Euro 2020

[ditchy]

Wembley gets to stage a Semi final and the final of Euro 2020 according to BBC

 

[Fred Oliver - Legend]

Wonder who Germany will play in the final?

 

[Bozza]

No matches for Qatar? Surprising.

 

[Hugo Rune]

I am totally shocked but over joyed. UEFA don't hate us any more! Obviously FIFA & Blatter had no part in this as they despise us. Well done to the FA.

 

[Tooting Gull]

With football coming home and the Euro 2020 final on home soil, the latest great English Golden Generation get to...watch it on TV at home.

A quarter-final in Baku may raise a few eyebrows.

 

[Wozza]

Bet it won't be as easy to get semi and final tickets as last time...

spreading it around devalues it for me. not bovvered

I think a lot of it is that they realise they'll rake the most income by putting it at Wembley. That's why it has hosted the Champions League final twice already.

I see Glasgow will be an independent country by them due to their yes votehttp://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Euro_2020

The last I heard only Germany and England applied to stage the finals with the German application being strategic. The understanding being they would pull out, leaving England the only application, in exchange for support in hosting the next full tournament.

I forsee the format for 2020 not working out well. EUFA will revert back to the current format for the finals from 2024 onwards.

England will but in a bid to host a future tournament, only to be told, "No chance! you have only just hosted the finals in 2020!"

Great news, a fantastic package put together by the FA which UEFA simply couldn't refuse. Well done to all involved, great news for English football.

This with bells on, I think we have shot ourselves in the foot far better to hold a full tournament do not understand having it here there and everywhere. makes no sense but probably more money for the people in power and thats what counts now I guess

Hampden Park over the millenium stadium? Are they mental?

Lower capacity 52k against 75 odd and Glasgow against Cardiff. Still nice for the scotch to win something I suppose.

Glasgow is an infinitely better city than Cardiff.

Completely this!

Each to their own. Cardiff any day of the week for me, Glasgow I've found to be a horrible shithole.

What is having quarter-finals in Russia and Azerbaijan all about?


Edit: Stupid question, money obviously.
