Which elimination round format do you guys think is set up better, the kind where group opponents can meet in the semifinals (such as Brazil vs Turkey in the 2002 World Cup) or where they will meet in the championship game (Portugal vs Greece for Euro 2004)? I like the World Cup format a little better, because it ensures that for the championship we will get a match between teams that have not played each other during the competition. However I suppose the Euro format makes it a little harder for group foes to meet since they both have to go all the way... What do you guys like better?
The World Cup has the same setup as the European Cup, it was only changed this time to keep Japan in Japan and South Korea (and China) in South Korea. I like the normal format best
