• You make no sense John, less bigger groups more accurate? If you are trying to sort the top 4 maybe, but you are trying to get the top 32 from 48 in 6 rounds, really? The more games, the clearer the results for the group stages, it's to decide the top 32, have a look at the Euros UK quali results round by round if you need to, some teams started the tourney well and their places were confirmed early on, some teams started slow, just needed a kick in the rear end but made it in the end. The more games the more accurate the results.
