Will we see West Germany v Austria 1982 type games as there are going to be groups of 3?

Surely with 16 groups of three, there won't be any mutually convenient results like that in the offing? Win the group or you're out.

It’ll be two teams progressing into a round of 32.

Jesus Christ, that's nonsensical. 😂

You will get teams playing each other knowing a draw potentially might be enough to get through ..

 

 

I honestly hadn't realised what the format was. 

 

A win or bust approach with only one team going through the group would have been far better as no side would have dared perform below 100%, but this format is nonsense. Imagine the utter crap in the Round of 32 as well.

Deffo want to go out for a couple of weeks for this, but i've never been to America. Where do you start when figuring out where to go?

start by looking up your family tree , friends of friends who live out there etc etc, its going to be expensive,

Are sports events safe in LA? Just thinking about the gangs there, and how fans could be a target. I suppose they must have a good track record in hosting big events.

Probably the safest to visit when there's a global event like this. Security will be everywhere

I mean the Lakers, Clippers, Kings, Dodgers, Angels, Rams, Chargers, Galaxy, LAFC all manage to have games out there 😂

Only bad thing about sporting events in LA, is you end up with “cocaine and boob job” crowd.  People with money who have no interest in the sport, but feel they need to be seen there.  Atmosphere could end up lacking.

FIFA rethinking their plan for 16 groups of 3 teams and possibly sticking with 4-team groups. Would be a wise decision imo.

It wouldn't replicate the 32 team world cup.

 

Having a round of 16 as the first knockout round would mean the group winners and best 4 2nd place teams go through.

 

Having a round of 32 as the first knockout round would mean the top 2 qualify along with the best 8 3rd place teams.

 

Essentially a bigger version of the crap euros format.

You are right, what am I thinking?
