They will get to 32 before too long. No way they can do 8 groups of 3. Groups of 3 suck and that's only a 30 game tournament instead of 52.
They tried it once in 1982, six groups of 4 (top 2), then 4 groups of 3 (group winners), semifinals and final. Ended up with the famous group of Brazil, Argentina and Italy, i'm sure you recall!
Also, people love knockout football.
