I know its not ended yet this World Cup but you realized, this its the last World Cup with this format?
In the next one USA/Canada and Mexico 2026 we have 48 participants, this its the last one with 32, we have this format since France 98. So its not the first time the World Cup change his format, but i think this last change its more about money/broadcasting than football. with 48 participants we can have so much low tier national teams.
Only good thing? More matches to see to bet, and surely more people in the cities who host the tournament.
