That group is a good example. If Sweden beats Mexico and Germany beats S. Korea, then three teams (Sweden, Mexico and Germany) would have 6 points and one of them wouldn't go through.

Meanwhile it's possible right now for other teams to go through on 3 points if certain results happen.

Would it make more sense to have the winner of every group advance, along with the next eight teams with the most points in the group stage?

In the current system, Team A could win 2 games in the toughest group and still not advance. While Team B could advance with two draws and a loss in the easiest group.

given the limited time they have i think today's system is about as good as it can get. there are inevitable shortcomings if youre deciding things based on three games only
