    World Cup every 2 years?

    What do you think to this idea?

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57205872

    I guess it would give more nations the opportunity to hold the tournament which would be good financially. I can see club managers being against it though due to more risk of injuries.

    I'm guessing they would scrap the Nations League and have less international friendlies and have less games for qualifying...

    I haven't made my mind up about it yet..

    No for me.

    Devalues it.

    Could be a good idea provided it was well organised.

    Also it would take the sting out of the greedy 6 in the Prem wanting a breakaway.

    I'm guessing the Euro's would then happen every two years also? Or would they keep that every 4 years?

    They have already messed up the world cup with 48 teams being in 2026 and now this. Its all about money with fifa as usual, the magic of the world cup is the 4 year gap having it every 2 years will make it boring and less attractive. Id love to know who the 22 were who voted against it.

    I can see this is going to really divide opinion. From the players perspective they would have more chances of competing in and winning the tournament which might be attractive..

    In tennis the players get to win Wimbledon once a year, the same with snooker and the World Championship at the Crucible and you wouldn't say they are boring (if you're into those sports ofc)

    I don't know, can't make my mind up about it one way or the other. Need more time to think about it

    The Olympics bods will be livid. It’ll clash with the games if this goes through.

    Agree with Jammy on this one.

    So... we fight off a super league based on greed.

    Then attempt to feed the greediest of all greedy basturts in FIFA....

    This should be stopped before it gets out of hand....

    Terrible idea, imo.

    Nowt to do with quality, all to do with making more money for greedy bastards.

    No from me. 4 years is enough.

    You'd have Euro qualifying at the same time.
