The Earthopa League?

Most national teams will never grace the footballing worlds biggest stage, which is of course the World Cup. That right is reserved for a select few national teams and the best of the rest of world football who are really there to make up the numbers. There are thousands of players who play fro there national team but will never get the chance to show their skill in front of a global audience, the population of that country won't ever feel the jubilation and pain that comes with success or failure on the world stage. However have come with a solution that is possibly the greatest idea in football since the guy who decided football would be played using your feet. We run a separate tournament, the summer after the World Cup for national teams who weren't good enough to qualify for the World Cup. You wouldn't run a separate qualifying event you'd just use the teams who didn't reach the World Cup qualifying bracket. The format would be the same as the World Cup with 32 teams. With the attention of the world not on any major international tournament they could watch the smaller teams battle it out for a trophy that for them would be like the world cup, a chance to prove themselves and be successful on a global stage in front of (hopefully) millions. I'm sorry this was such a short post.
