Would the US team qualified if they weren’t the host?


Almost certainly. We are ranked 14th in the world.

We wouldn't have gotten as good of a dram though. We would have played a pot 1 team.

Top two from each group, as well as like 8 third placers.

So, 32 out of 48.

Seems kinda weird.

Should just send top two from each group for a total of 24.

Top 8 group winners in terms of goal differential get a bye to the round of 16. It would encourage the team leading the group to continue playing hard in that third and final group stage game.

Apparently, you don’t do FIFA math.
More games=more money
More money=more bribes
More bribes=better lives

I only watch WC and Olympics soccer. I know nothing about the sport basically. How many games do we have to win in order to win the gold ball?
