For God's sake make una dead these takes.
1978 World Cup had just 16 teams.
If they didn't increase it to 24 teams in 1982, Nigeria would probably not have qualified in 1994.
Would anyone say we were undeserving because it was our first time?
By 1998, it was increased to 32 teams and now 48 teams, and we failed to qualify, lol, even with a lot more chances to do so.
The essence of the World Cup is to make more people around the world get and feel included.
Or maybe they have just left it at the 16 teams it usually was so that only South American and European countries would participate.
How much of a "World" Cup would it be then?
Having a hydration break in the pouring rain just minutes after a long stoppage where all the players took on fluids anyway.
What a fucking farce FIFA have created.
