why don't they just make it the same setup as the world cup, extend it to 32 teams in 8 groups, no more confusing bullshit...

So albania win a game, Portugal don't, and Albania go out, wheres the justice in that

No side drawing all their games should be going through
Alternative perspective:

Albania lose a game or games and go through but Portugal are undefeated and get eliminated?

could have 4 group of 6 then.
Seriously...

4 groups of 6 with 4 going through from each group.

Each team playing 5 group games. You realise that would be 60 games compared with 36 games when you have 6 groups of 4.

That is the sort of structure the ICC would come up with to guarantee India enough games.

Give it up, there is no good structure at 24. Only multiples of 16.

Which would mean each team playing 5 group games just to eliminate 2 teams to allow 16 to qualify. If you were only to have 2 from each group going into q-finals then there would be a lot of meaningless games.

The system being used in this tournament isn't great but at least it's better than Spain 82 which also had 24 teams.
