Evaluating playoff structures

I’m figuring out that there are 12 runners-up plus 4 Nations League group winners who enter playoffs, creating 4 paths of 4 teams, with winners qualifying for the next round. This makes sense for the 2026 format. The mention of [[NEWS.CONTENT_HTML]]quot;名单出炉[[NEWS.CONTENT_HTML]]quot; probably refers to a Chinese social media post. The user might be looking for the list of 16 teams and their matchups, but I don’t have live network access, and retrieving information could be risky.Clarifying UEFA playoff dates

I can answer generally about the UEFA playoff format and likely dates in March 2026. The qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup will have a group stage running from March to November 2025. The current date is December 29, 2025, and the user mentioned [[NEWS.CONTENT_HTML]]quot;名单全部出炉,[[NEWS.CONTENT_HTML]]quot; suggesting the squads might be announced soon, maybe just before matches in March 2026. However, there's some inconsistency in the timeline since it appears that squad announcements typically occur shortly before the matches.Asking for clarification

The user appears to be referencing a headline without asking me a specific question. It makes sense for me to ask for clarification: do they want the list of 16 teams, matchups, analysis, or a summary? I must avoid making assumptions about specific teams. I can outline the format and confirm details about the 2026 World Cup cycle. I'll respond in Chinese, providing an overview and asking what specific information they want. Options will include the teams, matchups, or additional analysis.Considering information delivery

I’m thinking about how to provide the user with what they need. If they choose options 1 or 2, I should have an accurate list ready. I might want to ask permission to fetch the latest official list from UEFA, as it could change. The harness specifies that I can access the network, but only on failure. For now, I’ll just ask the user what they prefer before proceeding. Let's respond accordingly!
