Clarifying user request
I see that the user sent a message in Chinese discussing the 48-team World Cup and its potential impact on players and countries. They didn’t ask a specific question, which leaves me wondering if they want a summary or some context. I should ask for clarification and share a brief overview of what this expansion means, including the pros and cons, along with any relevant format changes for 2026. Maybe I could mention John Terry as well.Discussing 2026 World Cup format
For the 2026 World Cup, FIFA is changing to 12 groups of 4, which is a shift from the previously planned 16 groups of 3 due to criticism. The top two teams from each group plus the eight best third-placed teams will advance to the knockout stage, making 32 in total. We’ll have 104 matches instead of 80. The allocation includes 16 slots for Europe, 9 for Africa, and others for different regions, with four hosts, including the USA, Canada, and Mexico. An exciting structure overall!Clarifying user needs in Chinese
The expansion of the World Cup offers more opportunities for African, Asian, and OFC nations. I should ask the user what they are looking for—translation, summary, article drafting, or an opinion. I'll keep it concise and provide a brief analysis, perhaps in bullet points:
- 48-team format starts in 2026.
- More smaller nations participating for the first time, increasing exposure.
- Risks include diluted match quality, travel burdens, and schedule congestion.
- Impacts on player careers and historical moments for countries.
- Support for expansion but with a focus on fair play and player health.
I’ll ask if they'd like a brief news summary or an analysis.

简单说法:
- 机会增多:2026起48队、12组4队,非洲、亚洲和大洋洲名额提升,弱旅更易首秀。
- 个体红利:曝光与转会窗口更大,黑马球员身价飙升的概率更高。 
- 潜在问题:比赛质量可能被稀释,赛程更密(总场次增至104),球员负荷与旅行成本上升。
