I think it has made it better, 24 teams; plus for some Euros, 2 countries host it (Austria/Switzerland Poland/Ukraine or Netherlands/Belgium) so only 14 made it in. That group last time, I think Italy, France, Sweden and Romania was fairly blah, Ireland were not too good last time, they are still better this time.
Ronaldo wouldn’t even exchange jerseys with Iceland. That was pretty rude. I understand his frustration some but still.
Portugal are just a top 15, maybe top 10 team but not good enough to win it all. Fine team nonetheless, I can’t understand why they’d bring that guy Pepe after acting so asinine in that World Cup game vs. Germany. He should be off their selection for always.
At least it’s good that there will be very few games in the final round of the group stage that won’t matter.
