Expand it to 256 teams and be done with it. Might have to invent a few new countries but it's less ridiculous than half the poo poo proposed now. 8 knockout rounds, sorted.

Controversial opinion but England have been alright and done well to keep their heads and stick to the game plan despite conceding an early goal.

Contrast to the Iceland game where they looked utterly clueless and bereft of ideas after going behind to a "well-organised defensive side" and it's much better.

Still had a few scares but whatever, it's been somewhat exciting to watch at least instead of the usual stale poo poo.

I was going to post a helpful image to explain how it all works but I can't make imgur do what I want so you're on your own.

Basically there's four leagues (or groups), each group (or league) has four leagues (or groups) in it with three (or four) teams each. They play each other home and away and the top team in each group (or league) wins something. There's a four-way final playoff for the four winners of the top group league groups, and also some poo poo about extra qualifying places for Euro 2020 but loving hell I really don't care.

I don't think the groups (or leagues) are seeded so I expect England to lose hilariously in an "easy" group of Iceland and Switzerland or something.

Oh, and at least one of the shittiest teams will go to the Euros so look forward to Kosovo being dunked on in two and a half years time.

Group 1: Andorra, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Georgia.

Group 2: San Marino, Moldova, Luxembourg, Belarus.

Group 3: Kosovo, Malta, Faroe Islands, Azerbaijan

Group 4: Gibraltar, Liechtenstein, Armenia, Macedonia.


Look forward to seeing one of these teams gracing Euro 2020 with their part-time stylings.

Group 1: Israel, Albania, Scotland.

Group 2: Estonia, Finland, Greece, Hungary.

Group 3: Cyprus, Bulgaria, Norway, Slovenia.

Group 4: Lithuania, Montenegro, Serbia, Romania.

Scotland get the small group. Is that good or bad or neutral? I like Group 2 being in alphabetical order. Montenegro is Serbia which seems unfair. Analysis!

so the poo poo teams are all in leagues so when they play friendlies they get points so if they don't qualify for the euros the top four teams of each poo poo tier - providing they haven't already qualified for the euros - get to go into a play off so they can qualify

right

I don't understand the sequence of words in your post but it seems about right. Also if they do good they'll move up to the next tier and then not be able to win games any more so won't qualify for poo poo and will be relegated again probably.

It's an interesting but terrible system.
