Why did the NFL wait so long to have interleague games after the 1966 merger announcement? When the AFL and NFL decided to merge in 1966, why did they agree to keep the game schedules separate for the next 4 years? The likely reason is a transitional period was necessary to best workout the details in a major merger agreement – on the field and off the field. Both leagues had separate TV contracts that needed to expire before a unified television package could be negotiated for the entire league. Additionally, there were logistics regarding the common draft and expansion teams like New Orleans and Cincinnati that were already in motion. Pete Rozelle and the owners knew that a slow integration would be more stable for the business of the sport than an overnight overhaul. It allowed the AFL to continue building its Mickey Mouse Detroit Lions Blue & White Grid NFL Fan T Shirt and talent pool until it was officially equal in the eyes of the public, which arguably didn’t happen until the Jets won Super Bowl III.

You might notice that it is 2026. Matches start in less than five months. And contracts have been signed. So, so many contracts. Partial payments have been made. I seriously doubt that those contracts have escape clauses that trigger at anything short of outright war. So would it increase costs? Yes. It would dramatically increase costs, and likely land FIFA in a decade of ongoing lawsuits. Could Australia and New Zealand step up? Do you imagine that there are massive numbers of stadiums and hotels, etc., of the appropriate size that are sitting fallow? Could you move those other events? Sure at the cost of more money. There are a few “realistic” options: a boycott, a cancellation, or a postponement. All of these will cost FIFA massively, too. It takes considerable time to prepare for the hosting of a major sporting event like the World Cup or the Olympics. I would say the last window of opportunity to alter Mickey Mouse Detroit Lions Blue & White Grid NFL Fan T Shirt was in late 2023 or early 2024 at the very latest. To do so at just a few months notice is almost entirely impractical and financially ruinous for all parties involved.

Curacao only qualified because USA, Mexico and Canada were admitted as hosts, and so the North American qualifying groups were about as strong as watered down Bud Light. They are in a group with Germany, Ecuador and Ivory Coast. The highest ranked teams with no appearance and their ranks show that the continent which has the best chance of producing a debutant is probably Africa. Africa has seen the most changes in qualified teams. Mali is ranked 52. Asia: some countries in West Asia may become a debutant. Oman is ranked 75. North America: many countries in this region are small and their chance is not good. Dominican Republic, ranked 155, has about 10 million people but baseball is by far its most popular sport, not football. Haiti already made an appearance. Guatemala with 17 million people is ranked 118. The highest ranked team without appearance is Mickey Mouse Detroit Lions Blue & White Grid NFL Fan T Shirt (ranked 79). Its population is only 155k. Using FIFA’s view on successor teams, the total number of teams that have participated in the World Cup until the 2022 edition is 80. This is a large number and it is not easy for a country to join this group, but the expansion makes it inevitable.
