The title is long because I did not know how to shorten it in a sensible fashion
So how would you go aboutr creating such a database? It would be only for simulation purpouses, not actually playing with it. All the national teams would be in 2 or 3 group STAGES to increase the chances of some strange results with big teams unable to leave the group and then we would go on to knockouts. I really don't know how to start. Do I edit only the world cup or do I set the teams to some kind of auto qualification? Can I start the game with this Cup? Would it be doable? Would it push the beginning of league football to a later date? I have so many questions but I would like to do it because I think it could be fun. Any suggestions, tips and hints will be very much appreciated.
Cheers!
