correct about everything
is this true? 2016 is so confusing

so all of this Group match drama to eliminate only two teams?

No wonder no team feels too stressed

there are four teams in every group, so 8 teams get eliminated.

of course it's still silly. should have just gone up to 32 teams, with 16 eliminated.

I imagine most teams will be feeling the pressure in the final group game. Wales will feel it, Portugal could depending on how tomorrow goes, Italy won't.

Yea...not too fond of this change.

Although it does give meaning to games between the bottom 2 teams in the group. Albania will be playing with much more urgency against Romania as they would need a multi goal win to make it through.

Ehh? Whats with all this complex rule here? It makes my head confused here.TT

How is it complex?

They started with 6 groups of 4 teams. That's 24 teams to start. 8 get eliminated.


The top 2 teams in each group of 6 go through--- 6x2=12
The four best 3rd place team also go through. 12+4=16 teams in round of 16.

Not true at all. Four 3rd place teams go through to ensure that there's 16 teams in the second round.

Edit: Addi explains it better.

How does this work in terms of the winners playing 3rd placers? Is it the best first place teams who play the third placers then, or is it more formulaic based on the draw?
