FIFA PROPOSES World Cup happening every 2 years

[ParthianDE]

World cup every two years with more teams and Iran at #22 FIFA rating (and in that range for years)...

-- pretty much means Iran will be in the world cup every time from now on!

I have mixed feelings. Having it once every 4 years really makes it an intense and unique worldwide experience. But it does really suck to watch your team play 3 games, and then wait 4 years again to potentially see them play again. Seems like it is just a proposal so far? I actually would vote to make it every 3 years, that would be purely positive in my opinion.

Why is it a sad day for football? its actually good news for true fans of the sport, specially the ones living in any other continent other than Europe!
The people who are against it fail to realise that UEFA is the one that is by far the greediest organisation, FIFA is a second but no where near UEFA. People say the calendar doesn't allow for a World Cup every two years? but does it really? Why is that?
Because UEFA fills their calendar with useless tournaments just to make money at the expense of fans around the world and the players? Do we really need to have a Nations League? do we really need to have Europa League? how about UEFA Super cup?
Why do countries like France and Portugal and Germany need to play useless games against Luxembourg or Andorra in Euro zone qualifying?
we can eliminate all of these coopetition along with useless first round of qualifying (in Europe and Asia specially) and still have plenty of time for a World Cup.

considering we struggle to get decent friendlies and always have to play a bunch of arab teams, I think this would be good for TM to get more exposure on a more regular basis

Excellent replies!

Baba bikhial. This is only proposal, nothing decided yet. Arsen Wenger has been appointed by fifa to discuss this with federations and national team coaches.
