The World Cup format is shocking when they expand it. What makes it even worse is Europe despite having the strongest teams only gets 16 qualifers while every big nation from every other continent pretty much gets a bye into the finals.

UEFA clearly wants a 32 team Euros.
Kinda like how FIFA clearly want to keep expanding the World Cup until China, India and USA are all locks to qualify.
We're gonna keep getting shitty half measures until both get their way.

and are almost certain to qualify each tournament but ?

This six group format is just so ridiculously bad. You can literally play like ass in the group stages, qualify by sheer luck and 'Greece' their way to a victory.
Absolutely. Just look at Portugal in the last Euro Cup

Draw - Iceland
Draw - Austria
Draw - Hungary
Move onto knockouts in 3rd place thanks to goal differential
Extra Time Win - Croatia
Penalties Win - Poland
Win - Wales
Extra Time Win - France

Yeah but those European countries will watch the World Cup anyway, that market's basically saturated.
They want to "grow" the game into those emerging markets.

Well if Portugal defend their title and match Spain they'll have done it the hard way this tournament.
I don't like that Belgium defense one bit heading into the match, but hoping they pull through.
I'd like a rematch of the World Cup encounter with them.

Alright my second vaccine appointment is scheduled for right after the Portugal game, so the day can't possibly end in disappointment regardless of what happens.

It's going to be in the arena the Toronto Maple Leafs play in, though, so there will be lingering disappointment no matter what.

Seemed fair to me. Denied a clear goalscoring opportunity. If he had hacked him down instead of it being a handball there would have been no debate and in terms of goalscoring opportunity, it's the same.
Even if he got around him the defensive cover was there. Seemed extremely harsh.

The fact he was sent off means the defensive cover wasn't there.

Pretty much. The next man was behind them and all the way across towards the centre of the box. That's a ton of ground to cover before he could get a shot off.

Holy hell. Netherlands the choke artist. It really sucks as a supporter who wants them to win "something' in my lifetime.

I can only imagine how much it would suck to see your actual country do a tremendous chokejob in something like this. It must be infuriating.


Choking is what we do best.. Have you seen 2014?

Watched it again. Horrendous decision on the red card. Everyone keeps saying Schick was through, no he wasn't. De Ligt still had position and Schick was kind of going through the back of him. In fact if De Ligt doesn't handle the ball you could've argued that Schick was fouling him.

Not as though the Dutch played well enough to win but still.
