From what I understand, while the smaller nations are those that suffer the most from short rest periods, they'd still happily have 5 teams in a group instead of 4: For most of them, it's the only opportunity in four years where they get to play big teams and/or get some attention for their sport at home. If there were just 4 teams in a group, we might have even more teams in the situation of uruguay, knowing they dont have a single winnable game in their entire tournament, which isnt exactly desirable either. Now why the schedules tend to benefit bigger teams is another matter. I just hope that scheduling wont be a deciding factor for the group positions this time, unlike (probably) in 2011 with wales/samoa. is there something uneven about the schedules or just the fact that bigger teams have a larger talent pool? | ||

I cheer for Wales, but I must say it would be sad to have England knocked out before quarterfinal since they are playing in England And Italy vs Canada, I hope no surprises here !!! | ||
