8 african teams in a World Cupfack off
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why? Its the world cup after all.

Would be interesting. Away games in Africa and South America would be pretty tough for Europes elite.

It will be fine, the next World Cup goes up to 46 teams…. ?.. wait, that means Italy defo gets in next time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Absolutely which is a shame to watch European teams getting help again and again. France are actually taking it to another level by playing mostly French born African players and England, Germany and Portugal are following suit at least Spain and Italy compete with their own folks.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Spain and Italy use foreign born players. Mainly South American.

Not sure who the biggest cheats are now in Europe really, probably France. The Swiss steal loads from elsewhere as well.

All the French team spent their whole lives in the country (pretty much). Are you suggesting if their parents don't come from that country they shouldn't be able to play for them.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Is that question for me?

Nah, they should be proud of their roots and play for their parents country.

Right

It is quite funny though how some players really big up their origins but have no problem defecting to a better football nation. They never defect down do they? Like Luxembourg or something.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Its not funny because its possible to be proud of your roots and happy to play for the country that's given you everything else at the same time. In fact, that's a human beings default status.

Is there some rule that says it must be one or the other?

I’d go this for 2026 (though 3 concacaf will be automatic so not sure how it’ll work)

3 host places
16 Europe
1 Oceania
8 Asian
10 South American
8 African
2 Concacaf

And for 2030 give more concacaf places and alter accordingly
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So every South American country apart from 2 then?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
N only 2 from Conkercaffe

Salah, Mane, Mendy and Mahrez could walk in any European starting lineup that’s my point.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And there’s numerous European players who get into every African side. Stupid argument.

If Italy had won, wouldn't they have have had to play Portugal? 5 African teams will go to the world cup, which is plenty.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Wow!! embarrassing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

What is embarrassing? You want more?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
unsure what he wants really...for my money i'd boycott the facker altogether, & get on with proper Premier footy
