Should fifa expand the confederations cup?
I was wondering, and fantasizing about the positivity of seen the best in the world going at it literally two years in a row. I read an article that gave a decent proposition on which teams should be invited. As of now the following teams make it to the confederations cup, the world cup champ, the upcoming world cup host, and the six Champs of the six confederations like afc, caf, ocf, uefa, concacaf, and conmebol. How about if eight more teams were allowed like the confederations cup defending champ, world cup runner-up, and runner up of each of the continental competitions. The competitions that take place every two, years like CAF and gold cup may take the two Champs or if the champ repeats the two runner ups play a two legged playoff
if they did it by 2017 this would be the teams:
wc champ :germany, wc runner-up :argentina, 2018 wc host: Russia, 2013 confederations cup champ:brazil, 2015 caf champ:ivory coast, 2017 caf champ:tbd, 2016 uefa champ and runner-up : tbd, copa america champ: chile, copa america runner up: argentina but Peru takes its place, 2015 afc champ: australia, afc runner up:south Korea, 2013 gold cup champ: usa, 2015 gold cup champ: tbd, 2016 of nations cup champ and runner up: tbd. I think it will add excitement and give us fans a chance to see the good teams going at it again

No but if it where it should only be winners and runner ups of the different confederate tournaments. No because it should be the host, World Cup winner, and separate confederations tournament winners. It will also screw up the local soccer leagues (BPL, La Liga, etc). More injuries, more money invested, etc. And people don't care about the Confederations Cup as much as the World Cup.

I dont think so. The only thing I am concerned about is whether an Oceanic team should be included. For the last two Confed cups their representatives New Zealand aand Tahiti respectively were relatively poor. Tahiti even lost 10-0 to Spain. Also Australlia had to be removed from that confederation because it was too easy for them to win.

No. Confederations cup is suppose to be a preview of the World cup, so expanding would basically be a mini World cup and it also defeats the purpose of who should participate because its basically for champions of respective tournaments.
I do think the World cup should be expanded.
