Good. Try running a world cup when more than half of the players are prohibited by their contracts from playing.

UEFA countries will be taking far more of the fallout from expanded world cups as it is (player fatigue and injury etc) and FIFA wants to enrich itself further off what is effectively free talent? Fuck that

A lot more than half. It would be full on B-teams, if that, because the B teams also play in Europe.

It's a complete flop, a non-starter, hopefully he goes ahead anyway, for the sheer comedy value.
