World Cup 2022

[TitoFan]

I get what you're saying Tito but isn't the idea that you should get your best 32 teams there at the finals?

Europe has the best football teams by far and many miss out. Let's face it the euros are basically the world Cup without Brazil and Argentina when it comes to the business end of the tournaments.

No idea what the split is intended to be when it goes to 48 countries.

When you look at the FIFA world rankings, it supports your point. If you look at # of countries in the top 32 FIFA rankings versus how many qualifiers they get, it looks something like this:

FIFA Confederation - # of qualifiers - # of countries in top 32

UEFA - 13 - 16

CONMEBOL - 4.5 - 6

CONCACAF - 3.5 - 3

CAF - 5 - 4

AFC - 4.5 - 3

So actually, Europe and S America are technically underrepresented in the World Cup, while the others are slightly overrepresented.

You have an opinion on everything you don't ya ? Yes I do. Would you like to hear my opinion on other topics?

How's the giants of football (Soccer) Puerto Rico doing these days ? We don't DO soccer. We do boxing, baseball, and basketball.

I'll wait

Sorry I couldn't back up your racist views with facts... but then it's tough to defend viewpoints that always center around racism... real or perceived.

Well everything on this planet is rooted in racism.

Now let's be clear one thing

You brought up race. Not me. I was talking about world cup allocation.

You brought it up.

And I was explaining what I believe is the basis for World Cup allocation after initially supporting your viewpoint that African nations are somehow slighted. A perception that is proven wrong by the statistics I shared with you.

But you seemed to take exception to that, and posted as such.

To which I calmly and clearly clarified that Puerto Rico doesn't do soccer. An irrelevant fact that shouldn't even have been a topic of conversation, except you thought it might get a rise out of me.




But then we all know that your initial post on this thread pretty much insinuated that African nations were somehow being "left out" of equal representation in the World Cup, didn't it.

Why else would you bring that up? Unless it fits together with your constant droning about how "everything on this planet being rooted in racism."

You may not have uttered the word "racism", but your twisted world views practically OOZED out of your post.
