POLAND & UKRAINE - UEFA EURO 2012

EllasOle · July 10th, 2005, 08:03 AM

For 2008, Greece and Turkey were close to being the hosts. This time around both feel that they can host one by themselves and I agree with that. I feel that it will be down to these two countries in the end. Italy has hosted enough football tournaments in the past and it's time for someone different. Olympics don't count when it comes to hosting a Euro and either does a CL final. People that are talking about England probably don't realize that they have hosted a Euro as recently as 1996. I don't think that UEFA will want 2 Euros in a row to be co-hosted as it takes away from the clubs that are actually trying to qualify for the tournament as it is hard enough to qualify for it when there are 15 spots. Personally, I think that Greece has a slight edge over Turkey because of the experience and infrastructure that the Olympics brought.
