As for kicking off at the same time, the authorities must be very naive if they think the teams don’t know what’s going on in the other group game. It’s about time this competition had a new format in future.
Both teams trying to win?
Or both playing for pens?
Also it would be harsh to ask 16 teams to travel to wherever for 1 game.
Think I'll stick with the current system as it gives you the chance to see some new teams i.e. North Macedonia in a final tournament
