40-team World Cup
So FIFA has decided to slip this proposal through the back door:

But it has staunch opposition (include myself):

I dislike the idea of a 40-team World Cup as it would dilute the tournament, which I feel is perfect as of now. Also, once a team gets there, the proposed format looks like 8 groups of 5 with the top 2 advancing, it would be more challenging to get out of the group, and 8 teams would not play on the final match day which could lead to collusion. All in all, I think it's a horrible idea, and I hope the ECA puts enough (financial) weight behind its opposition to stop FIFA.
