Crazy Qualification For Euros

[Rattea]

We are moving to a more concaf structure but really this is just UEFA trying to get more games against the big sides. I really dont like this system its mental.

And all real qualification is done in 9 months not 18 like now.

If you haven't seen how the format is changing the below explains it....

Argentina finished 5th in their qualifying group and managed to pull of a play-off place but the funny thing is that if you finished 5th in our group you would fail to qualify as you can only earn a play-off spot by finishing 2nd.

Messed up system indeed....

If Europen world cup groups allowed 5th place teams to qualify for playoffs there would be 1(host)+9(group winners)+18(9*4/2 playoff winners)= 28 European teams qualified. That might be ok if 64 nations qualified for the world cup - but its 32.

But Scotland hopefully still wouldnt make it.

I've worked this through with little counters on the kitchen table, it was all working so well until the point where by my reckoning Croatia play themselves.

Teo of us tried to work it out earlier and I think we worked out.... Nothing! Who ever thought of this used the enigma decoder!!!

But the Enigma machine is set to make Germany get to the final. It needs recoding for England to get there.

Hang on a minute, as good as the Enigma machine was, that code combination would never be possible ....England are absolute crap and its impossible to make a turd shine. Even German efficiency cannot do that!
