Get in here lads!
For me, it's group F
The draw aint until the fif.
>>152267993>12 groups>not 16dropped
>>152268279it will be the case in 2030 with 64 teams
>watching draws>watching rigged drawsishygddt
The draw is on Friday, not today
>>152267993What a nightmareAnything but 8 groups is trash. If not 8 groups, then it would have to be 16 ... but 64 teams would be insaneThe expansion to 48 is terribleAlso, I think there should be a draw of the KO tree (with the two pots of group winners and runner-ups) after the group stage, so that no one can tactically shit the bed to get an easier path
>>152268663what time though?
>>15227051518:00 cet; so around midnight you'll know your opponents
>>152270174it's the WORLD cupjust make the bottom X ranked teams do a PO so you're left with 128 teams, cfr early qualis in CL, etc.then rank 1 plays rank 128, home and away games; again with 64, ...once you get down to a number that the host's infrastructure can sustain then hold the final eventsome hosts could easily do 32; should never be less than 16 teams like best euros
>>152267993>>152270174Also, in the round of 32 there will be teams with a huge difference of rest time that will meet
>>152271208Yeah. It's just ass from start to finish. 3rd-placed teams advancing fucks up the KO format and devalues the entire group stage. It's so arbitrary that it hurts. Then comes the rest issue. Plus 48 teams means one more game in general. Plus the "weird" distribution of the 16 new spotsBut I can already see FIFA expanding to 64 teams to "fix" the 3rd-place stuff because they are soooo kind-hearted and totally listen to people
CUMbros do we get a guaranteed 3rd place shitter getting out of the group stage?
I want to go back.
