What's the point of world Cup if teams from different continents are in the same seeding pot?
If I wanted USA-IRAN to happen it won't, they are in the same seeding pot. Sure Africa might be in the same seeding as South America but they have atleast 3 teams in the first seeding pot consisting of worlds top 7 teams. Which brings me to the ranking how the hell will teams like USA or Iran come even close to being the top seven, when they are both In pretty shitty confederations
So how should the world Cup draw even be adjusted, when the current fails to add the diversity of most teams competing each other.
>>
They're in the same pot because pots are 8 teams and only one confederation gets more than 8 teams
>>
there's too many teams and too many guys that are there just to "participate", no way to avoid countries of the same continent meeting each other all the time. World Cup should have no more than 24 teams.

If you want to fix it, you need to go fully random. You could end up with a group of 1 AFC, 1 CAF, 1 UEFA, and 1 OFC or you could end with a group of 4 South American teams.
However, that will never happen because they want the big money countries to have an easier chance to move deeper in the tournament.

That´s your problem, you want a match to happen because reasons outside football (politics or whatever).

32 was, is, and will be the best format for eternity

Wrong. 32 is max. For all I care they could narrow it down to 24.
More teams = lower overall quality. It brings in more money though which seems to be all that matters.
Did you watch the last Euro? Too many boring games with filler-teams. Not to mention the group stage being reduced to a joke where you gain more by not losing than from going for the win.
Maybe I am completely delusional but in my world a cup should be the best of the best, not lots of random filler-teams. FIFA/EUFA are watering down their product this way.

48 teams system is not yet set, but afair it would be a fake 32 teams system.
16 top teams directly qualifies for the 8 groups, while the other 32 teams do 1 barrage match to be able to enter the groups
That gives 32 teams, just like now.
Because you can't devise a 48 teams system which is good
>12 groups of 4?
winners of each group advance + 4 best seconds
>8 groups of 6?
group stage takes way too long
>16 groups of 3?
could easily result in a lot of ties in the groups (exact same points, goals scored, etc.)

What Sweden is trying to say is:
>Why are 5 continents and the groups are consisted of 4 teams?
Sweden is retarded.
Don't be like sweden.
