Euro Quaifying Week of September 3rd to September 8th

Qualifying for the 2016 European Champions commences tomorrow as teams across Europe are trying to punch their ticket to the European Cup that will be taking place in France in June of next year.

Most teams have played six games out of the ten game group format. The only exception to this is group I which contains the likes of Portugal and Denmark among others.

This week of games will be very vital for countries in the middle of a dog fight. With the tournament expansion to 24 teams, it is going to create intense action from teams that aren't used to success at this high of a level.

The times are listed in CEST. Teams are either in groups of five of 6 teams with the top two teams qualifying for the European Cup. As of now, no teams have directly qualified however by Tuesday afternoon, there will be a few teams that will have punched their tickets.

Games in Italics and bold are the games that I'll be keeping my eye on.
