why don't they just invite every team?
and make the tournament 5 months long?
and shorten the club season to 5 months?
with a one month break between the two?

>4th game of group stage
>it's 6 on 8 because all the other players are suspended with yellow accumulation
>>69534106

So another spot for every confederation?
>>69534059
This could be alright actually, teams couldn't just blag their way through the group like in the euros

if they dont change that rule for yellow cards that what we will see
>>69534216

>if player receives a red, he misses the next match
>if player receives a yellow in consecutive matches, he misses the next match
>exception: all players are available for the final and third place matches, regardless of card status.
