    yeah, with Hungary’s win and Croatia’s draw it made it rather easy for other teams to know what will be enough.

    Honestly I don’t know if a 3rd vs 2nd playoff would make it better, or if having 32 teams and 8 weaker teams added is better.

    I think at least the tie breaker for 3rd teams should reward wins higher than 3 draws. it’s really stupid that you can park the bus for 3 games and play anti-football and be rewarded for it because 3 pts and 0 gd is likely good enough.

      Could easily make it 20 1st and 2nd are in with bye all 3rd and top 2 4th play each other. The down side group play will be meaningless.
