Why are there so many other teams that did worse get easier match ups? England gets 2nd place in an easy group and gets Iceland?
Aside from that, it has become too easy to qualify to next round, therefore not only it doesnt have much prestige but it has less pressure on teams to get a result each game. You can qualify by losing 2 and winning your last game for example. Out of 24 teams, only 8 eliminated, whats the prestige in that when 66% go through to next round?

''We made it to the knock-out stage of the Euro!'' means nothing now.
Soon, the knock-out stage of the World Cup will lose its prestige too, when we have a round of 32.... Rofl.

seems like they want to make sure everyone gets a little bit of the happiness of a tournament so they can stay interested or have some hope. But it really ruins it when you have too many people getting that special treatment. Part of something being special is because its hard to obtain. Now we're going to make it easy so everyone can be happy.
