Which is also boring.

Do you really want to see England vs Papua New Guinea?

I mean, granted, England would probably still lose, but if you add teams then you add games and you dilute the quality of frankly, an already fairly diluted tournament.

And you dont have to do anything other than point to the expanded Euros to see the proof.
