How do you know this? A size 140 Arsenal jersey wearer I know would beg to differ, the Quatar catastrophe being clear for any age to understand. How do you think it would be inferior? The rules of football would be respected, and also it would match EA's official console football game!
- smcl 4y agoIf your Arsenal-supporting friend sincerely believes that a rival World Cup would go anywhere at all, then they're a little bit naive and don't really understand the game. Qatar could end up being (more of) a catastrophe, and heads may roll at FIFA but the FIFA World Cup isn't getting replaced any time soon.

- smcl 4y agoAh sorry I did not get the "size 140" reference, it's in a sizing format I'm not familiar with! As a former-kid who had his own dreams (Scotland winning the World Cup) which have had to be progressively scaled back as I grew up (Scotland qualifying for the World Cup) I sympathise, and I hope your Arsenal pal gets to see the tournament they dream of :)
- dalmo3 4y agoYou just need to look back at Arsenal's (and others') last year's proposal for an European Super League and the massive backlash resulting, which made them not only drop it (for now) but also, hilariously, also agree to pay fines to UEFA for conspiracy to treason or something. EA dumping FIFA is a good thing to kickstart the mere idea of competition against FIFA's monopoly (and by extension continental bodies), but any actionable outcome is still decades away.
