If its a 2004 championship... why in gods name dont they do it in 2004? Just how many games are we talking about here in order to justify a 3 year lead in?

this is the qualifiers for the championships. the top teams from the groups [played out over the next 18months], usually of 5 countries, go to the 24 [i think, or it might be 16] team euro championships.
