UEFA has said only two host nations would be able to automatically qualify out of 5. England has taken one for the team and said we’ll reject it, as we have more chance of naturally qualifying, so that Wales, Scotland, NI and RoI have a greater chance. Surely this should be praised?

only two nations can be auto qualified, given england is likely to qualify it's actually a good decision

[@joshualiley]

I don't see this as strange for a few reasons: 1) England are not the only hosts. As only 2 teams would be allowed automatic qualification, it would be a bit unfair on the other 4 hosts to just claim one of the spots for ourselves. 2) England should have no trouble qualifying, which means that actually this allows the free spaces to some of the other home nations that might struggle a bit more. If England took that spot, that would reduce the number of free spots to the other nations. 3) With other European nations playing Euros qualifiers and South American nations playing World Cup qualifying, England will struggle to find top class opponents to play in friendlies, especially in a more competitive environment. This will keep them reasonably match fit for the tournament

For the weird anglophobes and England haters in general making bizarre remarks about 'England being England' or acting like it's arrogant, it's more or less just England avoiding being accused of having an easy route to qualification. It's taking away the automatic qualification to prove they deserve it, while also relying on their quality team. It's just typical England bashing from some people on here determined to have it that no matter what England does (either the country or the football team) there is no positive spin to put on it. That there _has_ to be arrogance involved. How about no? If this were anyone else there'd be gushing over how modest it was of them.

It's not to prove anything. The reality is that the England squad would be strengthened by having to compete in the qualifiers, thereby standing a much better chance of winning the tournament itself.

[@randomguy4989]

The real reason is not really explained in here. Usually a competition is hosted in 1 or sometimes 2 countries (like Japan + SK) but this time there are 5 teams that are listed as hosts (England, Wales, Scottland, Ireland + ROI as they technically also have their own squad). But the organizers thought that giving 5 teams automatic qualification would be too excessive for the tournaent, so there are only 2 who get in that way. As England has by far better teams than Wales and Northern Ireland they agreed to let weaker squads take the automatic spots as that could let most of them play the tournament at the end. This is also so most of the host nation team are able to participate at the tournament at the end.

I respect this decision a lot actually, rejecting a handicap and wanting to reap the benefits of the teams hard work is respectable, should give a wake up call to the teams

[@afn4775]

This is like the most clickbait channel on this whole platform. Definitely clicking that "Don't recommend this channel".

[@BigKB-ws9le]

Unfair that Ireland Scotland Wales and northern Ireland now have to try qualify after paying to host it.

[@vincenzofranchelli2201]

if they dont qualify itll be the most england moment ever

[@man-uk8cz]

The scenes if england dont qualify will be history books level

[@GlodelaniaChannel]

This is why Germany is the home of European football

[@jongo4570]

Because England decided to let weaker teams like Wales the ROI qualify????

[@SongBillong]

It's actually a very fair and sportsmanlike decision. Well done, England!

[@Noobplaysrobloxs]

They won the game today

[@SongBillong]

@@Noobplaysrobloxs They did indeed! It's coming home 🦁🦁🦁

Who's here after England are in the 2024 euro final and ronaldo went out

[@chadguevara8284]

Why is this crazy? That's actually a quite respectable decision

[@prochappg9918]

england don't say that we dont know how good our next manger will be.

[@TheReferencer]

It would be typical, England fail to qualify, get through by being the hosts and then go on to win and everyone disputes it as they were knocked out already

[@bentaylor6995]

Wouldn't really be typical as England have only failed to qualify for the euros once in 20 years so the chances of them not qualifying are very slim

[@jamesg9468]

How would it be typical? England's record is being pretty much the best in the world at qualifiers/friendlies, and then failing at knock-outs.

[@HZWY_Records]

Bro, if we dont qualify im off to big ben to do a lil artwork to englands no.1 prize 😂😂😂

most england thing ever, kane will be retired by that time so interested to see their 2028 team

[@bentaylor6995]

Kane will be 34 in 2028 and doesn't rely on pace so what makes you sure he will be retired?

[@joemarron5515]

You damn right that’s the most England thing ever, putting other countries before there own.

[@Ze_Pequeno.067]

Its good, otherwise too many countries will qualify for that euros. And it will keep England sharp. Euro 2028 seems great euro 2024 will be great too England and Germany the two most football crazy countries in Europe

[@nezkeys79]

Maybe they wanna give one of our neighbours a chance to be in it, but they're probably too small. I think Ireland Wales Scotland have some nice views though but maybe that's not the popular view, lol. Would be nice to see Wales and Ireland in it tbh 😅 Also that reason of preparing better is weird. If they play no games they avoid unnecessary injuries. Also helps them have better club seasons. Friendlies still exist Of course I would love the tournament being here in England.

[@maxrelton5554]

Yes let’s cram the England football calendar even more making sure we inflict maximum fatigue and injury risk on the squad before a major tournament after a long and intense premier league season 👏

[@jamieisausername]

Oh no! More football!

[@RyanKeane9]

Only 2 host nations can qualify. This makes it more likely that other host nations can be at Euro28. 👍🏻

[@javierrojo1153]

this has the potential to backfire tremendously.

[@TrickyTree84]

It won't

@@TrickyTree84 Well, you never know, i bet the Italians never imagined they Will not play in a world cup, and that happened twice in a row.

It would be classic England if we didn’t qualify for the competition we are hosting

[@thomassmith9362]

England will qualify anyway so good for them to offer up the other two places

[@frankhainke7442]

Only playing friendlies does not improve a team. That is what experience shows. So it is a good decision to do the qualification.

[@richardboyce4635]

The FA make money on England home fixtures. Not crazy at all.

[@nigelcadiz8635]

Great decision by England. I've noted how teams suffer when they have a lack of competitive footie. AS for not quallfying, if we are not good enough we shouln't be playing in the finals.

[@misfit2022]

Hopefully for England pride doesn’t come before a fall

[@zack7438]

England, Wales, NI and Scotland will host it just for none of them to make the semi finals.

[@HZWY_Records]

I mean wales already did in 16 so I don't mind that

[@OblivionGate]

England have made it to the semi final of the last 2 World Cups and were runners up in the last European Championship so England have as much chance to win it as anyone else.

[@AlBowly]

And at a time we had almost forgotten about 1966, the memories will be revived again😂

[@fishyfish6510]

Remember when they didn't qualify in 2008 even with Rooney,Lampard, JT, Rio Ferdinand,Beckham, Gerrard etc😂

Whys there a shock? All very egotistical players who wouldn't work together

[@mickyblue9658]

How is this relevant? it's 2023 now, not sure if you've caught up yet...

[@badanabta]

@@mickyblue9658 not relevant? It's got to do with England, and England not qualifying for the euros, its a look back

[@shealey9763]

I would say that reason it was done was anything but crazy, it's called spotsmanship. Not all of the 'hosts' are allowed to qualify automatically, England turned it down to give others the automatic slots.

[@SunghoonsPeYboRiTe7]

Yh we qualified, got to the finals and lost 😁

[@saagar1019]

If Southgate doesnt perform in euros next year, hes out. And if a good manager comes in, england will be a force to be reckoned with

[@NeeleshReddy-zi8ww]

Who's here when the lost again 😭

[@johanntan86]

Without qualifiers, they only have international friendliess to get the team togather... Its not crazy but smart. If their group is filled with minnows, its a chance to determine who will fill the 22 men squad.

[@Zegduy]

about what he said about them not qualifying...

[@22dolls19]

I admire taking one for the team, but I still want to see them not qualify just for the spectacle that follows after

[@achimsinn6189]

On the flipside - just imagine 5 countries being automatically qualified for the tournament and how that would likely force UEFA to alter the qulaification by a lot.

[@OlivierBarthez]

really giving the universe’s script writer a golden opportunity for comedy

[@chrisb4003]

Its a bit different when there are 5 home nations. usually theres 1 free entry for the host and 1 free entry for the holder but im sure this was part of the negoiation for the British Isles to host the euros, they cant have 5 for free

[@MortalDeathGaming]

I mean tbh I don't mind it. The last thing you want is during the 26/27 and 27/28 season International breaks being only friendlies like Germany has atm. The International breaks are already boring enough without every game being a friendly
