If Qatar were stripped of the 2022 World Cup, it would only be because there was undeniable proof that they had bribed their way to victory. That being the case, how would Qatar have any grounds for a big lawsuit against FIFA?

It's not about a lawsuit, it's about the amount of dirt they have on absolutely everyone in FIFA who they bribed or coerced or "persuaded" to get the tournament. Those lads are all out to protect their own backs and a wounded Qatar would be a very dangerous beast. Qatar may be discredited, of course, but they could still take a lot of people down with them.

With 32 teams in League A and B now it is very likely they'll adopt the format of 12 teams entering a playoff for 3 World Cup spots. 10 group runner ups and 2 teams from the 2020/21 Nation's League.

Nah, no runners up.

Four winners from League A, four group winners from League B and four group winners from League C, unless otherwise qualified.

I was referring to the runner ups in the World Cup qualifying groups. 

"For the qualification structure, the second season of the Nations League has been partly linked with European qualification for the World Cup, similar to the UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying play-offs.[2] In the first round, the ten group winners will qualify directly. A possible option for the second round is to add two teams based on their Nations League performance to the 10 group runners-up to make it 12 teams that will play in two knockout stages, from which an additional three teams will also qualify"

A possibility only. The next sentence from the Wikipedia entry is key "The format will be finalised during the UEFA Executive Committee session with the union's national teams competitions panel on 24 September 2019 in Ljubljana, Slovenia."

However, they did not formalise it today. I assume it will be formalised at some stage before the actual Nations League draw but that could change.

I should have been clearer in my earlier post that I was only hypothesising.

Yes you are correct. It's all guess work at this stage. Be interesting to see how they link it to World Cup qualifying. Personally I would be surprised if the World Cup qualifying group runner ups didn't advance to the playoffs. I think it would be quite controversial to have the Nation's League as the only route to the world cup playoffs. There is less spots on offer in comparison to the Euros

Feel like there need to be runners up advancing to a playoffs or the qualifiers would get pretty boring pretty quickly when there's a runaway group winner. UEFA should have more spots than it already has, but that's another discussion.
