导出博客文章LONDON -- FIFA President Gianni Infantino has suggested having 16 three-team
groups if the World Cup expands to 48 countries.Members of the FIFA Council
received a recommendation from world soccers governing body setting out five
proposed formats for its showpiece event from 2026 -- two 48-team team options,
two 40-team options and sticking at 32.---48 TEAMSInfantino first advocated a
new, opening playoff round for 32 of the 48 finalists. The 16 winners would then
join 16 seeded teams to begin a 32-team group stage that follows the current
World Cup format.But with 16 teams going home after only one game, that idea met
with opposition at a meeting of 20 FIFA member nations in Paris last month.Ahead
of a meeting of Asian soccer nations in Singapore this week, Infantino drew up a
new configuration for a 48-team World Cup that FIFA hopes is easier to
understand.All qualifying nations would start out in 16 groups of three teams.
The top two teams advance to a new round of 32, with the bottom-place team going
home after two matches. The finalists would still play a total of seven games,
limiting potential opposition from clubs who send their players on international
duty.But only having three games in each group raises the possibility of teams
being hard to separate on points, goals scored or goal difference. FIFA is
exploring how to determine which teams advance in that scenario, with
administrators mulling if penalty shootouts could be used for bonus points.---40
TEAMSInfantino championed a mathematically-clunky 40-team World Cup before being
elected in February.Although Sepp Blatters successor no longer backs this plan,
two options will still be on the table when the FIFA Council meets in January.
There could be eight groups of five teams or 10 groups of four.---32 TEAMSFor
the World Cup in Russia in 2018 and Qatar in 2022, there will be no change to
the 32-team format that has existed since 1998.However, with Infantinos term
ending in 2019, giving more countries a chance to play on world soccers biggest
stage would be a popular move among many federations.Everyone sees that the
increase of the participation for the World Cup is really a tool to promote
football in more countries, Infantino said last month.---Rob Harris is at

Brazilian striker Neymar says he is officially a Barcelona player. Neymar said
he signed a five-year contract agreement with the Spanish powerhouse on Monday,
two days after announcing that he decided to pick the Catalan club instead of
Real Madrid. "Im sad to be leaving Santos, but its a great honour to be signing
with a club like Barcelona and to be able to play with some of the best players
in the world," Neymar said. The 21-year-old Brazilian will be joining a
star-filled roster that already includes four-time FIFA Player of the Year
Lionel Messi, Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta. Neither Neymar nor Barcelona
released financial details of the transfer, but Brazilian media said the Spanish
club will pay about (euro)30 million for the youngster. Santos had fielded
offers from Barcelona and Real Madrid and said it was up to Neymar to decide
where he wanted to play. Neymar posted a message on Twitter and Instagram
announcing his departure from the Brazilian club where he has thrived since he
began playing professionally as a teenager in 2009. "Here it ends this wonderful
passage with a special club," Neymar said. "Thank you for everything. Ill keep
these moments with me my entire life.&quoot; Neymar led Santos to its
greatest run since Pele stopped playing for the club in the 1970s.dddddddddddd
He helped Santos win the 2010 Brazilian Cup, the 2011 Copa Libertadores and
three straight Sao Paulo state championships. He remains the clubs leading
scorer in the post-Pele era with 138 goals in 230 matches. Neymars father,
Neymar Silva Santos, said that on Monday they signed a contract establishing the
terms of the transfer, and a final document will be signed in Spain by Santos,
his son and Barcelona. Neymar will join up with Brazils Confederations Cup squad
on Tuesday and is expected to travel to Spain for his official introduction to
Barcelona fans on June 2 after the national teams friendly against England at
the Maracana. He wanted to play one last match with Santos at the Vila Belmiro
Stadium, but the Brazilian football federation did release him from the national
teams preparation for the Confederations Cup. Neymar said he doesnt mind if he
is not given the No. 11 jersey that he was used to wearing with Santos and
Brazil. "Lets see whats available, thats not going to be a problem," he said.
Neymar also said that he still wasnt sure whether his family would make the move
to Barcelona with him.
