"The European championship is set to be expanded to feature 24 teams from 2016 instead of the current 16, according to Franz Beckenbauer."
The Kaiser, recently appointed vice-chairman of Uefa's development and technical assistance committee, broke the news to the public.
"Yes for sure it's going to be 24 teams, The European Championships will not lose any quality by that."
Scottish FA chief executive Gordon Smith had this to say:
"It will make it easier for other countries such as England who failed to qualify for Euro 2008.We didn't do it specifically for that purpose however."
Cheeky Devil.
The proposal is the brainchild of the Scottish & Irish FA's who brought it up last year. After all if Scotland didn't deserve to be there, who did?
In all honesty I believe that if Serbia & Scotland had qualified it could have been a very different tournament.
The new format will mean fewer countries will have the capacity to host the tournament but it is believed the 53 member nations are unanimously in favour of the change.
