At first I thought 'Nah' but then I saw it was being put forward by Arsene Wenger so I thought well he's not daft, so let's see what he's got to say
Article here
Although I'm still not entirely convinced, there are some merits to his case
- better opportunities for small countries to be involved in the finals
- more money generated would be invested in football development worldwide
- more opportunities to target young talent that would otherwise not get a chance
- much simpler qualifying system meaning travelling for qualifying games will be reduced by over 50%
There are arguments against all of these points of course but the last one is the best one for me
Please read the article and give it a bit of thought before dismissing out of hand thank you
