the way it'll work with 16 groups of 3 in 2026
Ugh, is that the format, with two going through into the next round? Awful. Should be eight groups of six, little mini leagues at the start.
Currently: 3 group games, last 16, QF, SF, Final = 7 games max - played in 32 days
2026: 2 group games, last 32, last 16, QF, SF, Final = 7 games max - can be played in 32 days
8 groups of 6: 5 group games top 2 go through, last 16, QF, SF, Final = 9 games max - can't be played in 32 days
or:-
8 groups of 6: 5 group games only winner goes through, QF, SF, Final = 8 games max - still can't be played in 32 days
