What no thread about the new World Cup format?

Apparently they've decided to go for 12 groups of 4, with the top 2 and the 8 best 3rd place teams going through. And then straight knockout from there I think.

So we're back to the nonsense of a team that got 4 points and ended 3rd behind Argentina and Italy going out while a team with 5 points that ended 3rd behind Belgium and Nigeria go through!

Apparently the first 3 matches are going to be played simultaneously aswell.

you better check this: Europe has just a few more qualifiers, but Italy
will be able to miss it for the third straight tournament :/

Will it be a SHOCKER if the USA wins, finally, the world title? After all, a much smaller and less significant nation, Uruguay, won it as a host. Too bad for the hosts, the police dogs are no longer allowed on the sidelines…
