Lol, FIFA. -- nm - znufrii Jan 10, 06:16
16 three-team groups with the top two advancing to a round of 32 — was unanimously approved Tuesday -- nm - Beaker Jan 10, 06:13 3
- Ok, so a dozen or so nations get thrown a bone and can say they qualified, but you don't really need to tune in until knockout rounds. -- nm - volnelk Jan 10, 06:20 2
  - watching for collusion in the final game of the 3 will be a fun passtime, not to be missed -- nm - Beaker Jan 10, 06:26 1
    - With only two games in the group round, it does feel like a team could not show up and get in trouble quickly. - volnelk Jan 10, 06:34
