FIFA is destroying the quality of the world cup! They are going for quantity instead of quality.Just the other day,we witnessed a country beating another one 16-0 in the under 17 world cup! Will they be proud of a senior world cup in which Curacao,Haiti, Panama,New Zealand and Cape Verde will concede a combined total of more than 100 goals in the group stage?🤮😡🤮😡🤮😡🤮😡
Cape Verde is strong

Haiti 🇭🇹 was participating in the 74 World Cup. At that time, the play was not soft. They lost to Italy 3 to 1 , Poland 🇵🇱 7 to 0 and Argentina 🇦🇷 4 to 1. Stop belittle those countries.
Central America should not be given such a high number of slots.

Do you think Portugal 🇵🇹 is now better than Argentina 🇦🇷 in 1974. Do some research instead of belittle a country.

Just how on earth did Haiti qualify for the world cup? A country that is being governed by gangs! Their spot should be handed over to Kenya because it is the one policing that banana republic.🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
What about Kenya. It's the corrupt president and politicians who were played by Biden for money and believed they would do something in Haiti. The Kenyan people are very well educated, but the corruption of people who are in power is real.

of course there are going to be debutants and countries coming back after long hiatus.....it's a ridiculous amount of teams in there....may as well not have qualifying and have every country participate...it's become a farce.

Just imagine Leo Messi takes selfie with FIFA president & eats dinner with him in the World Cup host country, Ronaldo fans would say 🗣️“FIFA BOY” And here is really Cristiano Ronaldo is getting appreciated for taking selfie with FIFA president in the USA today! 🇺🇸👀 Now they are saying 🗣️ “It’s Aura, it’s motion. The proper face of football, other guy could never.” 😂 Meanwhile other guy literally received the most prestigious football trophy from the same FIFA president! 🇦🇷🏆

Keep quiet, there are many countries which want to participate in this tournament. If your country gets a chance because of this, you may not reject it
you guys not getting it, every team plays qualifiers but with 48 teams in a final its too much. The tournament will be long and boring until quarterfinals where teams will be more evenly matched.

That’s how you know the real GOAT. Ronaldo’s impact is bigger, while people always complain that Messi wins some awards and trophies through favoritism.
