People won't like the format, probably because they don't like change, but I'm open minded about this. Let's be honest, the group stages in this competition were boring. So many dead rubbers and you knew the top two in most groups before they were played. Aside from the fact it's about more money with the extra games, I think it will mean less meaningless games, top teams less assured having to play two pot one teams and it also probably gives the teams who would normally be the whipping boys in a group of four a chance.
