Good news IMHO, I've no idea how you could work it, maybe best second/third placers going through. I think twenty teams is good, have groups of 5 with the top 2 through, make the group stages more of a challenge with more guaranteed games for all teams. Title: Bigger Euros?

General consensus was that it is fine as it is. Dont want to make it too easy to qualify otherwise you might as well just invite all 52 countries in. Maybe expand it to 20 teams and have 4 lots of 5 team groups at the final in a uefa cup group styleeTitle: Bigger Euros?

fucking Spaghetti would tryumph again !!! :evil: Title: Bigger Euros? Post by: flammableBen on Saturday, December 9, 2006, 18:24:42 It's a good idea to be fair, means Scotland and Wales might qualify occasionally for a change. They can't seem to manage it often at the moment.
Title: Bigger Euros? Post by: Reg Smeeton on Saturday, December 9, 2006, 20:14:20 Shit idea....to be fair. In football terms more normally means less. Its just a a way of getting more TV revenue.
In 76, which was reckoned to be the last truly classic Euro.....the finals consisted of 8 teams .....straight knockout....over in a week....Czechs beat the Huns....on pens..Huns made sure such a thing would never happen again.
