Queiroz critiques World Cup expansion despite Ghana's advancement

Ghana head coach Carlos Queiroz expressed concerns over the expansion of the World Cup format following a 2-1 defeat to Croatia. Ghana still progressed to the Round of 32, where they will face Colombia on July 3 in Kansas City. Queiroz, an experienced international manager, argued that increasing the number of qualifying teams diminishes the significance of the tournament. He believes the World Cup should remain a rare and prestigious event. Despite his criticism, multiple teams, including DR Congo and South Africa, have achieved historic milestones this summer due to the new format.
