I think my one takeaway from the Euros and Copa America is that players, especially the top players, are fatigued from the sheer amount games lately, and it’s only going to get worse by the World Cup. Which sucks because I feel 2022 will be the last hurrah for a decently competitive World Cup. 2026 brings in 48 teams and, with the way the allocations are, there’s gonna be some awful teams and some big blowouts.

The thing I hate is with all the extra teams it makes the qualifiers pretty meaningless for all the big countries. It means you have very little meaningful football outside of the big tournaments and you are 100% correct having the extra teams makes the tournaments a lot less enjoyable.

Yeah, I don’t think we’ll approach USAvThailand at the 2019 Women’s World Cup level but with Asia getting 8 spots, Africa getting 9, and CONCACAF 6 there’s going to be some huge mismatches.

I guess with Europe only going from 13 to 16 means qualifying there will still be a challenge and one or two notable teams will still miss out.
 
30 minutes into the Copa America final and even Messi has thrown in a questionable tackle. 1-0 Argentina right now but this smells like an impending s- show.
 
Producers, Directors, Analysts: “Oh wow that’s a close offside decision on the Argentina goal!”

Me: “The defender touched it, why are they showing meaningless replays?”
 
Messi finally wins an international trophy as Argentina wins the Copa America 1-0 over Brazil.

Meanwhile, Mexico just lost star player Hirving Lozano in a scary collision with T&T's GK.
 
Also, as expected, the match had at least one stoppage for the "puto" chants (didn't get to see the match but read reports/saw highlights). So Mexico is more and more likely to be playing more matches with no fans.

What's the procedure with this? Officials stop game ----> get in touch with Game Management -----> Game Management make an announcement over the PA saying "Don't say 'PUTO'" -----> Game resumes

Rinse/repeat as needed.
