I don't understand an interim or short term coach when we don't play for four months, that makes no since at all.

Do not like if it is rumored "play-in" game version of the expansion that was floated around a couple months ago.

Pros: we will never not make a WC ever again.

More nations get in

No "playin" first rounds

Cons: Group play will suck because only the bottom nation doesn't move on

Less games in group play

Demolished glow of making the World Cup proper

Europe having way too many spots

South America too few spots

I'm okay with that Europe number for now. If the quality of play worldwide improves they'll need to lose a spot or two. S America is tough because of how few countries they have but probably should have 1 more spot. There's going to be some terrible teams make it from Concacaf and Asia.

And yea, WCQ for the US will be a joke. Might as well play the U-23s in it.

depending on how CONCACAF does it, we may never play a "meaningful" game vs El Tri outside of the Gold Cup, which i hope will gain more shine now.

Honestly they're not too off from just needing to eliminate the term qualifier and create groups/regions by rankings instead of continent
