That's just ridiculous. Not a slight at you btw, because I can imagine there's already someone preparing this idea 'because it would unite even more countries' 16 at EC, 32 at WC is enough imo.

Oh it is enough, it's the ideal amount. But that ship has sailed, and it's never coming back. So yeah, I'd rather an extra expanded version than some nonsensical group formats basically. The group stages would be ridiculous absolutely, but possibly hilarious followed some seriously good, long knockout rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love my football but even i been skipping some games as its just too much. So god knows how they gonna make this work. More fans as well so how are smaller countries going to accommodate all the fans Nothing wrong with current format of 32 teams yeah it's shit. Individual teams will play the same amount of games, i.e. to win the tournament it's the same amount of games as it is now. One less group game and one extra knockout. But overall there will obviously be loads more games. It'll just mean complete indifference for the group stage. Nobody will care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't have Groups of Death anymore. It'll be one good team, one decent team and one poor team. Spain and Germany in the same group? NOPE. Spain, Mexico and Latvia. Yeah, sure.

You just proved my point about western brainwashing. 700+ detainees were released without charge after over a decade of illegal imprisonment. This means they were NOT terrorists. They were held based on no evidence, tortured, and released with no charges after YEARS of imprisonment. Did YOU just compare gay people allegedly not being able to attend a football game to someone being imprisoned and tortured for no reason? Whataboutism - there it is. Was waiting for this. The world that is immediately reached for by people wanting to criticise others and not wishing to be criticised themselves. The tool of the prejudiced to hide their prejudice behind. ‘Stop eating the cookies steve.’ ‘But Dave, Ralph and John are eating cookies, and you’re handing them out!’ ’Whataboutism. We’re not talking about them, we’re talking about you!’ ’So you gonna stop them?’ ’you’re a whataboutist.’ ’well, are you?’ ’Total whataboutery.’ At what point did I say that bring a woman or being gay is the same as smoking weed or being a prostitute? Do YOU need explaining what is meant by having laws that other countries may find backwards? Not comparing. The guy in a thread about Qatar talking about Germany, Holland and USA thinking it’s mean to call him out on it. How ironic. Getting the George Galloway vibes when one mentions ‘western brainwashing’ in a thread where one spends time defending a dictatorial regime because ‘others are mean too!!!!1’ Edited November 29, 2022 by magnkarl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
