      With few exceptions, virtually every World Cup after this will have to be a joint venture. There are few nations that have the infrastructure, or that can actually use infrastructure afterwards that is exclusively made for the World Cup. By precedent, host nations are auto qualifiers, but as far as I am aware no official decision has been reached.

      All I know is the U.S. is providing 17 stadiums for this World Cup, they virtually have to be auto qualifiers.

      Where I'm confused is a 48 team, 80 match format. How can you have and even number of teams and also an even number of matches? The final is 1 match, and all other matches are divisible by 2. It has to be an odd number.

                The World Cup has a third-place match between the two teams that lose the semi-final. That's where the 80th match comes from.

                    All three get automatic bids.

                    • After the Colombia game Fox showed Portland versus Atlanta in the MLS. That Atlanta crowd is amazing, I'm not sure I have ever heard a crowd that consistently loud.

                      • That 2026 format means 16 groups, 3 teams in each group (2 games in group stage) and 32 teams advancing to the knockout stage. It's the only way to get to the 80 count, as I keep forgetting they have a 3rd place game in the World Cup. I think those opening group matches are going to be even tighter than they currently are, and the 2nd matches will likely be wide open - especially for those matches with teams that lost their 1st match.

                            • Anyone see Iran v Portugal?

                              VAR anyone?

                              Fucking farce.

                              I now get it that Panoptes will never be a soccer fan......., but with VAR, he REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY will NEVER EVER EVER be a soccer fan.

                              Anyone shouting audibly at their TVs? FUUUUK that was difficult to watch.

                              Thanks for FUCKING UP the soccer FIFA.

                              And get a Fucking rule sorted out for the cheating, diving Latino cunts. Fucking incompetent bawbags.
