The group stages are bad enough, most games are snooze fests, this is going to be that on steroids.

I don't mind the group stages. It's a fun week of constant games for the first two rounds, it's just a nice vibe.
I'm kinda missing it already.
You add more teams and it ruins that. You'd have 2 games on at the same time, not a lot of good teams playing etc.
And it's not like it'll be a bunch of African and Asian teams, which would make it somewhat more interesting, but it'll be more European teams.
Literally, when we’re sat watching Slovakia v Slovenia trust me we’re all gonna curse this new format
Yeah but what about the pre-match penalty shootout?Literally, when we’re sat watching Slovakia v Slovenia trust me we’re all gonna curse this new format

England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland all playing in the WC, blimey.Literally, when we’re sat watching Slovakia v Slovenia trust me we’re all gonna curse this new format
If only FIFA had accepted Jersey's application to join, they'd be in with a shout too....England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland all playing in the WC, blimey.
Yup.
Again, I'm down for having more African teams represented, for instance. Think it's important for the game and they're usually a good watch in the wc, with a good conveyor belt of talent.
But some European teams are just dreadful right now.
Great idea..Remember when Americans did this for their shootouts:
Finally will maybe see my country play the world cup but still it will result extremely unnecessary boring games specially in group stage.
Also there no way you can play world cup of 48 teams in space of one month unless they play 8 games a day and put 2 games at same time
