they should not ruin the world cup by placing it every 2 years, it would not be very attractive anymore, every 4 years is very good to have a world cup, now I hope that my national team will go so that it will be double happiness.

Fifa just wants a bigger slice of the pie. With a World Cup sheduled every two years, the first with problems would be the continental confederations, as it would interfere with the Euro, the Copa, the Africa Cup. But i guess that is part of the plan. In the long run, the number of club games had to be reduced, With a major tournament every year, and lots of the time in every year occupied by qualification games for those tournaments, there simply would not be enough left of the seasons to play the Champions League in its current format.

This is all going wrong way in my opinion. 2 years is joke, it's big thing and all just becouse it is only every 4 years and more countries is worse in my opinion even, just like did in the euros. Like really more 16 teams and all them really good, every game was great. But my country sucks at football so we didnt qualify for no big tourneys for long time and don't see that will be every time soon.

Who wants to make the world cup at two years wants more money... It's not like when 12 big clubs refuse the new Champions League format and want to make their own Super League, but is only for financial parts. This is wrong and must remain at 4 years.

So , it will take place from November to December , because of the high temperatures , sure it will be interesting to see how this tournament will be . I am used to World Cup being played during the summer all these years , it is better in the summer , to watch these matches during holidays or whatever , I would prefer it that way , but anyway , now we cannot change it , so we''ll see how it will go .

Well, let's hope everything remains as it is. I don't like changes very much, I prefer the traditional. Hopefully it will continue to be a World Cup every 4 years, and not every 2. I would downplay the tournament. But hey, as they said all this is a matter of money. I also would not have liked the super league that they were planning to build with those 12 or 16 teams (since someone mentioned it),
Not a good idea, in my opinion.
