And now the World Cup will have 48 teams, which means more matches, which means more weeks of the tournament, which means more money. I remember the idea of the World Cup occurring every two years being floated around and it wouldn’t surprise me if that ends up happening. I feel like greed is going to end up killing this sport, especially the competitiveness of it

Saudi Arabia 2034 $600 billion

Infantino following in the footsteps of Blatter

Eventually the players will not have a summer off.

At the end of every season will be a few weeks of a break, then prepping for the next tournament, then a few weeks break followed by pre season.

So they will make the big cash cow in Saudi 2034. No way they break the Qatar numbers till then

São Paulo FC clearly

That Messi final really paid them handsomely.

Where there is a lot of money there is corruption.

So, the most controversal ones, you know people want to boykott where the best by far revenue wise?

I think if they push that through that’s the straw that breaks the camels back and ends FIFA.

Ah, maybe he was predicting where they will play next season 🤷‍♂️

I don’t think it’s fair to conflate the expansion of the tournament with a hypothetical increase in frequency. While both bring in more money, the former does have sporting value and occasional expansion is healthy, even if it does have downside. The frequency however, should not be altered and is a pure cashgrab

2 world cups could fund a Manchester United takeover!
