[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 756154, member: 72205"] Lets be honest here at the very bottom of this world cup we have some real poor sides in Namibia & Uruguay. I certainly don't advocate reducing teams but increasing is bad as I don't see how brining 4 teams that will struggle to even cause a tier 2 upset brings to the table other than increase games played. I'd like to see one or two more genuine upsets/tournament before increasing teams however. More teams to knock outs could be good though 1999 had a good idea with it's playoff and it would stop more England esque issues. Top of each group go to QF's 2nd's and 3rds play each other in a play-off. I think rounding out the schedule would also benefit some of turnaround this time have been stupid.
