[Football] It's coming home

Football's coming home with Mens Euro's

Great news that we've beaten off the opposition and been picked to host Euro 2028, I still remember Euro 96 fondly and I think this one could be even better (and we should have a team very capalbe of repeating the womens triumph last year which ended over 50 years of hurt).

Looking at the list of venues only gripe is only 2 of the 10 stadiums are in London (and the Theatre of Dreams is missing?!). Hopefully the stadium in Northern Ireland gets built but I fear it won't and then I expect one of the standby stadiums, most likely The London Stadium will step in.

“Beaten off the opposition”

Hmm not quite Turkey te only other bidder withdrew after getting the nod in a joint bid with Italy for the tournament after

Will the Amex get any games?

Maybe the Amex will get a game / hope so

It would have been nice to have seen Cardiff get the final. Wembley is probably the most appointed ground in Europe for major finals. Platini especially had a crush on it.

Wembley is seen by many as the home as football much as Lords is seen as the home of football and the Barnsley Metrodome is the home of ten pin bowling. The history and tradition means Wembley was always going to get the final but how on earth did some of the stadia get picked ahead of Old Trafford, the theatre of dreams?

Wembley can absolutely do one. The final should be in Hampden. I hope we end up hiring out Lancing to someone absolutely FLAIR like France.

Oddly enough, I think Old Trafford needs upgrading to meet the standard. I've never been there meself, but I'm sure I read that somewhere.

OT was not even considered. Its a rotting slum now, was never going to get the nod over the Etihad.

Why patch up an old shack, when you've got a penthouse next door.

Old Trafford and Anfield are both utter dumps and the reason we can't have VAR replays

Two stadiums is more than enough for London - there's a big country outside of London, which is just the capital city of one of the five capital cities involved - and most of the population of these islands doesn't live there!.
