This format ensures the top 3 go to the next round, so it kinda removes the famous group stage crash outs of big teams in the past which were fun to see.
Yup. Horrible format. Just feels like glorified qualifiers.Cabo Verde's upset draw was insane and great to watch, but all it really means is that Cabo Verde has better odds of making it through. There's absolutely no way Spain doesn't make it.
Saudi Arabia will restore the format with 64 teams in 2034, the double size world cup
removed one of the most fun things
Uruguay and Croatia will not qualify

>>155332727That's not true. USSR crashed out in 1990 and Colombia crashed out in 1994 despite those 2 World Cups having the same kind of format. It's still possible, and in fact it just makes those crash outs even more fun to see when they do happen. And better yet, the World Cup expanded to 48 teams from 32 and Italy still couldn't even qualify. We had our first victim even before the group stage started.
>>155332727Ro32 does mean that some big teams could be drawn into each other early though. Even without the third place stuff, Spain face Argentina if one wins their group and the other is runner-up
