- The Future of the World Cup is NOT GOOD.
Welcome to Nitro Football. The World Cup is starting a new format, that UEFA want to claim that benefits the fans and players. But really, they are only making this new format to benefit their wallet.

Ok, so I stumbled upon one of your videos like 2 weeks ago, and you are the funniest football youtuber out there you will make it soon don't worry and keep your head up.
YOU WILL MAKE IT TO 1 MILLION BY 2025
I appreciate the kind words man!
ikr!!!
Every country is already represented in the qualifications stages. That's why its called the World Cup finals.
Very true point
@NitroFooty maybe your next video could be about the history of corruption in Fifa , Sepp Blatter, and oil money paying off referees. Noone outside of Asia paid much attention to this past Afc Asian Cup but Qatar winning twice in a row... come on bruh. And the refs were handing out yellow cards to teams that were superior to the Arab teams. Really sus . 2022 World Cup - Qatar. 2023 AFC Champions League - Qatar. 2023 AFC Asian Cup - again hosted in Qatar. Guess where the 2027 Asian Cup is being hosted? Saudi Arabia. This shit is so corrupt.
One thing that I think you are conveniently missing out on is the fact that the World Cup has had 3rd teams advancing before. 86-94 had 3rd teams advancing. It gives teams in Asia/Africa a lot better exposure to football at the highest level. I also think it ensures the best European teams make the tournament, because it is based off finishing top 2 in your group
It was dumb then and it’s still dumb now
@@NitroFooty Its also the fact the Euros use this
@@NitroFooty I agree. I dislike this best 3rd place rule. It's a very imbalanced system which more often than not, awards undeserved teams to go through to the next round
obviously the world cup was gonna expanded but having a round of 32 sounds really stupid
Yeah it’s quite the mess
not really because it 5 knock out rounds
@@samplingmastersxlr8660you do realize we gonna see teams who don’t derseve to be an round of 16 be in the round of 16
@@captainfalconmain6576 Honestly though, thats otherwise the point. I like other teams making the Ro16. They just need to clean up the system to make it something where it's actually somewhat fair
@@FedoraMan-Sportsmsybr but the guy an the video don’t like the format but i’d ok expansion because of the 3rd places rules he don’t like it why would fifa make that big of a expansion jump it to. 64 don’t make sense to me
The issue with the FIFA World cup, at least for Europeans, is that it is less interesting than the UEFA Euro. It feels diluted due to the qualification quotas.
You won't see the best teams of the world on the world cup. If you take the current Fifa Men's Ranking, you will find somewhere around 23-25 from Europe in the top 48 (15-17 in the top 32).
With the 32 team system only 13 European country qualify, with the 48 system it will be 16 teams.
Every time the world cup is on, there are several Europian counties are "pissed off", because other lower table national teams qualified instead of their "top 32" national team due to quotas.
Several top ranking "big guns" can miss the World Cup because they ended up in a death-group during the European qualification rounds.
The critique was never about the number of teams, it was always about the quality of teams.
48 teams just make it more diluted.
That’s interesting to hear, because not many people outside Europe care about the euros, but many people care about champions league. The connection to the club is easier than a country you have no connection to i guess
They are wanted 16 groups of 3 and not to have 2 teams from Europe in a group. It should change.
Africa 7.5
Asia: 6.5
Europe: 23
North America: 4.5
Oceania: 1
South America: 5.5
Eh. Even if europe have more quality of teams, i think they should have an even amount of teams per federation like (based on the amount of countries in that federation)
@@FedoraMan-Sports the real number is more equal , adding more spots for Europe is stupid and ignorant
@@NitroFooty Champions league, while heavily pumping money the giant clubs of the top 5 league, will shows you the top players from all around the world. Erling Haaland (Manchester City) from Norway could easily skip the World Cup, because his national team ranking 47, won't beat the possible 2 "juggernaut" in the qualification group. Robert Lewandowski (FC Barcelona) can easily skip it with Poland, they are "just" 28th and are in the same danger too.
Connection to a club is much more stronger and pure. A Manchester United supporter from England will cheer for Bayer Munchen when they are playing Liverpool :D
EDIT:
However, if you compare the "national stadiums" of each European country with their largest club stadiums, you will see considerable size differences. A game of the national team can easily sell out a 60-70k stadium, but the cup final between the two clubs in the same arena leaves empty places (not considering the big leagues).
People say fifa rigged the 2022 World Cup, but Europe has 16 teams vs. 5 from South America. Europe will always have the upper hand.
It is still a joke that only 6 teams qualify for the next World Cup from CONMBEOL while AFC and 9 from AFCON.
I’ll tell you what, teams like Chile, Paraguay and Peru may not be player-for-player better than the European elites, but I’m willing to bet they’d give the Europeans a competitive game, as they always do against Argentina and Brazil.
Well, Europe has more nations.
@@Technical_ability_superiority well we can't bring all 10 South American nations now can we, besides if we do there are no qualifiers.
@@Insomnia74 True I didn’t think of that but still for me, all of the South American teams except Bolivia and Venezuela are competitive enough to play at the WC, certainly compared to a lot of the AFCON, CONCACAF and AFC teams.
Even if almost every team qualifies, there can still be a qualifier to determine what draw you get in the group stage, as obviously a higher place finish should equal easier group chances.
@@Technical_ability_superiority yeh, I personally think all 10 should be in, but other confederations would not be happy with such a decision
a 64 team World Cup is only a matter of time, but that's where it will stop
2042 the 128 country World Cup
Yea
@@NitroFooty Nahh, 256
Not gonna lie the Dr. Evil reference is crazy, but they should at least add a wild card round for that. But hey, Bosnia might make it to the knockouts
How would your wild card idea work?
@NitroFooty You have a different format in this one. 8 groups of 6 Where the 1st place team automatically moves on to the round of 16, where the 2nd and 3rd place teams in each group play in a wildcard matchup in the RO24, all else is single elim. I noticed you can do the ro32 and have top 4 advance instead or just top 2, but you want half the teams to advance and also dont want too many games
@@FedoraMan-Sports With groups of 6 that would be too many games played in group stage IMO
@@NitroFooty probably, but it still works better then thiers. Or for drawing of the groups you can do the pot system kinda like the champions league, where every team plays 3 games and play against a team from the better pot a, the middle of the pack pot b, or the bottom C based on qualifying results. It would guarentee everyone plays around simular quality teams, and then you could do it in under the amount of games that would normally be played.
One question though. How do you build your channel THAT quickly, I mean like 4 longs and you've passed 1k. How do you do that?
What the hell is that logo.. no personality even when theres THREE countries involved, 3 DIFFERENT CULTURES AND THEY CHOSE 2 COLOURS AND A RANDOM WORLD CUP NOT EVEN A CUSTOM LOOKING ONE ON THE LOGO???
The logo is TERRIBLE
The logo looks like something u come up on ms paint
Just bring back the new format already, its just so hard for some underdogs to get through with this even though they had to play france or england or something😢.
Also youre just so funny bro😂
I appreciate it!
Yes true
only 16 for europe is crazy
If it makes anyone feel better, even if Europe had more then Italy still wouldn’t have made it last time lol
@@NitroFooty fr broski haha
2 teams from one continent being in the inter confederation playoff is dumb. Oceania shouldn’t have one with an automatic bid
I’m actually so excited for New Zealand to have an off year and Fiji sneaks into the freakin World Cup 😂😂
I don't like the new format of the world cup, the 32 team group A to H was good enough, the advantage the 48 team world cup is it can open up a path for teams that don't qualify regularly or never qualified, the main disadvantage will be that there is quantity over quality
The last format was excellent
@@NitroFootythats right
Stop complaining about “fair” and “unfair” and just win. Sports aren’t fair. As you said just win 2/3 and you’re safe. It is what it is. Enjoy it. The Group Stage isn’t the star of the show anyways
I’ll do what I want
In favour of the 48 team World Cup. But the format needs adjusting. Like the existing format, only the top two in each group should progress. And then you have a second group phase of 24 teams, with eight groups of three - with only the group winners progressing to the quarterfinals. For those who know their World Cup history, this is a similar format to the first 24 team World Cup, in Spain in 1982. And before people scream ‘disgrace of Gijon’, that incident happened in the first phase, in a four team group. If you seed the tournament properly (eg. Six pots of eight teams each) - and the ‘expected’ seeded team is the team that sits out the opening match in the second group phase, the assumed strongest and weakest play the middle match, and play the ‘expected’ top two in the final game - then the risk of ‘dead rubbers’ in the second phase is minimised. It won’t always pan out the way, because seeded teams don’t always win their groups, some get KOd in fact. But this system, reduces the probability of dead rubbers.
I really like your idea! But personally I think groups of 3 is just as problematic.
My proposal: 8 groups of 6. Group winners advance to the Round of 16 and 2nd place teams play a 3rd place team in a play-in round
Only big problem is that’s 5 group matches!! Too many
@@NitroFooty There’s no good way to do 48. Makes meaningless games more likely, but the race to top the group means more
too many games, 12 groups of 4 is basically what they did in 1994 double the size, in the end, it will be fine.
I'm still flabbergasted at the fact that the 2030 fifa world cup will be played in 3 continents
only 2 continents, and actually much closer together than the 3 countries from 2026
I think it's great that more countries are gonna get the chance to participate in the world's biggest tournament. But like you said, there's a lot of flaws in this system that can make it hard to get behind and be optimistic about. So we just gotta see how a World Cup with 48 teams plays out and hope for the best lol.
World Cup will still be fun, but once a team gets screwed in the 3rd match of the group stage, there’s gonna be a lot of people upset 😂
@@NitroFooty That's definitely one thing that's gonna suck lol
@@rd101 nobody should care
Good video, but it's going to be just like the 24 team world cups and 24 team euros...some 3rd placed teams go, some won't. Not a big issue in my opinion.
Fair enough!
African cup of nations 2024 had this exact same format.
Was it good?
For me, the only reason the expansion happened was FiFA saying, "we want (more) Chinese money". As a Korean, never been cheering harder for China's opponents. Would be enough of a laughing point to cure many people's depression if PRC actually didn't make it 😂.
You think China will make the World Cup now?
@@NitroFooty Probable rather than possible. But will experience generational embarrassment without a rigged draw + corrupted refs.
Quit making everything about China. It's quite annoying to be honest.
@@tarheelenigma THAT is why FIFA can pull this BS. Lack of interest.
FIFA wants China and India on the WC so bad.
You are totally right!
Greetings from Buenos Aires.
🇦🇷
your not making sense your okay with the expansion but don’t like the format do you really want a 64 team world cup ?
Sometimes it’s hard to tell if I’m joking but 64 teams is too many teams. I was joking.
@@NitroFooty i see but can you tell me your format that you like ?
The euros are basically the same format but no one is talking about it. Also the women's world cup was also this way before they expanded to 32 teams
It doesn’t make me like it still!
It seems nowadays everything is getting worse
Wish I was born in 99999 bc the good old days
99999 BC was overrated. “Best” players were statpadding against farmers smh
@@NitroFootybruh 99999 bc was FIRE
Instead of whoever has more points in 3rd. They should factor in the fifa rankings of the teams they played in their group with some mathmatical equation. It’ll be confusing but also more fair
Honestly yeah it would be more fair, but then it would actually be slightly easier for those groups with tougher teams. It’s just never going to be perfectly fair with this amount of teams. Should be 32 teams!
I think its a dumb idea, but i can see their point.
The change to the Euros, while it added more games, have also made some obscure teams suddenly pop up or past powerhouses rise again.
I think this change is mostly made for the weaker teams than for the stronger teams.
What FIFA wants is for the shit teams to improve over time.
UEFA was the testing ground. And it worked. Teams like the Faroe Islands arent trash that get defeated 14-0 anymore. San Marino actually has scored in 3 consecutive games. And most importantly, countries like Hungary are returning to the Big Stage that they hadn't been for almost 80 years.
Still, if they want this shit to work, they need to allow bigger rosters.
Just 26 players is not enough for the number of games, they need to increase the roster sizes too.
These are very good points!
It looks like group stage will still be the same based on the video, groups of four. 3rd place teams can still pass through but will advance through point differential?
That’s much better than 16 groups of 3 and all that and it’s similar to the euros right now but with more teams.
I worry about having a round of 32 but as someone who loves basketball as well, it’s similar to the NCAA tournament. It’s just another extra round though IDK if that is good for players fitness but as someone who loves the NCAA tournament I think it can work with the World Cup.
I do think they could’ve just kept the original format and wish sports tournaments or leagues stopped changing things too much, but I do agree with many it’s good for many countries that can’t make the WC that much.
As a Filipino American, this is good for a country like the Philippines and can help spread the sport there since football isn’t that big there.
I don’t think they need to do it and think the tradition should’ve been kept; but the new format can spread the love of football to more countries that already love or don’t have the same passion like in South America.
Also I see it as football wanting to keep its mark in the world as the most popular sport. More countries in it will spread more influence and make it known the World Cup is the greatest tournament ever. More teams doesn’t make the prestige of the tournament any less.
I’m like 50/50 but end of the day it’s football and can’t complain. For me I’m actually more annoyed with how they have been picking countries. USA is understandable in a sense, but what they did recently with South America and Spain/Portugal/ Morocco?
Like I don’t mind multiple countries but they need to be super close like England/Scotland. It’s also obvious too they are choosing countries for greed like with South Africa, Russia, and recently Qatar.
They need to choose stable countries with history. Obviously it’s England, France, or Italy but they have been ignoring them for years especially England.
A 64 game knockout tournament would be rad! And make the first round a three game total points series so that each qualifying team gets a guaranteed three games that matter (because if you lose the first two matches by one goal, you can still come back and win the third match by three goals and win the series)
Playing the same team 3 times would be a bit boring tho. It would be better to just have a 16 groups of 4, and the top 2 go to round of 32. It's a more fair version of this new format
It would be better if you just had the 12 group winners and the four best second place teams to go into the round of 16. If anything, you would have a more attacking World Cup because just getting second place would not be good enough for you. You still running to the same issues of maybe some groups being easier than other groups, but you would have way more attractive football to go with it. Which also means you will have more shock exits
Probably, but that means less games and money! UEFA can’t have that!
It’s a World Cup so I’d like to see more of the world involved in the cup lol we’ll see how this turns out but it sounds interesting
True
Imagine a 64 team bracket! Brazil v New Guinea in the knockout rounds. LFG! Keep up the awesome vids bro.
Papa New Guinea final 4 cinderella story incoming
I’d love to see that game…. NOT! 😊
I feel like the 2 wins to win a group argument doesnt really make sense, even now if you win your 2 first games it is pretty much impossible to not make the elemination round and we saw that in the last world cup france play their B-Team in the last game against tunisia and lost so i dont feel like it would make such a difference
Sure it happens sometimes, but now the odds of it happening are significantly higher, even if not on 6 points.
should have been like 22 europe 8 south america 3+3 north america 5 asia 7 africa
South America just doesn’t have enough countries to warrant that, even if they are good at football.
More terrible teams to make it easier for big teams to go to semis.
All records will now be worthless because everyone is playing more (aka more games aka more minutes aka more goals )
Yep. The records will mean nothing.
The suspicions on the rigging went as far back as 2002
South Korea in 2002 was sus
It is 12 groups of 4 teams. All 2 first teams and the 8 best 3rd. After it is round of 32, round of 16, quarter final, semi final, final and 3rd place
If only there was a video to explain this somewhere
Congratulations to Mbappe on the all time fifa goal scoring record
Yep pretty much! I think he maybe was gonna do it anyway but now there’s no doubt
This guy is acc really good, you geined a sub. almost 2k subs in a month is isnane.
Thanks man! Just trying to make some good videos so glad you enjoy
I personally don't like more teams in the world cup because, that means more games, witch leads to more injury's. Being more of a club gal myself, that means more players injured during club games, especially when it comes to Barca 😔. Plus, this will make the World Cup feel like FA cup. A lot of games you really don't care to watch.
World Cup is always my favorite but if it becomes over saturated with games it becomes less special
Injuries happen. You can’t avoid them.
@@prestigeshogun1534 actually you can with less games. Players need time to recover between games or they will pick up more injuries.
@@MyBubblez42 Boo-hoo. Injuries happen. If you can’t overcome them, you aren’t good enough to win.
@@prestigeshogun1534 lmao yeah right, try to overcome an ACL injury then tell me how it goes. That's exactly what happened to Gavi with Spain playing a pointless game. Stop blowing hot air and crying (boohoo), and give some facts.
There’s nothing wrong with FIFA adding more teams.
People act like countries such as San Marino, Bolivia, Guatemala, Tanzania, or India would have it easier to qualify for the World Cup. That’s nonsense. With this new format, countries like Italy, Sweden, and Turkey may actually have a better chance of qualifying.
Countries like Ivory Coast and Egypt might go when they didn’t in the last World Cup.
In South America, countries like Bolivia, Venezuela, and Paraguay may still miss out.
Even in CONCACAF, you probably won’t see a team that’s not Honduras, Panama, Jamaica, or Costa Rica qualify, as we have seen them go in the past. Costa Rica, for instance, beat Uruguay and Italy in the World Cup.
Let’s not exaggerate. It’s obvious that the World Cup usually has five clear favorites to win the tournament, but you still have a dozen other teams that may surprise and eliminate a World Cup contender early in the stages.
It’s no different from the top five European leagues, which always have the same teams winning the leagues.
True
Well if every single team group has a3rd placed winner with 6points then what you said doesnt apply although its unlikely
Yes that’s true 😅
For Africa, which is a land of football, I can understand. There are good national teams. For the rest of the world no. I am European and I think it should be up to UEFA to lose 2 or 3 slots for teams from Africa.
Good teams already do a 3rd game of “substitutes” if they are qualified. Both to rest the players and to accustom the substitutes to the pressure of a World Cup.
I guess they ruined it when they expanded from 13 teams as well..
I don’t think so
You were right in the video
I try
3:25 yeah so you should add more slots to europe and south america rather than adding countries ranked 100th in world
Yeah I just don’t see the UAE going too far
Concacaf should have 1 team on the WC. One should go to Europe and the other to a playoff between south America and Africa.
1 team total or 1 team on top of the 3 auto qualified?
@@NitroFooty 1 team total. This WC being an exception. Similar to what happens with the Oceania confederation. Wont happen though, Mexico and the US bring a lot of money and thats key to FIFA.
You deserve more subs
Thanks man! I just started 1 month ago so I’m sure we’ll grow!
Idc im cool with it more games is better to me.might have more teams tht go threw
So it sounds like the USA will qualify always now
I think after how much they’ve grown as a soccer country, that was going to be the case anyway.

@@irvingamer2235 huh?
Since Champions League will have Swiss format, why won't FIFA do the same, but as a group stage?
Divide 48 teams into 8 groups of 6. But teams play 3 of these 5 opponents.
For example, let's say there is a group of:
-Brazil (Pot 1)
-Germany (Pot 2)
-South Korea (Pot 3)
-Poland (Pot 4)
-Egypt (Pot 5)
-Panama (Pot 6)
If you're Poland, you'll play either best and worst (Brazil & Panama) or second to best and worst (Germany & Egypt), plus South Korea.
If you're Brazil, you'll play either South Korea & Panama or Poland & Egypt, plus Germany.
Top 4 eventually qualifies for Round 32, but an alternative formula where group leaders qualify for Round 16 and second & third placed teams for Round 24 can be discussed as well.
Although it won't change the number of matches, at least if will eliminated the idea of "best third placed teams" ranking, which is a buzz killer in Euros for teams waiting to qualify for days and for random knockout stage draws.
A 4 group version of this can be used for Euros, AFCON and Asia as well.
I must be a traditionalist because I think the Swiss format is bad too. I feel like we had the perfect format and now it’s just a mess!
@@NitroFooty I agree that the format should not have been changed for either World Cup or Champions League. 8x4 was a simple yet the best group format. But eventually it happened due to team expansion. Probably three decades later, we will discuss about 64 teams too.
Split the world cups one for the elites/big teams while the other for amateur/lower teams
No that's a terrible idea
I don’t like that at all
