This cant be realThey have 8 years and infinite money
>>152547632what the FUCK is that stadium
>>152547634The classic "scam the Saudis because theyre mental 8-year-olds with a magic Credit card"-scheme. Whatever makes the Saudis go "woah" is gonna get funding.
>>152547632Saudi Arabia is wasting money and resources with >The Line
>>152547648>do feel like a retard yet *impregnates his cousin https://youtu.be/c3q_d9E8ejc
They JUST need to reduce the height of The Line a bit.
They’ll have everything ready by 2034

>>152547632Just look at the original stadium designs, like the OP thumbnail. This shit is impossible. Remember Qatar also lied about their stadiums, they initially said they would host during the summer because of air-conditioned stadiums; the stadium designs also were more ambitious at first. Even these megalomania desert states don't plan on building all this crazy stuff - they lie and cheat to make themselves look better at first, and then they conveniently drop a lot of stuff, because they know they can get away with it. Bribing FIFA officials is cheaper than building these stadiumsNot to mention that they're letting Saudi Arabia host this tournament alone. They need 16 stadiums with 40,000 seats. 20 if they expand to 64 teams, which is a real possibility. What do they need them for in the long run?
>>152547632Turns out building a bunch of AI Generated wonder-stadiums, much like building a giant wall city, is easier punched into a machine than realized in reality.
>>152547648Oil prices are down, a lot of their side-investments are forecasting down, some methed out 32 year old Arab Billionaire's biggest dreams simply are unattainable even with a Trillion Dollars and half of South Asia's manpower.
>>152547632These people are so fucking lucky that the place they settled is right above huge oil reserves. An unlimited money glitch, and yet they struggle to do anything of value with it. And they are so scummy about it, as can be seen in moments like this. One can only hope they blow it all away. It would be a monumental feat, but it seems they are actually tryingImagine if these oil reserves somehow ended up below Europe, South America, or basically any other place. The Arabian Peninsula would arguably be the most irrelevant region in the world, and FIFA would have to chase other corrupt assholes' cash
>>152549635>if they expand to 64 teamswould italy finally qualify?
>>152547632Finally, a real life Blitzball stadium.
>>152549704UEFA would get 20 spots at best, maybe 18. Now it's 16, it used to be 13 when there still were 32 participantsSo if Italy fail this time, they will likely fail againThe expansion would probably target Asia first and foremost so that China can finally get in
>>152549762Compare the start of the 48 team one with the start of the 32 team era, pls. Back then, UEFA could also get a maximum of 16 spots. 14 direct spots + 1 TH spot (6/7 times won by a UEFA team) + host got a direct spot (every other one was hosted in Europe). Now UEFA only get a PO spot if held in Europe (less often and no guarantee for 2030; ICPO might grow to 8 teams with only 1 from UEFA). Most of the time it'll just be the 16 spots, unless FIFA take a spot away again after a couple of trnys.
>>152547632>and infinite moneynot anymore lol. buying everything is catching up to them now that the everything they own don't make money.
>>152549700Just look at Texas, they get to pretend they're a rich and powerful state like California or New York even though they're mostly a barren desert mixed with Tornado Alley
>>152547634Pokémon style
