For those that don't know what ctes is talking about and why the new format could be bad...

Argentina and West Germany played their last group games after the result of the other match had already happened. So they knew what was needed and played with that specific result in mind.

(With that said, In Argentina's case, they were the hosts and they managed to delay their game long enough to let the other match be played out. They were originally supposed to both happen at the same time like the other second round group game.)
