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.Originally posted by Zamboor View PostI went to Sharif University. I'm a superior genetic mutation, an improvement on the existing mediocre stock.

Sorry, just copied it from the article.Originally posted by Zamboor View Post
Wait, what? How is this possible? I'm pretty sure they qualify automatically as hosts. & I don't see them in Group I:Originally posted by KC McElroy View Post

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 sureOriginally posted by KC McElroy View Post

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.Comment

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 countriesComment

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