@pincigoat "@Soccer_Stats @nathangreennn Going to XX is exagerated I agree and I hope it won't happen. The increase from XX to XX was logical as the amount of national teams has kept increasing. The increase from XX to XX was made when we had XXX FIFA nations which is basically the same proportion as now"

"@DasNullEck @thehuwdavies If AFC wanted fairness they could have played Qatar's group in Saudi and Saudi's group in Qatar. But of course they wouldn't do that🙂 Also they used a "special release" of the FIFA Rankings in order to be able to have both Saudi & Qatar in separate groups🙃"

"@Soccer_Stats @nathangreennn in 1966 there were XX national teams for XX qualified (and i'm kind to not go further back in time) which is XXXX% of qualified teams in 1982 they jumped to XX teams (out of 110) = XXXX% Now with XX out of XXX it's XXXX% so it's still more or less the same proportion as before"

"@DasNullEck @thehuwdavies no they bought it. Playing decisive games in single-legs on arbitrarily-decided home turf with more rest than its opponents (also arbitrarily decided) is an absolute scandal"

"@DasNullEck @thehuwdavies If AFC had made a draw and it had decided Qatar and Saudi it would have been fine. The fact that it is arbitrarily chosen makes it a biased competition"

"@DasNullEck @thehuwdavies WC/Euros/AsianCups being held in an arbitrarily chosen country makes sense bc not all countries are capable to host and usually there's only X or X candidates. This round of qualifying could have easily happened in Iraq Indonesia UAE Oman just like Rounds XXX and 5"

"@DasNullEck @thehuwdavies Well refereeing mistakes happen I wasn't even talking about that kind of advantage (neither Saudi or Qatar were helped by the refs so it's not my point) But more about the travel climate atmosphere (which may or may not influence the referee)"

"@RickyxLaw @OneFootball I've watched USA Italy as an italian fan. Our X appeals in the last minutes were ridiculous the ref has to look at normal challenges or blatant dives bc they just called video reviews as last hopes 😅"

"@degilmiayseabla @tomhfh Countries have modified names in different languages for a reason. English doesn't pronounce the Turkish r the and "iye" doesn't make the same sound as in Turkish. Same with other languages using Turquie Turchia Turkije"

"@DasNullEck @thehuwdavies No but the host is decided either by a draw or by pots and the rules are known already. Saudi and Qatar were arbitrarily chosen as hosts and decided only after the 3rd Round that's the difference"

"@DasNullEck @thehuwdavies It's a draw. It's luck. But the rules are clear and known in advance. It's not arbitrarily picked by the confederation"
