Would you prefer the World Cup to be played each 2 years or each 4 years?

as well as the Euro.

The Euro can be played on 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, ...
The WCs can be played on 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015, ...

So that each year we can watch a big competition, a WC or a Euro, while changing the way that nations' teams qualify for the WC and the Euro.

Also, would this diminish the importance of the Champions League?

.
@Sasan, I didn't say WC every year. Having WC and Euro played every 2 years, with WC played at a year and then the next year being for Euro and then WC and so on, will result that we have an important competition every year.

@Fresh Prince Euro is a smaller version of WC. Another thing, what applies to the Euro can apply to other competitions. If you prefer Copa America, you would have Copa America or WC every year, if you prefer Euro, you would have Euro or WC every year. (I mean where the team you support participate).

@ al, i said the way teams qualify should be changed which means that less matches would be played.
@ carlo_rossi

1) Assume that the number of matches for qualifying from Europe is divided by 2 (approximately). (for both competitions, WC and Euro).
At a year when the world cup is played and as a 4-year competition would have the same number of matches as a year when the world cup is played as a 2-year competition. The same thing applies for Euro.
What I mean, is that qualifying would not be the same as it is now.

2) Is not a problem at all, the host country would know before several years that it will be hosting the competition. There would be no difference.

That would be fantastic........but I think the Champion's League would still be important because it's representing a club.

Great idea. The World Cup has become so big that every two years would work great. Why wait every four years to have a world champion.

[M4rkyd0234]

all very well but players play over 60 games a season,and they would find it hard to have a competition every year after there long season.

Great Idea!!! I would like the world cup to be every 2 years and then the euro cup to be the other years

[elGato-ontheprowl]

As a fan, yes, as much international competition as possible. It would devalue the championship, however. Think how many stars Italy would have by 2030, or Brasil?

[StefyAUPAATLETI]

I actually like it the way it is now... if it was so close in time then some of the importance for it would kinda leave. By that I mean the time we wait is the more energy and excitement that builds up. But as a fan of the sport I would like that!

I think it is a great idea too, and I don't think the Champions League would be hurt by it. The World Cup comes and goes too fast for how long you have to wait for it, and holding it every 2 years would give more players more opportunity to play on the world stage. I hate it when a great player only gets to play in one or two Cups because he only has so many years of peak play. Not to mention the money it would generate for countries across the world every 2 years instead of every 4 years.

If it's every two years, it won't be as special. Meet halfway and say every 3 years. Make it on the year Euro or Copa America isn't being played. As well as U20 cup, but make that every 4 years. And Champions League is becoming less special because its every year. And the Club Cup is important too. But there are 365 days in a year. I'm sure they'll work something out. And there are over 5,000 proffessional players. And over 200 teams and clubs.
