Meaning top two from each group plus four third place teams with the
most points from group stage.

Not completely finalized, but seems likely that that will be the way
it works. The link below was referenced on wikipedia, fwiw.

       Today's second match does not pode well for 2016.  --  DurangHoo   Thu Jun 14 2012 7:24:17 PM
          Agree. I think 16 is the perfect number for the Euros.  --  TheVanillaGorilla   Fri Jun 15 2012 12:29:12 PM
          The way I look at it, the more matches the better. So some teams get killed...   --  Hoo05Dave   Thu Jun 14 2012 10:14:17 PM
             Fair enough.  --  DurangHoo   Thu Jun 14 2012 10:35:08 PM
                Is it possible that the format will be altered to lessen the knock-out rounds?  --  Hoo05Dave   Fri Jun 15 2012 2:10:18 AM
                   Good question. Don't know the answer.  --  DurangHoo   Fri Jun 15 2012 11:40:05 AM

                And tbe fact if you lose your first game, you're on life support.  --  blah   Thu Jun 14 2012 10:52:47 PM
          BTW, you're probably looking at the #16 team in the tourney vs.  --  blah   Thu Jun 14 2012 7:58:11 PM
             Exactly. So now imagine a 1 v. 24 match up.  --  DurangHoo   Thu Jun 14 2012 9:56:21 PM
          Sounds like the World Cup. **  --  blah   Thu Jun 14 2012 7:54:52 PM
          It doesn't bode well either. **  --  DurangHoo   Thu Jun 14 2012 7:24:43 PM
