Have UEFA totally screwed the Euro 2016 qualifiers

Kermit.de.frog · 2014-10-14 02:46:14

Sounded like a good idea at the time expanding the tournament and thus the qualifiers - "sure none of those teams will qualify anyway" But the fact is Iceland, Wales, Israel, Slovakia, Northern Ireland, Finland and Albania all top their groups now and none of them have ever qualified for the Euros before. Does a 24 team…

Spurs from two years ago say hi.

We are a worse team than Wales by any reasonable measure.

Hmmm, but Ireland have had some degree of success in qualifying for tournaments whereas Wales have none.

I remember Euro 2008 when none of England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland qualified and it was a savage tournament. Just because some nations may not be familiar to you doesn't mean you should write them off.

Northern Ireland (and I say this as a fan!) have not much of a chance of qualifying and if they do and Ireland don't it's hardly their fault no UEFAs.
