💬Discussion Why wont FIFA bring back confederations cup???????

• Upvotes

Instead of having only the winners of continental championships, they should do winners AND runners ups, that would give teams like Spain, France, Argentina, England, Uruguay, Colombia, plus the 3 hosts, USA, Canada, Mexico (3 hosts + 2 FWC Winner & runner up + 2 EURO Winner & runner up + 2 AFC Winner & runner up + 2 CAF Winner & runner up + 2 COPA AMERICA Winner & runner up + 2 Gold Cup Winner & runner up + OFC Nations cup winner), that would create a 16 team field, with 4 groups of 4, top 2 qualify to quarter finals.

And for the club world cup, they should do it 1 year after the Fifa world cup

💬Discussion How much (if at all) would a second World Cup win have impacted Messi’s legacy?

• Upvotes

Would his legend have been elevated even more had Argentina won either the 2014 or 2026 finals? I don’t think we view players like Diego Maradona or Zinedine Zidane very differently for winning one Copa instead of two, but not sure if this is the case for Messi. Obviously Pele’s three titles is a whole different level, though

💬Discussion What is your favourite Fifa World Cup intro and why?

• Upvotes

For me it has to be the 2014 world cup intro mainly because it was my first ever world cup that i watched and also because its simply timeless, even this summer when i listiened to it on youtube it brought back so many wonderful memories for me watching the world cup in summer 2014. Would love to know yours!
