You have to stop somewhere, and I believe 32 is the perfect number. Three games minimum, and the top two from each group qualify, with no more fuss. There are no meaningless games, unless groups get decided early, which could happen with less teams too, so it's not a matter of number of teams. Then, knockout rounds and seven games maximum for the finalists. It is working for the World Cup. There were rumours of going up to 36 for the World Cup, but that would involve qualification problems for the second round, and I don't agree with it.
'More quality, less quantity', but how do you guarantee the quality? Less teams does mean less quantity, but it doesn't have to mean less quality. Another way of seeing it is that more teams add to the show, rather than take away from it.
