Rashford?

i know. i was shocked he didn't make it too.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

I don't know why anyone gives two shits about this annual wankfest. Football is a team game, not an individual one. Seriously couldn't care less if a Spurs player made it on to the list or not.

Haha. Hard to get a game in DCs shadow.

It's hilarious all these viral "fan" accounts that make these predictions that backfire on them

But yeah, Costa is a beast

I do feel a bit sorry for the lad, but with the form Costas in hes just going to have to bide his time. Poor guys got 6 goals in his last 8 starts too(for us and in France)

2026 will officially see a 48 team world cup. 3 groups of 16.

You'd think someone with a Chelsea themed twitter handle would have known this though...

You mean 16groups of 3.
That's pathetic. Why are all decisions based on money with FIFA?

 

[Magma]

yeah i do. 16 groups of 3.

i dont know which one's worse.

I agree. I think remember seeing it at the time (i follow him/her) and thinking wtf.

Ugh, horrid.

 

[FAITH]

They're killing the prestige of the world cup.
Qualification stage will be a joke.

 

[Cruyff14]

$$$$$

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

This needs its own thread. **** FIFA. **** Modern Football.

 

[typeclub]

Nope, David Alaba is and has been the best LB in the world for awhile now

Lol no.

 

[Zidane98]

What a farce. FIFA might as well make it a 128 team tournament with 32 groups of 4 and be done with it. Qualification would be thrilling.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Man, I can't wait to see Germany vs Tahiti and Brazil vs Kyrgyzstan. **** FIFA.

 

[Zidane98]

If someone started up WFA ( world football association ) what would the ramifications be for associations seceding from FIFA and joining it?

2026 will officially see a 48 team world cup. 3 groups of 16.

Absolute crock. Is it 3 games per group? You will get some absurdly undeserving teams making knockouts now. At least with 6 games per group a team generally needed say a win and a draw to get through.

So Germany, Costa Rica, Senegal...

Germany beats Costa Rica 3-0 beats senegal 4-0. Costa Rica play Senegal for a 0-0 draw. Welcome to the knockouts Costa Rica! Dont even need to score a goal!

 

[Sub_Zero]

Lol no.

Lol yes.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Hey, but anyway to get China to qualify right?

 

[typeclub]

Lol yes.

He is the best player who can play left back, centre back and defensive mid but he isn't best at any of them.

 

[Fryer Tuck]

Hey, but anyway to get China to qualify right?

With the way things currently stand. Iraq, Syria, and Palenstine are going to qualify ahead of China.

 

[Zidane98]

Hey, but anyway to get China to qualify right?

They still won't. Despite President Xi's declaration that they are 20 years away from world domination they couldn't even beat Hong Kong and Syria in qualifying - a result that particularly pleased Cooldude
