Optimistic Nut Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 I don't know if I'm just more out of touch with European football now but these seem like the weakest Spain, Germany, etc groups of players since 2000ish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These international jobs almost seem to carry a separate reputational ranking that seems completely untethered to league football. Like, does anyone think Martinez could get a high profile jobs in any of the top 4 leagues in Europe? Wouldn't shock me to see Southgate end up with something daft like the Belgium job.

Paullow Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 So now that we have had a couple of 24 team editions, do you prefer 16 or 24? There are a few less fancied sides like Georgia and Albania involved, but still enough relatively decent sides (or certainly big name players) that have missed out which doesn't make qualification totally redundant - Sweden, Norway, Greece and even Wales would all have added something to the event. There are 51 matches rather than the usual 31, so great for those, like myself, who will watch anything, but maybe not so much for those preferring quality, and the worst thing about the change is the 4 third placed teams advancing as it does mean less jeopardy in most group matches, and when you see groups containing Spain, Italy and Croatia, you realise there's actually a decent chance they will all progress anyway. It won't change, and probably more likely they would try and squeeze 32 than going back to 16, but overall are you in favour of the larger tournament?

I like having more smaller sides, but I don't like how 3 can go through from groups. I'd rather they just make it 32 if it's going to be more than 16.
