Reply to comment by jdoyle87 in TIL the 2026 World Cup will be the first Cup to host 48 teams instead of the usual 32. by hcbaron

You're right, this World Cup is proving to be great for the underdogs, and I wish them the best. As I said, I hope I'm wrong but I see it as a cash grab from FIFA to get more games crammed together. And as you said, I would change the representations from each continental division.

However, football is more than just some goals, and even though it's great to see underdogs winning, usually the bigger teams provide a better game style which is more beautiful to watch, and in my opinion that's what the World Cup is about, to provide the best spectacle possible.

If you're talking about best spectable, you can't act like Cameroon - Serbia, Ghana - South Korea weren't the 2 absolute bangers of this cup.

You're right, this world cup is proving me wrong. I feel like the level of smaller teams has increased over the last few years and I'm all for it.
