Say “club cup “ rapidly as fast as you can without sounding like “ klopp “.

So the rags or red scousers can’t play in this,in the case of the rags they can if they win the champions league next season which is a bit of a reach,but you can bet by hook or by crook I wouldn’t be surprised both of those teams will be there..

 

[No.8]

Read the criteria for entry - its clear you havent.

Eight from Co Efficient Table

I've literally just given you a link to the Fifa website which details the criteria for qualification - I've even extracted the paragraph from the Fifa website which clearly states the opposite to what you are saying.

I now think you are on the wind up, nobody is this stupid.

Where ever you have copied and pasted that from is your problem - its clearly out of date (PSG went out 3 and a half months ago so its at least older than that) and doesn't take in to account the information FIFA have since released.

Oh and It'll definitely be City that win.

no - whoever wins the CL for 23/24 will be in the CWC 2025 Any CL winner from 21 to 24 gets in. The cap on 2 teams from one country does not apply to the winners in those years. Newcastle could get there.

There are only 8/9 sports available based on the UEFA coefficients.
Am looking forward to it as I will be going to the WC 2026 so is a good way to decide which cities to go to.

With this and the Champions League being expanded, how are they going to fit all the games into an already overcrowded calendar? This is just FIFA and UEFA creating fixture congestion just to line their pockets.

Throw in the extra international games. No wonder DeBruyne was complaining. It is sheer greed and it is putting me off it all. Some will see it as progress, me it's going to far

“Us 38” ?

Have you copied and pasted that from a Rangers fan website?

I don’t like taking sides but I think I’m favouring the guy who’s giving links to the actual official FIFA website at the moment.

Haha. This has been great reading.
It's like that thread that went on for ages with the bloke arguing that there wasn't seven days in a week.
