Second group stage: 8 groups of 4, from 1 to 8. Example group 1: WA (winner of group A), WB, RA(runner-up of group A), RB. WA brings points and goals from 1st round agaist RA etc. So all matches in 1st stage will be very important. In 2nd group stage teams from group A play against teams group B (WA-WB, RA-RB, WA-RB, WB-RA).

They are apparently looking into going with 12 groups of 4, followed by a Round of 32. That is better than the original plan of 16 groups of 3 but is still a hideous idea. We've seen in past tournaments how the group stage is diminished when 66% of the 3rd-place finishers make it through.
