On March 11, 2024, according to CCTV5 program list, as one of the important events in the international football world, the European Cup points system has recently become the focus of hot discussion. Some fans questioned the current point rules and thought that they might affect the fairness and rationality of the game.
It is reported that the dispute mainly focuses on the distribution of points in the group stage. Some fans believe that this may lead to unfair treatment of teams with similar strength due to a small gap in points. Here are some opinions of fans and experts on the current point system:
team |
win |
flat |
negative |
integral |
Team A |
one |

four |
Team B |

four |
Team C |

In this case, even if the performance of the three teams is equal, some teams may be forced to withdraw from the game early due to the difference in the number of goals or other secondary criteria. This system may reduce the suspense of the game and affect the fans' experience of watching the game. UEFA said that they would listen carefully to the views of all parties and consider possible reforms in the future. It remains to be seen whether the European Cup points system will change.
