[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1099951, member: 74121"] Its interesting to see groups laid out like that. In only 3 of them is the top 2 nailed on, then with BPs, the race for the four best placed 3rds would add interest. Personally, I'd happily swap out one extra round of group games for the spectacle of a round of 16. And it would overcome the major issue of uneven amount of days between games. Before your post I was pretty comfortable with 20 teams. The main barrier to 24 is that this would potentially increase the voting rights of 4 unions, which might challenge the status quo. [/QUOTE]
