    And now the World Cup will have 48 teams, which means more matches, which means more weeks of the tournament, which means more money. I remember the idea of the World Cup occurring every two years being floated around and it wouldn’t surprise me if that ends up happening.

    2020 was obviously a write-off year, but it’s striking how poorly it did 2015-2017. Maybe it has to do with all the trials.
