[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1162163, member: 74121"] Strange to do this before the pieces are in place to improve Tier2 standards more and reduce the number of blowouts. I would prefer 16 or 24 to 20 though just in terms of format. Although with a 6 week tournament there will be no round of 16, so it may be conentious picking 2 runners up plus 6 group winners for the QFs. I hope the 4x new places go into an expanded repechage rather than being allocated to continents. Brazil, Netherlands, Kenya, South Korea etc all deserve an equal chance to be the 24th side depending on on-field performance rather than on their geographic location. [/QUOTE]
