Stop worrying about my korma and start worrying about Spain winning. You have been distracted and it’s showing.

Squad size increase would be of no benefit (fatigue wise)to the same 11-15 players continually picked by managers.It would only work if managers where told they had to use upwards of 20/25 players for an agreed amount of time with no players playing more than say 75% of minutes.

Fair points.
Something else I only just thought about was the cost to the individual FA’s having to support so many players/staff for so long. I reckon bar maybe 10 FA’s, most would probably not be in a position to financially deal with so many people being supported whilst away from home.

Clubs could also end up losing players for pre-season and maybe even the first few games of the season after this world cup which could have an impact on their success.
It wouldn’t surprise me to see players retiring early from international football due to these extended tournaments.
