Why the feck do the winners of Groups E and F play 2nd place from D and E respectively, whilst all the other group winners get to play a 3rd place team?
I'll be honest, I'm mostly pissed off because it affects one of my teams. It means Italy end up with either Croatia or Spain in the next round whilst a winner of a group could end up with someone like Romania or Czech Republic.
I get the whole thing about having to beat the best to win the tournament, but having an easier run up certainly helps.
