“Unless you take Europe out of the World Cup, then it becomes pointless.”

Nonsense!
South America 10 WC won.
Europe 13 WC won.

Its not much of a difference.
Brazil has won more WC’s than any other country.

Money?
So tell us... what continent is China with their mighty economy on?
Answer : Asia not Europe.

Same with Japan, South Korea etc.
Europe cannot dictate to anybody.

And if Europe doesn’t show up South America will win. Without facing European competition. Not much of a World Cup.

Cute how you studiously ignore all the poor countries in Asia. Pakistan, India, Bangladesh. A lot more than rich countries. And keep in mind even some of the countries we think of as rich, have no real success in world soccer. China has only qualified for the Cup once. They LOVE to have Europe sit out.

The facts are the facts. And the fact is bribing the poor countries has kept corrupt in charge of FIFA for 30 years. It’s a tried and true method.
