He can’t seriously have 64 teams participating in the World Cup. This tournament lasts 38 days, it’s a bloody joke. He should be thinking about the players welfare. Football is not just about the World Cup. Players are not robots. He is deluded.

Good but not surprising though, we now have 48 teams, 15 host cities definitely there will be higher attendance. More money for FIFA.
