OK, it's nice that countries in backwards areas can win World Cup games, because every plays one sport. But if they all concentrate on one sport, what does that prove? No diversity needed! What I'm proposing is that every country put up 16 athletes - no substitutions - and they compete in all of the following team sports:

Football aka soccer
Hockey (maybe the roller version to save money for poorer nations)
Basketball
Rugby
Volleyball (full team rotates)

Teams play one match per day. The first team to win three of the matches goes forward in the tourney.

what say you
