You really need to stop reading millennial hacks sybille.

It's a fucking study. And of course UEFA don't like it.

I can't say I'm a fan, however: "166 of FIFA's 210 national associations have given their backing to the research into the idea".

Everyone wants to host a World Cup.

But the idea of compressing all the international breaks into a shorter period is long overdue.

Not every change is bad. Not that I paid much attention to that Euro Nations League shite.

Following a proposal by the Saudi Arabian Football Federation in May, FIFA is now carrying out a feasibility study into the practicalities of altering the World Cup cycle from four years to two, meaning that continental championships (like the Gold Cup, European Championship and Copa America) would be sandwiched in the alternate years. The study is being led by former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger (now FIFA's Chief of Global Football Development) and 166 of FIFA's 210 national associations have given their backing to the research into the idea
