Norwood's on Fire
Design your own. I've probably done this before in other tournaments. But the 24 team format does produce some oddities.
When used in Italia 90 and USA 94, the losing finalists in each had finished third in their group (it was also used in 86. And tbf was probably an improvement on the three team second group stage of 82). Validation of the format or an insult to those who'd bothered their arses to show up for their group games?
Anyway. How many teams should be in the Euros? And either way, with 24 or however many you'd choose, what should the format be?
