Subject: Leveling the World Cup Qualifying groups

Seeing a bit of confusion about the World Cup qualifiers (on my part) I would like to make a query and know the opinion of others
From the beginning of the season I was worried about how they were going to determine the qualifiers for the World Cup and in the middle of the season they gave this answer
Q23.1 Which seconds teams will qualify for the worldcup?
A23.1: The 17 teams from the first places in the groups and 15 of the 17 teams from the second places will be promoted. For all second placed teams a ranking will be made NOT INCLUDING matches against the last placed team in the case of 6-team groups. The best 15 teams will be promoted. The ranking will be based on the same assumptions as in the league i.e. number of points, goal difference, higher number of goals scored, higher number of victories, higher starting position (higher "pot")
And on my part the proposed system was not clear, I even saw that other people were not clear either
What do you think about the solution to this problem?

Even the system himself did not understand...
The wrong team is qualified because of that bug.
So, no this system is totally not clear.

I would propose even reducing countries that play qualifications to 64 Or 80
Rest of countries can play between each other in groups and play playoffs for next season with last in WCQ groups for place in next cycle
It's kinda not fun games when you winning 10+ on national level
Also this may allow in future when we all hope sokker to grow all existing countries to be added in sokker ...

Adding 4 countries to leveling all 17 groups in 6 teams each one.
Expand the World Cup to 48 teams (like in real life starting 2026), that means first, second and 14 best third places will be qualified to the World Cup, with the same amount of games, without the embarrassing need to remove won matches against lower group rivals.
Once in the WC, could be a format with 12 groups of 4 teams, quialifiying first, second and 8 best third places, that means 32 teams quialified, starting direct elimination round from round of 32 (like europa league) instead round of 16 as now. The WC will last a week longer but the calendar would be enough.
More teams will have the possibility to play in a WC, there are so much good teams in the raking between the rank 40-50 what never has been qualify to a World Cup and this could be a good chance for this teams.
Regards.

Which 4 countries should be introduced at all? We have another problem, that in certain countries there are no active managers. The damage and feasibility for the removal of 2 countries would be limited and on the other hand the gain would be much higher: fairness and equality for all participating countries, fixed game schedules, etc... 96 is clearly the better arithmetic number than 102 .
Which 4 countries should be introduced at all?
Kosovo, Gibraltar, San Marino, Qatar
Kosovo, Gibraltar, San Marino, Qatar
I will not bring this into political discussion with a french
to introduce a country, there should already be teams in this country, and have a national championship. The players do not fall from the sky.
Create 12 bot teams and create first division with these clubs. That's 264 players.
1W before the start of WCQ, they can arrange a PreQ:
95 vs 98
96 vs 97
Thats 2 Teams less and voilá
95 vs 98
96 vs 97
Thats 2 Teams less and voilá
