So can we firmly say the new 24 team format has been a failed experiment and we should revert back to 16 teams for Euro 2012?
24 teams just encourages teams to do nothing but defend. Tonight for example, Slovakia would have had to win to get through and would have had to attack.
Neutrals don't wanna see that shite. It's counter productive to the tournament.

Euro 2020*
just make it 32 teams already
I agree, also the football level is low because there are too many shitty teams...go back to the 16 format after euro20
The powers that be only care about maximising the benefits, actually improving the quality of the product is not important for them.

Doesn't matter
UEFA get more money from TV rights now that more games are being played
>>68740647
honestly that'd be better. even with matches like kazakhstan vs israel

they must know that people are fucking bored of it tho

there shouldn't be a round of 16 - instead top 6 teams of each group + 2 highest placed runners-up should advance
if you finish 3rd - you're out
24 teams in group stage is okay

Say thanks to Platinì and Murdock

This would be more logical - 8 groups of 4 with the top 2 qualifying for R16. As they said, more teams means more matches, which means more money.
I like this euro most. I get to see and root for teams I never thought rooting for, like iceland and hungary. It's time to stop.

Have 20 teams with 4 groups of 5 teams each. top 2 of each of the 4 groups goes through to QFs
