Theoretically speaking - Could Portugal (a European team) get an invitation for the next coppa? I know they usually go for Asia and N.America but It would be funny to see Ronaldo lifting that trophy in front of Messi (considering he wont win it this year)
I’d love to see that just to make the midget cry but no, not possible anymore. Both tournaments will be happening simultaneously from next year on. And I don’t think an European NT was ever invited. It’s almost exclusively Central or North America/Caribbean. Qatar, Japan and i think Australia next year are exceptions.

the opposite. Extra time is a drag where nothing happens.
Exactly. You’re a big team with top talent and you have 90 fucking minutes to score, if you can’t fuck off. Extra time is two tired teams passing the ball around trying not to concede, while the lesser team will waste every minute they can faking injuries.
