For what it's worth, I actually did find the whole 3rd team going through a pretty interesting dynamic. After South Africa beat South Korea, see and analyzing their chances after every subsequent game was fun. They had a chance to get through if certain games went their way, but they didn't and ultimately got knocked.
64 is cleaner. But I'll miss this very unique aspect to 48 teams.
