I forgot how fast the group stage goes in the world cup. The pacing is fantastic, really keeps the tournament moving. I get the reason why rugby, league etc need longer breaks but it's still a selling point for this tournament.
One of the reasons Rugby wants to expand RWCs and possibly split into a plate type comp. You can schedule more midweek games.

Aren't FIFA shifting to a 48 team comp and 3 team groups next World Cup? Seems overkill
But it will make lots of money.

Yes. They setup very defensively against NZ, so that obviously didn't work for Spain.

UEFA could survive without FIFA. No one else though I think. Aside from Brazil and Argentina other countries outside Europe don’t generally offer much at the pointy end. But a FIFA World Cup without uefa countries woujd be a dud.

@Billy-Tell someone just reminded me that UEFA and their south american equivalent have an existing memorandum of understand re several things (ref exchanges programs etc), if they did align to leave FIFA it could be very interesting to watch

"We are extremely sorry about awarding our corrupt sporting event to a shitty desert nation with the population the size of Brisbane, but we had our reasons. We are having an urgent meeting to address these issues."
The meeting:

Croatia v Morocco was fucking boring. No intent to attack at all.
Some old squads are battling too. Belgium and Argentina look ponderous. Germany are looking shit for the 2nd straight tournament.
Based on what i have seen so far, France look a level above. They are not only skillful, they are big and fast and skillful (tempered by their opposition being a bit shit). England v France in the quarters (should it pan out that way) will be awesome.
