I actually think the argument that an expansion will dilute the talent is starting to lose it's weight. Seems like there are a lot more highly talented young players in the league today than there were 10-15 years ago and I think that's due in large part to how well young athletes take care of themselves these days and how hard they train.
I would bet that over the next 10 years we see an even further increase in the number of skilled young players entering the league as Science unlocks even more mysteries about the Human body and there may be enough top talent to share with a larger number of teams.
Backcheck's idea of having a Euro division with 6 additional teams and that kind of schedule is something I'd like to see. Would be exciting and make the winner of the Cup an actual World Champion, unlike the World Series which only has two nations involved, one of which is slightly outnumbered.
