And we all know that. matched

And I think even discussing it is having 64 teams coming out of a group of 211 member associations of FIFA and matched

It makes no sense whatsoever. matched

I mean, we don't know. matched

I mean, I know we're in the post-truth age and we're in, you know, past the time where we actually care about things and things actually mean anything, but that's insane. matched

That is absolutely insane. matched

The only thing I can say is that matched

64, in a way, is better than 48 because two of each group qualify. matched

That's okay. matched

Now, would Jenny think of a system by which you could have a round of 64? matched

I'm sure you would, yeah. matched

You know, why not? matched

Why the heck not? matched

They don't have the right to do that. matched

Can we just say that, that they don't have the right to do that because that's a change to the laws of the game and that should be a decision taken by IFAB and that they don't have, FIFA does not have the right to take unilateral decisions like this. matched
