If anything the last couple of days proved the necessity to maintain groups of 4. If they wanna expand to 48, they can still have 12 groups of 4 and then do some mathematical fukkery to designate best thirds.so this type of drama and fukkery is gonna be gone once we get groups of 3 teams smh
I read that FIFA was already thinking about scrapping groups of 3 so hopefully they go through with it.
