Having the likes of England, Scotland, Denmark and Ukraine only brings more competition to the table, it wont hurt it. More teams = more fans = more money spent = economy happy. Also, if this trend of co-hosting continues, then I'd hate the fact that technically only 14 teams battled for a spot. So yes, please change it to 20 teams. Make it 20.

The tournament just seems so short, and this year there were a lot of surprises, having a few more "dark horses" could make it even more interesting. I think it’d be pretty good just to have 20.

Not that UEFA (and FIFA) necessarily care about that, they're only interested in the mulah ! Ryan: that is a great idea !!

Also we do not want hear the flack about 2 hosts any longer. I love it just the way it is, but I am not totally against expanding it. There are two schools of thought:
