If you can’t qualify even with 3 extra spots, you don’t deserve to be there. Simple as that.

Shit article. Does not say “who” is complaining and provides no sources.

Italy literally lost AT HOME in the previous playoff.

Who is complaining really? Like specifically who?
If you’re not good enough to be on those 16 spots, well shit. We can’t have 32 spots just because everyone wants a go.

My only issue with qualifying in Europe is that our playoffs are only against European teams. Do intercontinental playoffs like others do.
Ireland had to beat Czechia & Denmark to qualify, imagine if we got New Caledonia & DR Congo instead.

Home advantage for these crucial games is stupid and needs to change.
To the other point, indeed there are European teams that didn’t make it that are definitely better than some African or Asian teams, but it’s also hard to balance and have fair representation from all over the world.

Why not do it like they did for the intercontinental playoff, and play the playoffs in a neutral country?
