Hey dont knock the football history of Northern Ireland, they maybe shocking at the moment but for a country of only 1.5 million they have gotten to the world cup quarter finals twice 1958 and 1982. I dont think any other minnow has such a record

^ and they gave the sport one of its best ever players/stars.

Uruguay, 3.3 million, twice World champion, twice Olympic champion, fifteen times South American champion.

Ask him.

It should be in the three Baltic States(Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia)

Never ever, some 7 million people don't need 10 first-class-stadiums, especially no stadiums with 60k+ and 50k+ !!!

Germany or Spain

[GEwinnen]

Euro 2024 will be awarded in 2017, enough time for spain and Italy to overcome the crisis. To be honest, it should be Spain or Italy rather than Germany...

[alexandru.mircea]

Celtic bid or Scandinavian bid. Let's use this advantage of the 24 teams tournament and have triple hosts.

Lithuanian are more interested in basketball. They'd rather build a few multi-purpose halls than football stadiums

What about Estonia? Let's organise Euro 2024 in Malta and San Marino insted of this one. Spectators would more appreciate the mediterranean climate

If Spain builds the new mestalla and new atletico stadium,coupled with the bernabeu and camp nou they should definetely host it.Joint bids are not desirable..Scandiavian,scottish,baltic nations dont need a dozen white elephants.Those countries hardly ever get a team in the champs lge(except the scots).

I think a joint bid between two big nations such as spain/italy or italy/germany would be really cool, although it'll never happen :/

5v5 cities, no way.

Romania is much bigger so the ratio would be something like 6:4 or 7:5.Or even more leaning toward us.

Also, your city selection while good is not spread enough for Ro, Oltenians and Moldovans will scream foul, especially the former group.

Forgot to say... fantasy.

Just for context, those World Cups were won in decidedly different times and conditions.

Well, to be fair...

The Champions League and UEFA's payouts are grossly disproportionate to a select number of clubs, yet the largesse and appeal of the competition comes at the expense of all of UEFA. True, the brands of Madrid and ManU drive the bulk of global interest, but the competition only exists at all due to the presence of all the other leagues and their respective clubs. One could argue that the rich are getting richer at the expense of having minions to regularly beat upon.

Thus, in lieu of UEFA altering their payment scheme (which the clubs would never allow) I think it perfectly fair to use other leverage, like hosting UEFA events, as a means of helping clubs, cities and nations develop their infrastructure. No, I don't mean 60k seat white elephants or reaching every last little nation-state like Lichtenstein, but the past two paired-nation events have gone smoothly by most accounts and left some very nice facilities that could help those communities and clubs possibly reach new heights.

Bayern and Milan will always be fine and we'll see big events in their stadiums on a regular basis. So every once in a while I say reach out to the likes of Scandanavia and try something new and different.

Just my opinion, though. Cheers.
