		<description>I do not agree with the article. What is the problem of extending to four more teams the tournament? It will be longer and more interesting. The Copa America has all the teams of the Conmebol and it is a pretty interesting tournament still. It is a matter of more matches more money, but at the end I do not see any disadvantage of doing this.</description>

		<description>You are right. That's what we have the qualifiers for.

However, knowing how the likes of FIFA and UEFA think, Euro probably will be expanded in the future. And it won't be because of pressure from participating countries. It'll be for profit - from the fans as well as sponsors and media coverage.</description>
