To be fair though

The round Robin system appears flawed if it means you get easier second round match if you finish lower in thd group.

I agree they need to be punished but whichever retard devised the system needs to take a share of the blame.

We've all debated whether thd England team at the world cup or euros should fake a point in order to avoid a tricky opponent in the next round and teams have regularly rested players in key games with that in mind. Not an enormous difference.
