		<description>I disagree.  To qualify in UEFA you already have to play fewer games (10) than  CONMEBOL (18), CAF (12+), and CONCACAF (18 or 20).  The reason other confeds have playoff rounds to lower the number of teams is because they need to get all those countries down to 4 or 5 spots.  UEFA doesn&#039;t have that problem.

Plus that would never be approved.  Why would the big countries in Europe want to play six qualification games?  If you have a slow start, now you are looking at must win games.  Playing ten or 12 games to qualify increases the chances of the big nations to qualify.</description>
