Estonia is satisfied.

Last group seems interesting. I am also looking forward to Gibraltar's performance (seems like a better team than San Marino or Andora).

Imho

Group A: Netherlands, Kazakhstan, Iceland, Latvia, Turkey, Czech Republic
Group B: Bosnia-Herzegovina, Cyprus, Andorra, Wales, Israel, Belgium
Group C: Spain, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Belarus, Slovakia, Ukraine
Group D: Germany, Gibraltar, Georgia, Scotland, Poland, Republic of Ireland
Group E: England, San Marino, Lithuania, Estonia, Slovenia, Switzerland
Group F: Greece, Faroe Islands, Northern Ireland, Finland, Romania, Hungary
Group G: Russia, Liechtenstein, Moldova, Montenegro, Austria, Sweden
Group H: Italy, Malta, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Norway, Croatia
Group I: Portugal, Albania, Armenia, Serbia, Denmark, (France)

First 2 are bolded,3rd place in italics...

A lot of third places...

Well, my opinion:
Group A: Netherlands, Kazakhstan, Iceland, Latvia, Turkey, Czech Republic
Group B: Bosnia-Herzegovina, Cyprus, Andorra, Wales, Israel, Belgium
Group C: Spain, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Belarus, Slovakia, Ukraine
Group D: Germany, Gibraltar, Georgia, Scotland, Poland, Republic of Ireland
Group E: England, San Marino, Lithuania, Estonia, Slovenia, Switzerland
Group F: Greece, Faroe Islands, Northern Ireland, Finland, Romania, Hungary
Group G: Russia, Liechtenstein, Moldova, Montenegro, Austria, Sweden
Group H: Italy, Malta, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Norway, Croatia
Group I: Portugal, Albania, Armenia, Serbia, Denmark, (France)

Those are my dilemmas :)

Dont underestimate Estonia! (PS! Actually our opponents are free to do it. ;))

Well 3rd places still can qualify to WC...

As for 1st and 2nd:

Netherland, Turkey
Bosnia, Belgium
Spain, Ukraine [if current political situation won't mess them up]
Germany, Poland [he he]
England, Switzerland
Greece, Romania
Russia, Sweden [although it will be close with Montenegro and Austria]
Italy, Croatia
Portugal, Denmark

looking forward to matches on Euro like Romania-Bosnia or Switzerland-Greece, not to mention those teams from 3rd places, yawning loud already

Maybe I'm wrong, but more teams = more new stadiums needed (I think there will be 10 stadiums for Euro 2016) = good for France = good for Platini = good for UEFA :)?

I don't think that building more stadiums is that good for anyone, except the building companies...

often stadiums are being demolished/diminished after the big tournaments

not really, it's last Euro with one host, then we will have very strange tournaments, which take place in whole Europe, lol

Group A: Netherlands, Kazakhstan, Iceland, Latvia, Turkey, Czech Republic
Group B: Bosnia-Herzegovina, Cyprus, Andorra, Wales, Israel, Belgium
Group C: Spain, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Belarus, Slovakia, Ukraine
Group D: Germany, Gibraltar, Georgia, Scotland, Poland, Republic of Ireland
Group E: England, San Marino, Lithuania, Estonia, Slovenia, Switzerland
Group F: Greece, Faroe Islands, Northern Ireland, Finland, Romania, Hungary
Group G: Russia, Liechtenstein, Moldova, Montenegro, Austria, Sweden
Group H: Italy, Malta, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Norway, Croatia
Group I: Portugal, Albania, Armenia, Serbia, Denmark, (France)

This time we will finally make it..

I don't think it is that bad that in the future they will play the games (probably) in already existing stadiums in big cities with football tradition.

For example even for the 2006 World Cup in Germany there was at least one stadium built that has had no revenue since then. Thats just 30 Mio € built somewhere in the countryside for nothing. Standing there as a monument of wrong spending. So if that happens in Germany where there are probably 30 professional football teams with an average attendance of 15.000 or more every gameday, what is happening with the stadiums in Ukraine, Brasil (Manaus), Katar :D. That is just spending money and destroying nature then.
