BRAVO PLATINI
BRAVO UEFA

That's what happens in group stages Hans

How many teams were there before?

Sorry...

Same down here

>invite Concacaf teams
>they play 10 men in defense who play murderball
Check Panamá numbres in this cup, these niggas are violent as fuck
>>
>>68390896
Seems like a flaw in the sport if so. Maybe, just fucking maybe, you stop rewarding teams for playing ultra-defensive and going for draws all the time by not giving them any points IF THEY NEVER SCORE ANY POINTS

you should never be rewarded for not attempting to score

And still netherland didnt made it.

16 teams

>>68390978
>implying

CONCACAF has dominated this tournament. Mexico has scored 5 goals in only 2 games, USA has scored 5 in 3, Costa Rica put up 3 goals on Colombia, fucks sake even Haiti got their first ever goal.

zero boring games so far Hans

The best games was a 1-0 featuring one of these shitty teams, Albania
>>
>>68391091
>Mexico has scored 5 goals in only 2 games
We socred 7 with Messi barely playing 30 from the 180 minutes, so what
>>
>>68390978
Why dont you guys just give mexico a spot already, youre all basically the same in many ways

>maybe then we would qualify to the WC
Also mexico is above amd beyond most conmebol teams, you guys would benefit from it
>>
>>68391166
They always get a spot in Copa America since all matches are played in 1 country, they just suck and have never won it

For the qualies it doesn't work, they are too far away from us
>>
>>68391208
You guys require that they send their u-23 team though
I mean give them a full blown spot, no conditions

Lmao, that's not true

They always send their best players but when they lose they claim it was their B or C team, because they don't have an A team. They even used this excuse for the WC lmao

In this competition, we can all agree, they have their best players. Let's see if they can win it. They are even playing at homesoil
>>
>>68391247
They've had chances like that in the past, Canada

even reached a final, but they lost

It's way better with 24 teams. I actually enjoy seeing teams like North Ireland,Wales,Romania and similar perform on EC.

You literally make them use their u23 squad for copa america

This copa centenario is the first in about a decade where theyve brought their "main" squad

The euro has been so boring compared to the copa America... No one can compare to the passion and fire the South Americans play with, making every game exponentially more interesting and fun to watch than all the 1-0s in the euro so far..

That being said the euro should pick up tomorrow when Belgium and Italy play but fuck it's been boring so far.. That Poland v Northern Ireland was the worst game I've watched in ages

Europeans literally don't give a fuck about Copa America and I see quite often Americans posting how it is better than EC so I seriously wonder who is frustrated and is projecting here.
>>
>>68391091
Wow guys you are pretty good, how many world cups COncacaf has? i forgot it
>>
>>68392022
We don't force Mexico to use a u23 squad they say they don't care abotu this cup and send their worst players
>>
>>68392110
I know that but you said they send there best players. It cant be both.
>>
>>68392195
They don't have an A team

They actually send their best players but when they lose they claim these wheren't the best. The same in all competitions
>>
>>68392268
They absolutely have A team. They never make that excuses besides the Copa America you never hear it for Gold Cup or Wolrd Cup. Are you claiming that all of Mexico best players are under 23?
>>
>>68392051
I don't give a shit if you care (you're country is shit anyway)

I was just saying its way more exciting to watch, Jesus

>>68392586
You are suggesting we are scared of Mexico and we force them to play their u23 team which is retarded

Mexico aren't a powerhouse, they've never reached a WC semis and could barely reach a quarter final and it was at home. They suck at football and they always have an excuse when they lose

They are the England of the Americas
>>
>>68388643

But at least it's full of memes this time.

Anyway I agree, the expansion to 24 is disgraceful. Specially that shit about some 3rd placed teams advancing. That's so retro...

But it's all for the moneys.

The euro is obviously more important and more prestigious.. Just not as fun to watch

Euros?
>>
>>68392687
Im not suggesting shit the other guy was. I couldnt care less if you made rules or not to keep Mexico to play under 23. I couldnt care less if you were scared or not. But when you say they send they best team to copa america, when in reality they dont becuase they dont care, playing gold cup and copa america in the same year or havent sent them in 10 years then you are lying to make them look bad.
>>
>>68392051
this copa is definitely better than the euros so far

its not americans, its fucking mexishits who pretend to be american when its convenient. Americans dont give a fuck about the copa america

holy shit i hate spanish so much

why did they pick such a stupid number as 24. Why not 32?

it's the beauty of world football

i have to watch Haiti right now get blown the fuck out for the second time this tournament

>>68394420
going from 16 to 32 is too big a leap

can't even imagine the shit that would qualify if 32 were let in

the dutch might even get in
>>
>>68394464
but 24 doesn't fit neatly in a tournament bracket and it triggers my autism

I thought NI won their qualifying group. Would that have sent them to the tournament regardless of the expansion?

its just the group stage friend
just watch for some meme magic, or wait like a week for knockouts

The only team that really really parked the bus was Northern Ireland.

Romania, Albania played with a defensive priority as their opponents were stronger but they created some really good chances and imo Albania deserved a 1-1 vs Switzerland and Romania drawing vs France would have been a fair result.

Nah, the quality of the competition would suffer with no groups

The matches would way more exciting if some faggot didn't dive every time the other team gained momentum.

I don't watch football all that often, but come the fuck on.
>>
>>68395038
Holy shit, I thought you were joking. I just read the final stage qualifying rules. That is the most retarded shit I've ever seen. Way too complicated to be anything other than completely stupid and arbitrary. Definitely hurts the overall tournament. I've always appreciated in soccer how teams only have to compete against teams they play. In the nfl a team can get pushed out of the playoffs by a team it didn't face that year. This stupid 3rd place shit fucks that up.

So you park the bus 3 times, you get 3 points and you are happy.

>>68395866
but even when there were 4 teams, they had a 17-team qualifying knockout tournament with home/away legs. also back then USSR + Yugoslavia + Czechoslovakia were all one country instead of many and places like Gibraltar were not UEFA members
