BillClinton Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Very excited for this tournament. I think having some of the "random" countries qualify adds a lot. I don't get why people are against the expansion. Sure there will be some lop-sided scores but the better games will just be pushed back to the later rounds. Having more football to watch is never a bad thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Bosnia have been s**** since the World Cup. Misimovic retiring seemed to turn them into a hoofball team. They were pretty shite at the World Cup too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having more football to watch is never a bad thing. My main counter argument is only that it's no longer symmetrical. 3 teams in a 4 team group getting though is awful and heightens the chance of dead rubbers which shouldn't really happen in tournament football IMO. Weird thing is, a lot of the new counties that have qualified have done so without needing the change in rules. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can sell it to me if you want lad ? The woman has been banging on about going to France for her 21st.... And I think I might be willing to go now aha I'm actually fucking buzzing like when we played Scotland in June I was adamant we would not qualify but I was there in the Algarve when we beat gibraltar and Scotland got beat by Georgia and that's when things got going and I actually cant believe it fucking get in... Wouldve been sick if norn iron and the Welsh went through an we didn't aha lol but feel for the scots tbh would easily swap Wales or norn iron for them cus there a great bunch of lads !!!!!

Weird thing is, a lot of the new counties that have qualified have done so without needing the change in rules. Yeah I can agree with that part of it. I'd rather have the same amount of teams in the knockout round but with more of a group stage (not sure that's possible to do) I wonder how much the expanded tournament is just a mentality thing. Seeing extra spots gives, Iceland, Albania, North Ireland (and so on) a bit of hope that this is the time they can make it and as it turns out they would have qualified normally. On the other hand you have sides like the Dutch who might have though that with so many spots it was impossible for them not to qualify. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
