Yeah, but that's 4 out of 51 matches that was played in the whole competition. That's not much (less than 10%). And in the World Cup last year there were 64 games played and about 5 or 6 of them ended with big goal difference. That's OK too. And how do you expect that nations who are not that strong will end up against strong nations? There probably will be few surprises but most of the games will be a one way street where a one team will attack and the other will defend. Is that a game that you will enjoy watching?

If the percentage of one-sided matches in Qatar 2022 remained low at 10%, how can you assume that it will go up during North America 2026? You are just making an assumption that increasing the number of teams would automatically result in more number of one-sided matches. I don't agree with that assumption. What I have noticed from Qatar 2022 is that the gap between the top-10 teams and the remaining teams have narrowed. For every match that ended up as one-sided, there were three matches that can be considered as upsets. Teams such as Morocco and Cameroon made the world cup more interesting this time.
