Both are bog average and show that it should be 16 teams not 32.
I thought it was more than 32 these days? Agree, quality over quantity for me, I remember the good old days when only England had a hope in hell of making it…undermines the tournament if you’ve got a Northern Ireland there for me

It's 24 teams (6 groups of 4) but that's too many as well.

And you have the farce of best 3rd placed teams going through to the knock out round.

Wales no longer have a stand out player who can win them a big match. In recent times they had Bale, and before him Giggs. Hopefully now they'll fade away into the abyss for 20 years or so. Scotland have a better squad than Wales these days.

I like Wales very much and am very disappointed that they’ve lost tonight.
To put it in context Poland’s population is ten times bigger.
But then again they’ve got zero beaches (of any consequence) and Wales have many lovely ones.

Dont agree with that: Keefer Moore had an outstanding game I thought. Why didnt he ever come our way during his West Country travels.

Ryan Giggs, Gareth Bale...Kieffer Moore.

If it was about population size then China and India would dominate international football. I don't have a problem with Wales and I'm sure the coastline is lovely, it's just since that video of their players celebrating England's loss to Iceland in 2016 I've always supported their opponent.

I’m very sorry I’ve offended you (not).
But I still like Wales very much.
Can I suggest you go to the Gower Peninsula, Pembrokeshire or even further north if you dare and have a look around.
Or you prefer to stay where you are and continue to contemplate Euro 2016, fair enough.

Strange response. I wasn't offended at all.
