IMHO it should be every 2 years.  4 years made sense back in the olden days but travel is a lot easier now.

Not sure which sport your talking about but think of the poor sportsman/women. They need time out to sponsor all the crap that makes them multi-millionaires by the time they're 21 :)

on the off years they do the regional cups, which are pretty big deals.  I remember being in Munich with your ex when Germany won the eurocup many years ago.  Now _that_ was a party.

We have the European Championships in between, and I think the South Americans/Americans have a similar deal. Besides, a World Cup year is exhausting for the players who end up having no end of season break.

The world cup would lose some of its value if it was every 2 years.  Also how would they fit in the olympics and European Championship qualifiers and finals, Copa America + world cup qualifiers etc. in the gap year?
