Correct. We are the only country to have played at three Euros and not got out of our group once.
(We are also the only country to have played at eight World Cups and never got further than the first round).
I'm a bit torn on that one. Yes we can get some potentials into the squad, but it also gives our opponents a larger pool of possibly better quality to pick from.
The fact it's harder not to get a playoff than qualify for them makes this group a bit bobbins. Hopefully interest will pick up once the next phase is reached.
