In my opinion, the World Cup is already too big. It should be no more than 16 teams. What we now have is quantity over quality.
Quite frankly, the World Cup now is the most boring load of crap. When was the last time you saw a memorable game at the World Cup?
Boring!

You could say the same for the Olympics in terms of size as well. For me the problem is not the WC itself or the format, its the fact that international football is slow and cagey most of the time, teams just don't go for it often enough anymore. But this format might help this, get the Group round over a game earlier and take 32 teams straight into a knockout phase as that is where games usually get better.
