Bit rubbish so far, this 24 team structure encourages MEDIOCRITY, half the players aren't even of the nationality of the team they play for so what is the point ?

There's surely no way they'll shrink it back to 16 teams... which means either carry on with this 3rd place madness, or expand it to 32 teams - meaning we could have fixtures like Malta v Macedonia next time out...

Is that right? Surely even at 1-0 it's possible that the third place teams in D, E & F can finish with better records?


That's what they mentioned on the TV - they would be above Albania and would need all sorts of unlikely results for them not to go through

I think they will expand and invite extras

The Krauts are a total mish mash, they should all have square heads, blonde hair, blue eyes and wear leather shorts. They also enjoy urinating over each other.

Scotland still won't qualify.

How many chances do Germany need to get a 2nd goal ?

Both The Krauts & Poles 1-0 up stays like this England would probably have France in the quarters then Germans in the semi's if they win their next game, doesn't get much harder.
