I hope (and assume) not, otherwise there could be quite a few nations qualifying automatically.
I'd have thought Wales could end up having a chance of qualifying for the Euro's since there increasing the number of teams participating to 24. Depending on the qualifying group I'd have thought you'd have a chance.

Even with the expansion the number of nations that are developing would easily qualify over Wales, I know it's still 8 years off but there isn't any stability with Wales right now, under Speed was our best hope of ever qualifying for a tournament, and since he passed on. We haven't come close to looking like the side Speed developed, and I don't think we ever will. Coleman isn't a man to develop players or a team and he hasn't found a way to threaten teams like Speed could. Like I said this tournament is 8 years off and things will change, but if we continue down the road we're going on, I think we'll be back to the laughing stock we were towards the end of the 2000's

Nah, it's a poor decision but this is isn't even the worst decision about the Euros this year.
They've already said that won't happen.
What about those who want to follow their team throughout the tournament, Imagine the logistics of travel.

While this idea would probably be good from an economic sense (the income spread to all countries), it will just ruin the whole tournament atmosphere that you get when you have loads of nationalities in one area.

Group games would all be in the same 'region'

Framed correctly it could be a brilliant celebration of the best of rarely trodden Europe. Of course the reality is that it may well just be a casual perusal through the most well known names in European stadiums. But I'm not going to write it off just because it breaks tradition, I think it's an interesting idea if done well. It's nowhere near as bad as Blatter trying to get the 2022 World Cup played in the winter.

Shut up Franck, this is the worst idea ever, haven't you heard?

I really don't see how this is a bad idea at all.

I wonder how many folk actually bother to do that? Pretty much everybody I know that's been to Euros/World Cups was based in one city for the tournament. I'd also imagine traveling between the 2020 cities will be a bit easier than trekking though Poland and Ukraine, I mean, I'd be up for games in Paris, London, Amsterdam and Berlin one after the other.
We'll have had the same sort of tournament for 90 years when Euro 2020 comes around, I don't see the harm in them trying something new.

That is literally the opposite of what should happen

Might work that the winner of 2016 hosts the final or gets auto qualification?

Platini's already given France the whole tournament in 2016 despite them having hosted major tournaments recently.
Franck
1998 is hardly recent. May as well say England shouldn't have been in considered for the World Cup because you had Euro 96.

It's absolutely hilarious to read all the utterly moronic things that gets said by otherwise completely sensible English people whenever Blatter or Platini come up in a conversation. The ludicrous persecution complex you people have is just pure comedy.
