Biennial World Cup
Does that appeal to you? Do you think it’s good for the game.
Monsieur Wenger seems to be right behind it. Can’t say it gets my juices flowing. The elite game is going to shit. https://www.theguardian.com/football...e_iOSApp_Other |

it's a shit idea.
The beauty of playing it every four years is the anticipation in the weeks leading up to it. More so than the Euros. That will just get dissipated/diluted if this goes ahead. It's a power struggle between egotistical @#%&!s yet again, with no regard for anything else. |

I’ve not read into it but I’m assuming they’ll be pushing for the Euros to follow suit? So eventually we’ll have international tournaments every year, players being run into the ground and a general sense of lethargy among both the players and the fans.
International tournaments are so hit and miss too. Not a fan of this. |

It's genuinely one of the worst ideas ever proposed within the game.
The World Cup is one of the only things remaining in football from a puritan perspective that hasn't been completely poisoned, and the fact it was awarded to Qatar has already tainted it to a large degree. Hopefully that joke of a tournament in the winter of 2022 is a one-off transgression, but permanently switching it to a rolling 2-year cycle would damage it beyond recognition. It's the biggest tournament in the world, of any sport, largely because it's a rare event played twice a decade. |

It’s purely about money
FIFA have been incredibly jealous of UEFA for years due to the success of the CL and the overall wealth of European football Horrible idea and Wenger should be embarrassed he’s even involved in this The uniqueness of the World Cup like the Olympics is that it is every 4 years Make it every 2 years and it’s just becomes meh |

Michael Owen and John Terry are consulting. Surprised at Wenger though. Maybe he is still salty at being turfed from Arsenal. |

Hopefully there is a similar force at work within these discussions, and the money men don't get their way. Very disappointed in Wenger, FWiW. Really did not have him down as this type of guy. |
