And knockouts are Round of 32.

Great job FIFA at making the group stage completely and utterly meaningless!

### ## are they gonna do this? 2 games total doesn't seem enough for one team, so are they gonna have 4 games? Or something more weird. Also, there will be less competition in the group stages because 2 out of the 3 qualify. But it sounds like an interesting idea nonetheless.

It's probably not as bad as it sounds tbh

Champions Hockey League had this and I thought it was okay.

i think they also did it to not lengthen the tournament
before you played a minimum of 3 games and could play a max of 7, soon you play a minimum of 2 and could play a max of 7

"Champions Hockey League had this and I thought it was okay."

Champions Hockey League group stage is home-and-away though so it's 4 games played for each team.

I don't see how it's good in the first place though. The group stage is 100% meaningless when only 3 teams are in any group because you often need only 1 win to get through.

That actually happened in the CHL this year in Group D and Group G. In the former, Lukko only won a single game in the groups out of 4 but advanced anyway. Same goes for Group G but for HIFK.

The fact that Lukko actually won a game in continental competition in 2016-17...

Horrible decision to expand the World Cup

Makes the qualifying process very meaningless

"Makes the qualifying process very meaningless"

and the entire group stage is meaningless because two thirds of the teams in the tournament will go to knockouts.
