The United States, Mexico and Canada are in the running to host the 2026 World Cup, but a final decision hasn't been made.
With the final tournament being expanded from 32 to 48 teams, there is a need for a new system.
The size of the World Cup was increased from 48 teams to 64 in January of 2017: the top two teams from each of the 16 groups advanced to the knockout stage.
There will be news and features at the World Cup.
The two teams in the final group fixture could play out a specific result to send both teams through at the expense of the other. Even if you put a penalty shootout on the end of every group stage game, it wouldn't overcome teams playing out a specific score that suited both.
At the news conference on Sunday, he said that three options were being considered. There is a suggestion that there would be 12 groups of four teams with the best teams progressing to the next round. There are three options to split the World Cup into two parts, each with six groups of four teams. The winner of the first half would play the winner of the second half.
It will be 16 groups of three, 12 groups of four, or two sides of six groups of four, similar to the way you organize two 24 teams.
I won't be able to make a decision, but I think it will be done in the next year.
The World Cup matches will be held in New York/New Jersey, Los Angeles, Dallas, San Francisco Bay Area, and Miami.
