it takes a long time to organise and for all the nations to prepare and compete........\n\nit incidentally also reduces the chances of a successful team immediately repeating their success on the strength of players alone.....   very healthy for the competition and the sport in general.......

The world cup teams are put together by citizens of each nation.  This is usually based off of the country of origin of the player.  But some players that have played in an international league for an extended period of time can get citizenship in that country thus allowing them to play for that country or their country of birth.

I think FIFA chose the head to head as a break from the norm.9 times out of ten the head to head always ensures the better team goes through.It's a better soloution than goal difference imo

The best way to go about it is having 32 people each chip in an amount of money and each choose a team, since everybody wants Brazil you might want to make it random.  But if you want to do it with little squares...seems impossible

FIFA allows nationalized players to play for their "adoptive" country.  In cases of double nationalities, the players can choose which country to represent.\n\nThis happens very, very often and usually because of one of these two reasons:\n\na)  A player is very very good (e.g. Klose, Podolski) and would definitely make the team in either of its two nationality countries.  Commonly he would choose to play in the "bigger" team since that would allow him a better shot at say, winning the World Cup.\n\nb)  The player is good enough to make it to the national team of his adoptive country but not his country of birth. (e.g.  Guille Franco).  He was born in Argentina but there is no way on Earth he would be chosen for that team, he just wouldn't cut it.  After he nationalized Mexican, he was immediately chosen for the Mexican squad and he now can afford to play in the world cup and is actually one of the better players of that team.

The first team qualifies automatically by being the Host of the event. This year's WC, Germany is the Host. That's why they qualify 1st.

because starting this world cup, the holders have to qualify for the world cup. so, brazil had to play in the qualifying rounds to qualify for 2006 world cup. that is why now on, the hosts will play in the inaugural match. if we were to continue with the holders playing the opening match, then there is a real possibility that the holders may not qualify for the next world cup. just look at Greece, they may not qualify for the next european championship.

Normally, a country that wants to be a host would announce it to FIFA. FIFA then would select a country from all the candidate countries. The selection is made years in advance (8 years I think) so that a country can prepare for the tournament.

this is only the first round.  they cannot go beyond the first round until all  teams have finished, then they will bring up a brand new schedule.  Its why the World Cup lasts a month.

It's a process, like the Olympic Committee has for choosing what country gets the Olympics.  The process takes years, that is why we usually know years in advance where it is going to be held.  All the countries that would like to host the World Cup submit their forms, giving reasons why they should get it.  Then FIFA sends out committees to look at stadiums, transportation structure, roadways, hotels, general areas.  Then they narrow them down , and finally make a selection.

Each of the four nations which make up the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland has their own Football Association.  So for FIFA or UEFA sponsored events the individual nations represent themselves.

My sentiments exactly. Football (soccer) has been around far longer than American football, so I fail to see why the rest of the world should start calling football by a different name to fit in with one country. American football involves the hands rather than the feet, so why it is known as football anyway is beyond me.\n\nThe hint is in the quote you gave; ''when is the rest of the world going to get the terminology right?''  I suggest that if the whole world except one country calls them footballers, then this is the correct terminology.\n\nTo me 'soccer players' will always be footballers.

In europe a lot of teams own thier stadiums.Like,Barca(Neu Camp),Valencia(Mestalla),AC Milan(San Siro),Juventes(Delli Albi),Real Madrid(Sentiagou Bernabiou),Manchester United(Mellinium Stadium),Arsenal(Hiegbury),& many other teams which I don't remmember now.In Africa,the most of the teams don't own the Stadium,In egypt as an example,AL Ahly,the greatest team in Africa,the stadium which they play thier official matches at is not them,it's Cairo International Stadium,it's owned by the Country & they rent it.They have a small stadium which hold the youth games & friendly matches.In many other countries,the greatest teams in the country which be one or two plays on the stadium of teh country.\nI hope I covered your question.\n:)

Canada, like every other country, has to qualify through tournaments. In Canada's case, this is CONCACAF (composed mainly of north american nations). They must place highly in this in order to qualify for World Cup (top 2 i think).\n\nYes Canada does have a men's team. Not a very good one. Ranked about 90th in the world. Its hard enough to even put it together and train, considering their are players playing all over the world.

I'm afraid it's not going to be possible. All squads are finalized on the eve of the World Cup, and no changes can be made thereafter.
