It's a shame UEFA are going to ruin the euro's in 2016 by adding another 8 teams into it, you will get shit like Scotland, Wales, Cyprus etc potentially making it inot the next one.
Yeah, 24 is just too much and it could end up to look like the CL group stages where the clear favorites always go through since they're against much inferior teams.

20 teams could do (even that is a lot) but 24 will definitely fuck up the early stages of the tournament. Even if the best 24 teams qualify, there will still be 4-6 bad teams in it.

'sup bosnia? thanks for getting portugal players (and people) together again, just like in 2004/2006.

Ronaldo is finally deserving the captain armband.

The competition will lose out, so that the smaller nations can gain. The Euros are usually quite short which is what makes them a good watch, so it'll start off duller.

But I think this is bad for the players, the number of games they have to play increases yet again.

24 teams qualifying is way too many. UEFA thinking about the dollars once again. The quality of this tournament will drop, just like it has for the World Cup.

Anyway from an Italian perspective, I glad they are in the same pot as Germany. But I have a feeling they will get the Dutch again.

They are. But at least they're not holding it in Qatar. :oops:

Spain are being turned into the Harlem Globetrotters.
They already are. Just with metrosexual haircuts.

Canada's doing well in the world cup qualifiers. Sure the other clubs so far have trouble buying jerseys for their players but it's good to see them do well. :D

Damn, the pts from tonight's draw with Turkey were already counted so it's Russia in pot 2 and Croatia in pot 3.

Looks like everyone will hope for the hosts from pot 1, Russia from pot 2, Greece from pot 3 and to avoid France from pot 4.
France wasn't very impressive against Belgium yesterday.
Not a team to avoid, if you can keep Ribery out the match, 90% of the danger is gone.

It's bad for a neutral fan but a nice chance for smaller nations to enjoy big football for once.
