It's all about viewership B81. FIGC, DFB and others need to free themselves from FIFA and start their own WC. Otherwise Perez and Agnelli will make their own Cup.
-automatic qualification for 11 historical nations: Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia, Mexico, Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, Bosnia
-automatic qualification for 11 nations based on Super League Viewers Advanced Voting Polls: China, India, USA, Indonesia, Pakistan, Russia, Japan, Egypt, Turkey, Iran, Thailand etc.
-9 "open spots" for teams to qualify: 2 from Americas, 2 from Asia, 2 from Africa, 3 from Europe
-one wild card, for a team that has performed well in recent years but somehow missed the tournament
That's how you save football. Little Lianghao wont be tuning in to watch Iceland Russia at the world cup. He wants to watch his hero Zhang Wong Chao play against the Brazils and Frances of the world. That will make him go out, pick up a ball, and try to achieve his dream of playing for Shanghai, not Spain wasting time again Switzerland after having a 1-0 lead.
PS, if anyone wonders why their team isn't in the historical nations, it's because they are playing in the righteous FIFA world cup semifinal against Madagascar, with a chance to play Papua New Guinea in their 2nd ever final. Exciting times for true football
