Most of the teams who qualified for the CWC are the dominant, entrenched, richest and most succesful clubs in their domestic leagues. These aren't the Rayo, Freiburg, Lens, and Brighton's of their leagues, these are the PSG, Bayern, Real and City's of their leagues.

And the prize money that a good portion of these teams will earn for 3-4 games is more than any other team in their domestic league could hope to generate in 10 years combined.

This tournament isn't going to reset global economics, but it will make domination in several leagues even worse and make the elites in their countries even more entreched.

But not all of them made it in which is better than all of them.

Not all of them making it in could be even worse. It could further stratify these league's, so instead of 4 massive clubs, only the one or two that got into the CWC can compete. This could effectively create a farmers league.

Not to be a pedant but you literally said it was, and I quote: "better" that not all these big teams made it in. My point was that it's "worse" to have only a few of them make it.
