Had a thought about the next World Cup with it being 48 teams. 

 

Have 12 groups of 4.

Top 2 go through.

Leaves you with 24 teams. 

Top performing 8 group winners get a bye to last 16.

Remaining 16 play each other in a last 16 qualifier. 

Winners play the 8 who got a bye. 

Then it works like any last 16.

 

I don't think teams getting a bye is ideal but it gives teams an incentive to go all out for wins and goals in the group stages. And it keeps the 4 team group format where 2 go through. Surely better than what has been suggested. 

 

This is so much better than 2 of 3 going through

This feels so nice knowing what he has gone through. I’m actually rooting for them a bit with no special reason. He seems like he deserves to get them some glory.


Exactly, clearly doesn’t give a fuck what anyone thinks and is just having a blast.

Strange that Dutch had the exact same.

Wait, you're not suggesting these are choreographed?

 

That would seem completely out of character for the regime.

 

Apologies for source (I'd actually advise you not to click)

This goes on at every World Cup with almost every team. Since they have their base, the staff working at the bases celebrates their return after a win as they see them everyday and become a part of the team. Was the same in Russia for a lot of teams like Brazil, France and few others that I saw at the very least.

Random thought but have any Premier League players played particularly well this tournament?

 

 

 

A few of the English and Brazilian lads have been decent.

Good question, de Bruyne didn’t reach normal levels. Ziyech has looked good.  Foden’s looked great. Bernardo Silva has been typically great, gundogan didn’t look as sharp as usual. Havertz blew hot and cold. Can’t think of the other top players, van Dijk’s been good from what I’ve seen

Casemiro and Richarlison have been decent for Brazil.

Alison has been pretty decent for Brazil. I thought Tyler Adams was very good US until the Netherlands game.
