    They should revert it back to 8 teams so it's back to when every game was interesting. Now that they allow every koor and kachal in only the last week of the games is worth watching.

    Look at Euro 88: Germany vs. Italy, Italy vs. Spain, Germany vs. Spain, Denmark vs. Spain, Holland vs. Soviet Union, Holland vs. England, England vs. Soviet Union, Italy vs. Soviet Union, Holland vs. Germany. There were hardly any games not worth watching.
    Hopefully in this addition national teams will consist of players with the given country's nationality.
    I went to Sharif University. I'm a superior genetic mutation, an improvement on the existing mediocre stock.

        They are. They will play in qualifiers but regardless of their results will take part in the finals.

          Wait, what? How is this possible? I'm pretty sure they qualify automatically as hosts. & I don't see them in Group I:
          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_E...ifying#Group_I

          edit: Just reread the article - "There are eight groups of six teams as well as one - Group I - that contains five nations. However, France are also allocated to that group and will play friendly matches against those teams, for which no points will be awarded."

            I prefer the current format with the top 2 going directly in & 3rd place having playoffs, as opposed to 2012 where only the top team went directly in & 2nd place had playoffs. This way, Sweden should be in for sure

              France games don't count, it's just like friendlies
              I've learnt it's not what you have in your life, but who you have in your life that counts

                  Okay let see. What nations deserve to be in the Euro 2016.

                  Group A: Czech Republic, Iceland, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Netherlands, Turkey

                  Clearly Turkey and Netherlands. Third place will be fought by Czech Republic and Iceland.

                  Group B: Andorra, Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Cyprus, Israel, Wales

                  Bosnia and Belgium, This place will most likely be Israel

                  Group C: Belarus, FYR Macedonia, Luxembourg, Slovakia, Spain, Ukraine

                  Spain will win. Then its between Slovakia, Macedonia and Ukraine for second and third place.

                  Group D: Georgia, Germany, Gibraltar, Poland, Republic of Ireland, Scotland

                  Germany and Poland. With Ireland and Scotland fighting for third

                  Group E: England, Estonia, Lithuania, San Marino, Slovenia, Switzerland

                  England, Switzerland. Slovenia will come third

                  Group F: Faroe Islands, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Northern Ireland, Romania

                  Greece and Romania will make it with Hungary coming third or North Ireland

                  Group G: Austria, Liechtenstein, Moldova, Montenegro, Russia, Sweden

                  Sweden and Austria will make it russia in third or maybe even monetengro

                  Group H: Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Croatia, Italy, Malta, Norway

                  Italy and Croatia. Third place will most likely be bulgaria but azerbaijan and norway can upset.

                  Group I: Albania, Armenia, Denmark, France, Portugal, Serbia

                  This is a hard group. Albania, Denmark, Porutgal and Serbia all good teams. Ronaldo will most likey take Portugal to euro 2016.

                    Gibraltar is now a country??

                    i hate how all these little ass town who are indepent countries with no chance of anything take part in these qualifiers hence messing up the groups cuz those games are automatic 6 points for MOST of the teams in that group. these free points end up getting some of the better teams not making it.

                    they need to make it like asia where its 2 rounds....filter out some of the crap countries

                      My predictions:

                      Group A: 1st Netherlands, 2nd Turkey, 3rd Czech Republic
                      B: Belgium, Bosnia, Wales
                      C: Spain, Ukraine, Slovakia
                      D: Germany, Poland, Ireland (looking forward to the Germany vs Poland & Ireland vs Scotland matches, as well as Gibraltar's debut)
                      E: Switzerland, England, Slovenia
                      F: Greece, Romania, Hungary
                      G: Sweden, Austria, Russia (Montenegro will pose a tough test too, they might sneak in)
                      H: Italy, Croatia, Norway
                      I (Group of Death): Portugal, Denmark, Serbia


                      S - E - C - U - L - A - R - I - S - M

                        Gibraltar were only given full Uefa membership in May 2013, have only played one official match so far - a 0-0 draw against Slovakia.
