      As a soccer fan, I'd love to see national teams play more at a high level. However, I worry about a few things if two new tournaments were added on a quadrennial or biennial schedule. First, the players. They are already playing in many games per season with a short off season. Even shorter when there are international tournaments. Secondly, the devaluation of existing competitions and titles. This seems like another potentially sketchy deal involving FIFA, and as their track record shows, they are not above profiteering at the expense of the beautiful game, human rights and fans.
