Even more astonishing is that Serbia are out. And Switzerland probably should have made it at least to 2nd in their group, too.

Well, if Cro & B+H keep their act together, you might say the same of Portugal and Turkey. ^^

i'm still waiting for the abolishment of the bullshit "hosts don't have to qualify" system... most likely neither poland nor ukraine would make it out of qualifying groups

It will never happen in any sport.

Any tournament without the hosts is bound to flop with lack of atmosphere and enthusiasm from locals not just in football.So its kinda sensible to give hosts automatic qualification.

bs... do you think the only world cup games with good atmosphere were the ones where the hosts were playing?

No BS. The overall mood in the host countries will lack quite a lot of the enthusiasm that it has with their own teams in it.

Atmosphere doesnt correspond just to stadiums.

A lot more than that.If the hosts arent participating a lot of positive vibe will be missing and will affect the whole tournament badly.

Seriously why else do u think host is always guarenteed qualification in every tournament in almost every tournament.A strong host run will often ensure a great tournament success and its same in reverse too.

I dont know how to explain it exactly unless u experience it urself tbh.

Che is just pissed that they got tonked 4-0 by Aremnia

because fifa and uefa want to make as much money as possible out of the tournaments, duh... home people more involved = bigger income

of course the host nation should be involved, all the more incentive for their team to qualify... plus this issue used to be nonexistent until a few years ago... the likes of germany, japan, france, usa, brazil always qualify anyway, same goes for the last few euro hosts... it's when irrelevant countries get a free admission token because the organisers see an untapped market to milk when i get pissed off *cough* qatar *cough*

top post, very relevant, would read again

Portugal will go through no matter who they face here.

The draw went well for us and if we cant beat Estonia over two legs then we shouldn't be going anyways.
