That's way to many teams/groups....

Yeah R32 is too much, too many games on a day.

Worst thing though is the time, damn these will be short nights for us

Did you ever think about the smaller countries? Let them play and enjoy too bro, football is for everyone, not just the elite! I'd even increase the groups and do R64. Time is no issue, invite all of the world for all I care, just take another month for the WC and you fit it in easy enough. CWC showed you don't need any summer break anyways and leagues shouldn't make a big fuss, they can play more efficiently like every 3rd day.

No I'm serious. Football today is more mainstream entertainment than actual sport. Between allowing all kind of dirty money to flow into football, that inflated it higher than the Venezuelan currency, sell own games and tournaments to rich dictatorships, invent political prices to make corrupt narcissistic politicians happy, decrease the quality of the sport by forcing more games each year, do halftime shows, allow tournaments in winter, so players and fans don't die in some desert shithole from the heat, ignore mass dieing slave workers building stadiums and and and and.

Why should we stop here now with the WC? We're way beyond the point of no return, it's absurd to think otherwise. All that counts is entertainment and money, nothing else. So fuck the qualifiers and invite the whole world to be happy together, isn't that the whole idea about it?

Yeah I would rather just have 64 team world cup and 32 team euro with groups of 4 than current format.

Gives more countries opportunity to qualify and makes bracket simpler without all these weird 3rd place combinations. I saw on wiki there's 495 possible 3rd places combinations and matchups for the coming WC.
