to each their own no problem bud.

as exactly half teams qualify, we could easily continue the knockout system to determine 9th to 16th position. thats a minimum of 7 games each and a maximum of 9.

we'll then have larger nations coming in 2 positions though.

i guess i dont like pre-determined divisions. that means someones classed a weaker nation before we even start doesnt it?... unless im seeing it wrong.
