To be honest, I'm not so impressed with the World Cup format, I mean they have 2 groups with 8 teams, and eventually everyone makes it to the next round, that sounds pretty stupid to me, the other thing I don't like is the games being played in different countries, why don't they stick with one country and play all the games there? my suggestion of a good World Cup format would be similar to the WC Soccer format, this is what I mean:
- 16 Teams involved. (WC Soccer has 32 teams but Soccer is a more popular sport).
- 4 Groups, 4 teams in each group.
- Held in one country, Canada, USA, Sweden, or whatever.
- Only first and second place teams from each group make it to the next round.
Here's a good example:
Group A: Canada, Finland, Italy, Norway. Let's assume (1st: Canada, 2nd: Finland)
Group B: USA, Czech Republic, Ukraine, Switzerland. (1st: USA, 2nd: Czechs)
Group C: Russia, Germany, Poland, Latvia. (1st: Russia, 2nd: Germany)
Group D: Sweden, Slovakia, Belarous, Japan. (1st: Sweden, 2nd: Slovakia)
QF's:
Canada vs Germany - let's assume the winner is (Canada)
USA vs Finland - (USA)
Russia vs Slovakia - (Russia)
Sweden vs Czech Republic - (Sweden)
SF's:
Canada vs Russia - (Canada)
USA vs Sweden - (USA)
3rd place match:
Russia vs Sweden - (Russia)
Finals:
Canada vs USA - (Canada)
Now is't this format much more fun? I think this is 100 times better then the current format.
