Is this like the world cup, but for europe? Basically a tournament. Its not a league, right?!?

 

[PackerClone]

Right, there is qualifying and whatnot, the field is only 16 teams and it is often considered the hardest tournament to win. Same format as the world cup as well.

Some great action too, I love watching the EURO games, wish it was more often than every 4 years.

thats why they have the world cup 2 years after

In light of this, I suggest the NBA only play games every eight years. It may become interesting enough to watch the playoffs.
