    I think getting an automatic place is a doubled-edged sword, the qualifying rounds can get the team in shape, identify weak spots

    yeah, there's pros and cons, when there's multiple host nations, the argument for having auto-entry for hosts is surely weaker

    imagine Andorra hosting Euro 2012, would Spain and France get auto-entries too?
