United States will be hosting about 80% of the matches so this argument of three countries hosting the world cup is not entirely true. And regarding the number of teams, it was long due. With the current format, the UEFA teams are over-represented in the FIFA World Cup. During the 1990s, it was justifiable, because back then the Asian and African teams were unable to compete against the UEFA teams. But now the situation has changed completely. AFC and CAF teams are giving good fight to the UEFA and CONMEBOL teams and this was very evident during the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
What's the criteria used to state that UEFA teams are over-represented?.
They are the teams that have won the most number of competitions, ever. A close second is CONMEBOL, and then it's a long way to the third place and the rest.
These are the best teams, and in my mind they should be more of those countries in the tournament.
If the criteria is simply that there are other countries in the world, then I don't agree with that, because simply adding more countries that do no have the same level of skill will simply create less interesting matches.
We saw that with Qatar. It was the only team way below the quality of the tournament. The games they played were not as entertaining as the others. If we continue to add other countries that have that level of skills the whole tournament will lower it's quality.
