Flip Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I back more teams but not groups of three. Just so Norway can have a chance...Honestly 32 teams is the perfect amount. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chopey Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Ye kna how the last World Cup was class? Cannit risk it happening again. Totally agree with this, at last the likes of Antarctica, the Moon and Halleys comet can put their teams in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I back more teams but not groups of three. Why? Minnows in the world cup are the most interesting part until the QFs start, so I'd happily have a few more days of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I back more teams but not groups of three. Just so Norway can have a chance... Europe would get very few extra spots, so not at all. People are just afraid of change. At some point people probably protested the increase to 32 teams, but now that is "the perfect amount"? How do we knownthis until we've tried more?

Foluwashola Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 The quality of half the WC teams is already weak as piss. More shit teams doesn't create interest, it just creates shit games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Do they just like to change the set up for the craic? More teams maybe, but 16 groups ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 32 works well because it's a logical way to dispose of teams where half go out each round. If you're going to expand it I'd genuinely prefer it to go to 64 and add in an extra knock out round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huss9 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 three-team groups mean only a guaranteed 2 matches after such a long qualification struggle. think 3 initial group games is much better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 The main problem is that groups of 3 are minging, especially when you have to go all the way to Group P. Then there's the problem that even fewer countries will be able to host such a large tournament, leading to lots of duel or even three-way hosts. And 48 is just a wrong number, multiples of 16 32 are perfect. But money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AfroP Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/38368144 So our home nations have been fined for wear poppy arm bands around armistice day. In the article Fifa disciplinary committee chairman Claudio Sulser said ""The display, among others, of any political or religious symbol is strictly prohibited," But it could be argued that the poppy is neither political nor religious in this context. but a mark of respect for fallen countrymen much in the same way that when a footballer or other prominent figure passes they were a black arm band.

Stifler Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 For what it's worth England got the highest fine for wearing poppies on an armband, Wales and Northern Ireland who also had fans hold up paper which showed a poppy got lesser fines, and Republic of Ireland got the lowest fine for displaying the date of the Easter uprising.

huss9 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 i just think the fa were never gonna win this one. they had made their point, the poppies should have been removed and the tens of thousands of pounds in fines could have gone to veterans' charities instead.
