i hate it so far, what do you think?

there used to be such nice groups, now its all about getting third by parking the bus...

Waste of time imo.

Qualifying was an absolute joke.

not ofc, said it when they announced the change, said it during the qualifiers which already were a joke and this group stage proves it again... bad change but money rules so i don't expect a change back...

The more the merrier? It's nice countries like Hungary, Iceland get to play in these(although some games will be boring). And if the euro changes to 32 teams maybe holland can be in it too!

It's awful.

If we have to have 24 teams, then the format should be like in the 1982 world cup:

24 teams in the group stage -> 12 teams in a second group stage, where you have 4 groups of 3 -> semis and final.

I like it. Gimme moar football, cant get enough. Then again 2 long years of waiting. Just enjoy it.

The only thing thats shit, its that we have now a game like italy - croatia/spain and otherwise games like france - northern irland or shit. Wtf is that

Awful.

You've got loads of teams that no one really wants to see - Romania, Turkey, Albania, Hungary, Austria, Iceland, Germany - ain't nobody got time for that.

on the onther hand, mediocre teams like Wales, Poland, England, Portugal, Switzerland etc. now have a decent chance to survive the group-stage...

its alright so far imo, even weaker teams showed some decent stuff

Don't mind it, it's slightly less exciting but not a big difference
