the list is very accurate. Do you think this list of going to affect FIFA's decision when they'll release their own official team of the year during the Best awards? Let me get your thoughts.

Kevin De Bruyne is not performing well for Manchester City at the moment so if a World XI was made at this time I would definitely replace Kevin De Bruyne with Federico Valverde, or Casemiro. But those who made this World XI must have a better understanding than me and from that good understanding they made this XI so there is nothing to discuss or criticize about it. I only shared my personal opinion here. It's not like my personal opinion has to match other people's opinion.
It is true that Kevin De Bruyne is not performing well at the moment but he has contributed a lot for Manchester City in the past and has performed very well. That's probably why he was included in the World XI. I think the OP may not have mentioned why these players were given a chance in the World XI. In fact, the players named in this World XI were selected mainly by voting, as is done at the Ballon d'Or.

Visit the below mentioned link it clearly states that they have been given a chance in the World XI based on their performance from 21 August 2003 to 14 July 2024.

I guess it will be another winter shitty World Cup that break all calendar and many players.
2034 seems very far away and there is hope that players will somehow solve the issue with the overloaded calendar by then, but it still irritates me when things continue to be done that turned out to be very problematic and contradictory.

LOL.. at least it will be better than the 2022 edition, which was hosted by Qatar. I agree that it was a very shitty tournament. There were multiple concerns regarding violation of human rights for the migrant workers, who were involved in the construction of stadiums, ticket prices, prohibition of alcohol.etc. Some of these concerns are still valid for the Saudi Arabian tournament as well, but I am sure that Saudi authorities will take the necessary arrangements to resolve them in an amicable manner.

I also want to congratulate Saudi Arabia for confirming as the host of the 2034 World Cup. It's 10 years from now but it's not a long time for a country to prepare various facilities to host the World Cup. After Qatar in 2022 I think Saudi Arabia will also make the 2034 World Cup very grand and luxurious. We know that many Middle Eastern countries emphasize the aspect of luxury. And I also hope that there will be no much drama and controversy during the World Cup. As I recall, apart from the 2022 World Cup in Qatar which was full of controversy, when the 2002 World Cup was in South Korea and Japan we also saw a lot of controversy, especially South Korea which was the host at that time. And both were World Cups held in Asia.
Saudi Arabia will have enough time to prepare to host the World Cup in their country. It is definitely a very good decision of FIFA because even a few seasons ago it was like that the host country of the World Cup was either a European country or a Latin American country but FIFA managed to get out of that place. 
It has been confirmed that the 2022 World Cup will be held in Qatar and the 2034 World Cup will be held in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is a very advanced country and the way they have prepared for the World Cup goes without saying that the 2034 World Cup will undoubtedly be the best World Cup tournament out of all the others. 

Still 10 years to go and after these 10 years maybe we won't see many famous star players but sure it will be a great World Cup. Saudi Arabia will surprise the 2034 World Cup even more than Qatar surprised the world.

Did you notice how significant the FIFPro World 11 was this year?

I say this because for the first time since 2006, Lionel Messi is absent from the men's national team, which means that this must definitely put an end to his remarkable performance after a record 17 appearances.

I find this "award" very interesting, because unlike the FIFA awards that can be voted on by users, or the Ballon d'Or that is voted on by journalists, the FIFPro is voted on only by players, so these eleven players were honestly chosen by their own colleagues.

In my opinion, they should have chosen Lamine Yamal, Lewandowski and Vinicius Jr. for the attack because at the moment these players are doing well. I know that Haaland has managed to score many goals for Manchester City. But comparing Haaland with Lewandowski at the moment, I would say that Lewandowski is better. Also, if I were to compare Mbappe with Yamal at the moment, I would say that Yamal is better than Mbappe. There are many games in which Mbappe fails when he is close to the opposing goalkeeper, while Yamal manages to score goals from very difficult angles.

Do not be surprised that there will always be controversies and we all have to swallow it like that because there is nothing that can be done about that. This is an opportunity of hosting the biggest sport in the world and  many countries of the world are looking for such opportunity so they can showcase there culture and what they are made up off. There will always be complaints whatsoever. We ought to enjoy the fun and forget about the stress we might have undergone especially for those people that left their countries for the world venue. Now is Saudi Arabia turn to show the world there culture and what they are made up of in a grand style.

Many changes have occurred to the Indonesian national team in the World Cup qualifiers, although there are doubts that Indonesia will qualify, but this could become a reality in 2016. It would be good luck for Indonesia if they can win 2 matches out of the remaining four matches and they are guaranteed to qualify.
What I doubt is that the physical condition being so different from the opposing players will be an obstacle for them in scoring goals. China and Japan are strong teams. Indonesia's only two hopes are Australia and Bahrain. that's the place to look for points to ensure you pass the qualifications.
Well I say something, I am very positive, I think that if it is possible, everything is in giving everything on the field, that the players do not stay with nothing, even if they run out of strength after the game, but that they achieve it, that is what I think of the selection of my country, there is a lot of chance and it is worse for them, with Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, they must be beaten, I am aware that it is very difficult but not impossible, because I could not play since I was a child because they did not put me in a club, I am sure that I would have reached and been in that position no matter what, I would have reached to take my country to the World Cup, now the one who wants to do it is my 9 year old son, that is why I support him and I give him everything I can to Support him in his dream, that is how beautiful and hopeful football is, so Indonesia can do it.

Wasn't it already determined last year if I'm not mistaken and this has been linked by FIFIA, if this decision is final then congratulations to Saudi Arabia for hosting the 2034 World Cup, several major events will also be held there in my opinion it is an extraordinary thing for Saudi Arabia that they are really serious about sports, it will certainly be lively considering that Middle Eastern countries always prioritize luxury and splendor in anything, such as Qatar in 2022 ago but I hope there is no drama that harms other countries because we know that Middle Eastern countries always have controversial things that can harm the opposing team, such as in the Qatar World Cup last time there were many unexpected things in matches involving Middle Eastern countries.

All the countries you just mentioned now are all group leaders in the world cup qualifiers. Japan leads Group C, South Korea is the leader of tops Group B and Iran tops Group A. So there are every possibilities that they would qualify for the next round. Other countries that have the quality to make it to the fourth round is Uzbekistan, Iraq and Australia also could qualifier if they maintain their performance. But the most interesting group for me is Group C where almost all the nations have chances to come to the next round.
What you say is true, but in my opinion, besides Japan in group C, of course the team teams such as South Korea and Iran are still not safe at this time even though they are at the top of the standings, because with the remaining 5 matches available,everything can happen because the points they have are still likely to be caught up by the team team ranked 2, 3 and even 4, in contrast with Japan, which actually looks more able to dominate group C and even they only need 2 more wins at least to secure second place at the end of the qualification later.

The mentioned indeed have their very good chance of getting included in the list of qualifiers. But they should still work on it and not get too confident as one mistake can get them out of the game. They need to make sure they will get the slot within their confederation. So consistently winning is the key. But if not, as much as possible eliminate some of their weak opponents and be included in those allocated slots.
 And if they can win critical matches like their supposed strong opponents, I guess, they will have good assurance that they can be in the qualifying teams.
It will be interesting year next year for them, as we will see the strongest teams who can be on those list.
With the competition in each group running very tight at the moment, even each team is no longer allowed to slip in the remaining matches, because losing even 1 point will certainly make it more difficult for them to get a ticket to qualify, so the team that is able to appear stable and defeat strong opponents will have a greater chance of qualifying like you say

Just like you, besides Japan and Iran, I also see South Korea as a team that has a great chance of qualifying, because so far the performance they have shown is not much different from Japan, besides that, South Korea have a pretty great squad, with support by better experience in the world cup so far than other teams that are their rivals.
All the countries you just mentioned now are all group leaders in the world cup qualifiers. Japan leads Group C, South Korea is the leader of tops Group B and Iran tops Group A. So there are every possibilities that they would qualify for the next round. Other countries that have the quality to make it to the fourth round is Uzbekistan, Iraq and Australia also could qualifier if they maintain their performance. But the most interesting group for me is Group C where almost all the nations have chances to come to the next round.
Korea already have 14 points from 6 games and are currently sitting at the top of the group B so I think it's almost certain that they'll be among the teams that'll feature in the next FIFA World Cup same as Japan who will as well qualify.
What's surprising to me about the AFC FIFA World Cup qualifying table is the current position of Australia who has managed to garner just 7 points from 6 games and sits in the 2nd position of the group C. Australia is one of the best football nations from their region and should be struggling to qualify if you ask me
I think position of Australia national football team is not good because that team has only 7 points on the table and Japan football team is at the top in this group because Japan football team won most of the matches  and that team has highest points which are 16. Australia national football team played last match against Bahrain football team in which we saw draw match.In the group B of tournament FIFA World Cup Asian qualifiers South Korea national football team is at top because that team has 14 points on the table because that team won 4 matches and 2 matches were draw and below that team there is Jordan football team which played very well in this tournament and has 11 points on the table.

FIFA is a gang of corrupt people who do their dirty business. It doesn't matter what the exact details are, but I'm sure we'll see Messi on the FIFA list. This son of FIFA will probably continue to receive awards even after he retires  Grin
By the way, Inter Miami got a ticket to the Club World Cup only because Messi plays there. Ironically enough, Inter was knocked out in the first round of the MLS playoffs.
FIFA is one of the most powerful sports organization around the globe with having nearly 200 members and their available sources are also huge with now due to new format of FIFA World Cup their income is also going to increase, so things are surely going well for them, and we have no check and balance for them which is giving them huge advantage with they are doing things which are suitable for them and covering for their corruption as well.

Inter Miami entry into Club World Cup is surely joke but no one will be having any objection as Messi is blue eye son of FIFA so they will keep favouring him as things are happening in last few years we all know with no one can stand against them as they are having power and all things which are helping them for having things as they wanted.

But I see that this has already gotten on everyone's nerves and public opinion has changed a lot, the majority is now irritated by propaganda and these "awards". If you read the comments under the news about the draw (where Inter Miami got the easiest opponents) of the Club World Cup, many people accuse FIFA of corruption and fraud during the draw. Even if there was no fraud in this particular case, people already have a prejudice against FIFA and their dirty deeds.
