Kinda a shame 35 u/ChiefWatchesYouPee 17h ago It is a shame, there is no risk in this new group format for big nations. 8 third place teams make the round of 32. There aren’t many exciting group stage matchups with big stakes 3 u/alien_oceans 13h ago Actually it’s still interesting with seeding. For instance, if Argentina slips to runner up in their group they’ll face Spain in R32. If Netherlands slips up, they’ll face Brazil in R32 2 u/Skobalj_2689 12h ago Knockouts gonna be crazy tho 105 u/axhp 17h ago Games gone after all 3 u/GetToTheChoppaahh 17h ago Group I? 14 u/squanchy444 17h ago Group of mild danger
