Well, with all the hype about England's "do or die" victory, i was wondering among the six teams in each Euro 2008 qualifying group, how many would make it to Euro 2008?

The qualifying process commenced a month after the 2006 World Cup. Austria and Switzerland automatically qualified for the tournament finals as host nations.
The qualifying format has been changed compared to previous tournaments. The winners and runners-up from seven groups will automatically qualify for the Championship, with the hosts filling the other two slots in the 16-team tournament. The change means there will be no play-offs between teams finishing in second place in the groups - they will qualify directly for the finals. Teams finishing in third place will not have any further opportunity to qualify. Six of the qualifying groups contain seven teams, and the other, Group A, contains eight.
Short answer = 16!

the qualifiers for the 2008 UEFA European Championship has been divided into 7 groups with Group A consist of 8 teams while the other six groups (Group B to Group G) consist of 7 teams.
each team in the group will play each other twice, home & away & only the top two teams from each group will progress to the finals along with the host nation, AUSTRIA & SWITZERLAND. there is no play-off involving the group runners-up.

2 per group = 14 teams plus Switzerland and Austria (hosts)
