Think of the advantages:
* it'd be over in three weeks, leaving much more time for sensible things like cricket, trash telly, barbecues and that big yellow thing in the sky

* fewer games for the leading teams, so the quality in later stages might be a bit higher
* only six or seven European teams, so fewer makeweights stinking the place out
* I've read the pre-tournament guide twice now and still can't remember all the funny-named foreigners
* Ultonia would never qualify, unless they brought back the Brit championship and used that as the qualifiers...
