yeah it looks a bit more rational upon further examination.
the group round will be shorter, which will make for a more dynamic start. no time to warm up or fuck up or test shit. 2 games & you're done.
then it's knockouts from then onwards, no holds barred. fine.
it's just the sheer number that fucks me up a little and yes, what kind of elimination will there be?
CONMEBOL has only 10 members. currently it has 4.5 spots (4 guaranteed, 1 last chance played vs. oceania or something)
with 48 spots it will end up having what-- 8?
so basically if you're a south american country you just have to put on your pants and show up.
fuck the qualifiers for 2 years then. who needs all those time wasters.
