Interesting concept but plenty of pros and cons. Where's your head at on the idea?

Absolutely not..WC works so well as its every four years. All about the $$$ as usual regardless of what they say about player welfare.

I would say at this stage I don't like the idea as I think it will lower the achievement of the team that wins it and biggest issue would be what it would do to the qualifiers, with likely going to like a rugby 6 nations set up where you play some teams at home and some teams away but not a home and away thing.
At least in Europe, the system is very good and would lose a lot of its charm if we lost the home and away set up.

Terrible idea motivated by money alone.

Shocking idea. Euros is a better footballing event. Every 4 years adds to the uniqueness of the tournament. And yet....its probably inevitable. |

The only logical pros are for the very select few who will make.a financial killing.

They'll be less restrictive on qualifying to allow more countries compete to make even more money.

Europe and South America against it though. All the others open to the idea.
UEFA and South America Confederation should just threaten to form their own breakaway world football governing body and bring their clubs and nations into it.

seen Wenger saying about all these countries that hat have never qualified for the World Cup. Making it every two years won’t help. They still won’t qualify. They have a point about young people not being interested but this won’t solve anything.

largely irrelevant to us as we won’t be seeing one for a long
Time. Probably just means we sack our managers more often and qualifiers are more concentrated I.e 5 games in 3 weeks for Example twice a year.

An issue that unites YBIG forum
It's the "European Superleague idea" of International Football

Hmm, young people losing interest in football eh? So what can we do? - Promote going to see your local football team wherever it is you live. More young people from Manchester watching City or United. More kids from Sligo watching Sligo Rovers. - Foster links between kids and their international or local team. - Reduce ticket prices for children to make going to matches more accessible. - Introduce safe standing areas so they are attend games with their mates and enjoy the colour and atmosphere Nah, fook it. We'll just knock out a WC every two years instead.

I can see why Asian teams and to an extent African teams favour it. The Euros is a better completion. It would destroy the European Championships

No facking way. Bad enough increasing the teams but having it every 2 years would completely ruin the prestige of it.

Not much more to add on what has already been stated above. Terrible idea for many reasons.

Went undecided as yet to read a detailed article of the pros and cons.
As this is driven by the $$ and power imbalance between ( 1 ) a growing small elite clubs in elite leagues in western europe and ( 2 ) the rest, ...I dont see the any media stakeholder in ( 1 ) filling us in. That said gut reaction is no.. as dilutes the competition and from a european perspective grand as is with a competition every 2 years.

Would turn the WC into a youtube-like content overload, big on quantity and low on quality. Just won't have the cache it has now, will lose a lot of it's meaning.
