Good news for the All Whites?
Bad.
Under current format we get 2 meaningful games every 4 years, one of which is at home. 5 games if we qualify.
Now we get 2 games every 4 years. Plus one game for each stage we qualify for. We'd need to reach the quarterfinals to get 5 games.
Even if we qualify for the knockout stages, it wouldn't really mean anything - especially if we got there by beating a team in a penalty shootout.
Not to mention 32 teams was perfection. This new format is much worse. The one good thing FIFA did was the World Cup, and now they've gone and ruined it so they could win an election.
