    The next ones going to have 48 teams I believe, which means there's quite a few new countries looking like they could qualify. Uzbekistan and Jordan are looking likely to qualify. Guatemala and Nicaragua have had a fair start in their qualification campaign, which doesn't include the US or Mexico. Cape Verde and D.R Congo currently on track to qualify too.

    We'll be back to when I was a kid, and I think Zaire, lost 12-0 in the finals.

    Thirty-two teams means that some countries miss out, but as the game as leveled-out across the world, the finals matches have been much closer.

    To be fair we'd have hit Panama for double figures in 2018 if we hadn't declared at half time.

    They weren't sure of the rules, Zaire.

    And the whole stadium went mental! I can't ever remember being pleased about an opposition goal before, but I was honestly made up for Panama when they scored.

    Lots of games played in empty stadiums and with no one watching on whatever media streams are available by then.
    A few thousand supporters of countries that have rarely qualified will get their day out in the sun but for the rest of us it will be a dilution of the product.

    Assuming we still have to qualify, we can presumably look forward to games against the likes of Gibraltar, Faroe Islands, and San Marino etc
