I didn't realise Euro 2020 is being held in 12 countries 21:05 - Nov 14 with 3740 viewsgerryitfc

It'll just seem like playing qualifiers all over again. Let us hope this isn't a blueprint for the future of the competition.

I hadn't known that either - not given it much thought.

What's that all about then?

In 1996 it was all England and in 2020 its a bit of England.
In 1996 it was El Tel and in 2020 its Gareth.
In 1996 it was Shearer,Gazza,Sherringham,Pearce,Seaman and in 2020 its well um err.
There was a buzz in 1996 and in 2020 there's a faint hum.

Shoot me if you want but I'm right.

One off to celebrate an anniversary or something that Platini dreamt up.

Think most of the England games are at home. Both semis and the final at Wembley too.

Yes, although that's probably because the FA have made a conscious decision not to boost this as a home tournament, as they want to host another World Cup and doing so would detract from that.

I think every one of England's group games will be at Wembley. Sounds amazing.

I know that was then, but it could be again..

Each group has 2 countries hosting 3 games each. With the countries hosting, you automatically enter that group so England will be in Group D thanks to Wembley. We'd play the round of 16 and quarter finals abroad, so if we won the whole thing we'd have 5/7 games at Wembley which is pretty good going.

But probably a quarter final 2 days after the round of 16 in Baku or somewhere else really far away.

Platini's final bad idea, hopefully. Next thing will be that the already bloated Euros will be 32 teams in the "finals" and then a 64 team World Cup. You might as well abolish the already tedious qualifying process.

So some teams are going to have all or the majority of games at home? Or is it just England?

That doesn't really sound fair does it.....?

Its probably just guaranteeing even more than one of the "bigger" nations win it.

Each group has 2 host cities, if a country who is hosting qualifies they automatically go into that group. For us it's Group D, which has all it's games at Wembley and Hampden Park. If Scotland qualified, there was essentially a coin toss to decide where the match between England and Scotland would be.... Wembley won, but they won't qualify

Group A has Rome, so if Italy qualify they automatically go into Group A, etc.

I have tickets for two of Englands group games and tickets for the round of 16 in Dublin (so hope England win the group).

Can't wait.

I've got tickets for the 1st and 3rd group game as well as the 2nd semi final, so I also need England to win the group. Whilst the tournament is silly I think as a one off it makes a nice change, gives thousands of locals around europe to attend tournament games on their doorstep.

Definitely made it over confusing. I don't think it will have the same "feel" about it for fans going to the country where it is held.

Money must have something to do with it as well haha
