Why should small countries have to qualify to play the big boys, they have as much right to play than any of the big countries. Everyone keeps going on about they get beat every time, tell me how they are supposed to learn and improve if they only play weaker teams all the time. And all this there’s too many fixtures, well stop playing meaningless friendlies, I mean England played Greece for no reason at all they could have used the Andorra game as a warm up to more strenuous games.
The big countries get seeded isn’t that enough or why not just get rid of the qualifying groups and invite the 32 biggest and best countries, by the way not mentioned anywhere this week were smaller countries like Lithuania drawing away against Italy << World Cup winners, Finland beating Poland away another team in the last World Cup, Republic of Ireland a country who not long ago were classed as a small country only losing 1-0 away to the World Cup semi finalists Germany or little Luxembourg only losing to another World Cup team Holland 1-0.
What people forget is that the smaller countries and teams are what make football different and one of the best if not the best sport in the world, were would the world cup be without America beating England in 1950, Algeria beating West Germany in 1982, Cameroon beating Argentina in 1990 or Senegal beating France in 2002 or were would the FA Cup be without teams like Hereford beating Newcastle, Wimbledon beating Liverpool and so on yeah lets kick the smaller teams out and get rid of the passion of football.
