The Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has called for an end to the "crazy"
Euro 2008 qualifying system.
The Spanish football coach wants to bring in a pre-qualifying tournament
for the smaller nations to mirror the format used in the Champions League.
Benitez says England's players risked unnecessary injury in matches like
the one against Andorra.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger agreed with Benitez, saying Euro 2008 qualifiers
too often pitted 'big' nations against minnows in games that left the
major countries facing teams committed to packed defences and spoiling
tactics.
Wenger backed under-fire England coach Steve McClaren, whose side drew
0-0 with Israel last weekend and were booed after a goalless first half
in the 3-0 win over Andorra.
