italy were still singing! hahahaAlbania to pull off the first shock
Are you Italiahorse?Is it me, or is the picture from this game a bit off? Dunno if it's just my sky box but it looks a bit stuttery.
32 would make the group stages largely irrelevant in a euros I think. France, Belgium, England, Germany, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal would be very unlikely to end up in the same group. You'd end up with a group stage that's only marginally better than the qualifiers.Oh yeah 16 if for sure the best format but we all know UEFA aren't gonna take the hit money wise and return to that.
24 is just an odd number. Doesn't even save the players match time over 32. Might save a few days in tournament length but they could easily just have 4 games a day on some group stage rounds and fit them in.
8 groups 2 through is just way neater, provides a bit of jeopardy for the groups and would give an opportunity for 8 more minnows to taste tournament football.

I'm not, but that's a name I've not seen on here for a while.Are you Italiahorse?
Pretty sure he still lurks.I'm not, but that's a name I've not seen on here for a while.

24 is not much better. Should revert back to 16.
The World Cup is going to suffer similarly I think with the 48 team format.... wouldn't be surprised if we see a couple of 10-0s in the groups in 2026.
Pretty sure he still lurks.
