Round 1 Summary - No surprises

Authored by: Mister Football

We saw the danger signs last time, and it appears to have got worse this IC - this must be the last IC where we put up established footy countries against newcomers or weak nations.

It does the game absolutely no good whatsoever to see teams thrashed by 30 goals, it's pointless.

Surely we all know and understand that mismatches in footy games will always result in those sorts of scorelines, so why go through it?

The two division set up is what we now need to aim for, with eight teams in each division.

If need be, we work out a system where the 7th and 8th seeded teams play games pre-tournament with the top seeded teams of the 2nd division to determine the final groupings, and a similar thing could be happening at the bottom end of the 2nd division, i.e. teams have to start earning the right to compete.

We now have to move away from a system where you get to play merely for showing up.

It's a good thing that we can admit that we have reached that stage.---
