Wenger's stupid 2 Year WC Rejected 👍

Arsene Wenger has been pushing for the World Cup every two years - an idea that would seriously devalue the special tournament that it is. Fortunately UEFA have rejected this.

Wenger was a brilliant and creative attack coach - but always struggled when it came to common sense...

Would prefer they just let all teams into these tournaments and don't bother with qualifying or internationals interrupting the league's.

For the world cup just straight knock out, you could have an extended period for warm up games prior to each tournament but that's it.

those poor teams from the 24 are still better than some of the carp that qualifies for the world cup

That is exactly the same argument used to justify the ESL breakaway.

Pyramids, international rankings, seedlings.

Instead of coming up with ridiculously bad ideas to rip the soul out of the WC I wish he'd use some of that brain power to help us get this useless fecker out of the club. If I was him I couldn't sit by and watch Arteta destroy everything, ethos and all.

Personally I'd like him to throw his hat in with his former captains and help bring another financial big hitter in with Ek so the fans get get this club out of the hands of the yank who's destroying it and the team out of the hands of the Anti-Football PL Arsenal murdering Arteta.

Now THAT would be a far better use of his time instead of wasting it on seriously bad ideas like a 2yr WC.

It's really just an excuse to try and wriggle out of big teams having to accept humiliating defeats at Euros/WC when tournament dynamics dictate that at least one or two of them WILL get embarrassed by part timers. "Chop and change stuff so part timers can't get in then we don't have to see our 4mil a week teams shown in front billions up by a 4 grand a week one"

I think they should have more of the smaller teams in personally. When watching international tournaments though I watch and enjoy the heavy hitters doing their thing, my favourite matches (and usually the best) are the ones where the big team gets beat by nobody's. That's what the WC and Euros are for, it's funny AF to see, every time

Didnt Wenger also want the off side rule to be that there had to be day light between the players

I might just be a French thing. I am sure Platini promoted larger goals and goals scored from outside of the box being worth more. He also promoted the WC in Qatar

If it means continental competitions are rid off then why not. Will be more exciting. But if it means we still have Euros what’s the point. More injuries for players, plenty of games as it is in the calendar year.

UEFA probably don't want it because it jeopardises the Euros.

In reality it isn't that bad an idea. I dont think it devalues the competition that much as long as you do away with the continental competitions. Which personally I wouldn't mind (UEFA already massively reduced the quality of the Euros when they increased it to 24 teams). But I don't think any of the continental federations would go for it.

The quality of the WC will be dragged to an all time low very soon with the increase in teams and the increase isn't based on quality of sides.
