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.
They really should have just expanded to 32...enough talent in Europe to do it.
