For me the whole qualifying thing is just a money making racket. Apart from a couple of shocks of a certain pair not qualifying it will be the same teams as normal in the end. Just have the finals and another one somewhere else for the weaker nations with movement between them depending on all results pre and during the tournament itself for the next one.

After the relative farce of the Euros (Covid / held over Europe) and the Winter World Cup, this should be a great one - a summer Tournament in a proper Football nation. (in saying that - I think the World Cup will be good when the Football starts, and some of the other talk dies down)

Andorra and typical other cannon fodder have started picking up wins because they’re playing teams of a similar level more regularly, they’re not just getting humped 8-0 every game. San Marino still seem totally beyond any kind of hope, mind.

Didn’t even realise the ballot was so soon. Assume it’s too late now!?
