48 Teams. Was It Worth It?

The biggest World Cup in history promised three things: more football, more inclusion, more upsets. Now that we're deep in the quarterfinals, the data is in. This video goes through each of FIFA's three claims for the 48-team format one by one — what actually happened, what the numbers say, and why the answer to every question turns out to be: it depends on what you were watching for. Compound World covers the events, decisions, and power structures that shape the world — economics, finance, sports, and beyond. Grounded in real data. No hot takes. No manufactured outrage. #WorldCup2026 #FIFA #WorldCup #football #48teams #sportsanalysis #animatedexplainer #TheOffside #CompoundWorld #footballanalysis
