we will play here ?
>>67648361
Because no one wants to bid for it anymore m8
>>67648361
Seems like such a shit decision. Completely ruins the feeling. The culture of the host county and fans from across Europe descending on that country is a great part of the tournament.
This Euro 2020 bullshit feels like a big disconnect between fans and UEFA executives that made this decision.
>>67648465
Most countries can't afford to build brand new stadiums. Look at us. We built MASSIVE stadiums that are now abandoned or empty. Most teams don't have 3k supporters per game, let alone 30k. Most of these stadiums don't even have teams that play there anymore.
Bidding countries would only lose money in the long run.
>>67648361
>we got cucked by Denmark
>>67648506
Then simply rotate it between Spain, England, France and Germany
>>67648506
desu I'd like the euro to be scaled down a bit so it could be held in normal countries without the massive commitment. Same with world cup
>>67648520
this
>>67648521
how do you suggest doing that? telling people to just not bother going to watch their national team play? the simple fact is that england, france, spain, germany etc can all provide 50K+ fans even in foreign countries to watch their games if they get the tickets,
>>67648540
Don't give them tickets. Obviously they're not going to want to make less money on purpose though, it's just my pipe dream.
>>67648560
International games should be the highest form of the sport. Not giving tickets to go and watch it is absurd.
>>67648520
>>67648534
That would be a bit boring, wouldn't it m8.
I have a feeling that most 2020 stadiums WILL be in those countries anyway.
And if 2020 is a "different" year, I have a feeling that is going to happen eventually. UEFA will want more teams and more seats per stadium (50k or bigger). And only those countries can either afford it, or already have it.
>>67648560
>>67648521
Can't Nordic countries host something between them in the Southern cities? Are the four capitals that far away from each other?
It would be a bit gay having 4 byes into the finals but 24 teams is plenty anyway.
>>67648568
They should give tickets until the stadium the game is played in is full, like every game.
>>67648576
Sounds fun, would watch. I think the schedule is full with wc and ec qualifiers all the time though.
>>67648520
Actually we should give it to Eastern Europe, where there are no Muslims who could bomb the tournament.
>>67648592
He's talking about you guys co-organizing the Euro.
>>67648574
The venues have already been decided for 2020.
London
Rome
Munich
Baku
St. Petersburg
Bucharest
Bilbao
Budapest
Grimbergen
Glasgow
Copenhagen
>>67648574
>I have a feeling that most 2020 stadiums WILL be in those countries anyway.
The host cities have already been selected
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Euro_2020#Venues
>>67648617
>Baku
>Grimbergen
LITERALLY WHERE?
>>67648620
>>67648617
>Azerbaijan gets a game
>no France or Portugal
>>67648617
>>67648620
Oh.. I didn't know that.
No Lisbon? No Madrid? No Barcelona?
Bilbao? Baku? Lol.
>>67648617
>baku
>>67648361
they should've held it in qatar
>>67648361
I literally don't remember where a single Euro has been celebrated. Only something about Innsbruck because the media here memed about it. Who cares
it's a great idea honestly
traveling across europe from game to game, experiencing different countries.
>>67648617
Apart from London, Rome and Munich this is an absolute meme list, wtf
Baku isn't even in Europe ffs
And where the fuck is "Grimbergen" supposed to be?
>>67648658
>>Bilbao
>He doesn't know about La Catedral
Dumb little brother
>>67648686
That's because you haven't organized a Euro for 52 years. I remember 2004 like it was yesterday.
>>67648658
A few of these places didn't put in a bid for it, or where beaten out in in a certain round, or a fellow city in their country won it. The point was t otry and spread it around which is why places like Baku and Grimbergen and Glasgow and Copenhagen are getting games.
>>67648697
Belgium.
Also I missed out Dublin and Amsterdam.
>>67648705
>WOW, some important event is being currently organized in my country, that makes each of my days more meaningful!
>>67648617
>glasgow
there will be a lot of glassings in the city centre that night
>>67648697
It's in "Brussels". It's going to be Anderlecht's stadium.
>>67648708
>letting a game take place in Belgium
RIP
>>67648617
would be better for everyone they just had the capital cities of all the major countries
>>67648704
I know about it, but not using the "New" Camp Nou? Absolutely disgusting.
>>67648705
>I remember 2004 like it was yesterday.
Yeah but that has nothing to do with the fact the game was hosted in your country
>>67648736
It does. We were bombarded with it since we won the bid. And it was EVERYWHERE. You couldn't walk 100m without seeing some advertisement with Euro 2004 on it. Especially during the competition.
And fuck Greece fa m ;_;
>>67648361
Because Turkey was the only nation that put in a bid and no one wants to have the Euros there.
>>67648617
>>67648645
>>67648697
>>67648706
'Grimbergen' is just North of where our national stadium is now in Brussels. The plans to build a new stadium on an old parking lot close to our current stadium is officially in Flanders in the town of Grimbergen. So our national stadium would still be for Brussels (Anderlecht will play there) but no longer in Brussels. Although only like a couple of km away from it.
Just a nice example of how fucked our political system is.
>>67648728
Should be
London
Paris
Madrid
Rome or Milan
Munich
Amsterdam
Lisbon
Stockholm
Moscow
Athens
Istanbul
Warsaw
Except I think the idea is to give it to countries who wouldn't otherwise host anything.
>>67648785
What capacity will that be?
>>67648785
Flemish independence when?
>>67648801
62k
>>67648789
yeah agree with that list, only the major cities have the infrastructure to handle major international events well
>>67648810
Mate. I'm all for national elections and complete bilingualism instead of this regionalized crap.
>mfw Brussels is supposed to be 'the capital' of Flanders but is mostly french speaking now
>mfw Flemish nationalists have no idea how to approach this conundrum
>>67648520
I like the smaller joint comps too BeNe(Lux) Aut/CH Ukr/Pol even the Iberia bid and scadi bid soon
>>67648838
>there was a iberian bid and a english bid for the 2018 wc
>we get russia instead
fuck everything desu
>>67648645
Baku is Azeri Asia
their trying to be europe now, see eurovision
a lot of controversy surrounding their arena building back then, and kept showing those two towers because they have nothing else
might go home to ireland for this tbqh lads
>>67648595
I thought muslims liked football. There are histories of Argentinians and Brazilians escaping terrorists attacks by shouting: MESSI! MESSI! RONALDINHO! RONALDINHO!
>>67648859
>russia is bad
stop watching yank telly pal
>>67648664
fucking azeri dictator wants to prove himself worthy of the west through corruption and big events. some kind of "european olympic games" were recently hosted there as well.
>mfw England win the yuros
>>67648888
I don't dislike Russia as a whole while I also highly dislike USA
but there is no comparation between a wc in Spain/Portugal or England and Russia
>>67648902
>wilshere
how does qualifying work? Most of the hosting cities will probably have their rep, but definitely not all
>London
yes
>Rome
yes
>Munich
yes
>Baku
lel
>St. Petersburg
probably
>Bucharest
nope
>Bilbao
yes
>Budapest
maybe
>Grimbergen
yes
>Glasgow
erm
>Copenhagen
yes, see crrent u21
are all hosts automatically qualified? is azerbaijan allowed to take part despite being in the afc?
wait.. azerbaijan is uefa? and have taken part in qualies before? naaah.. can't be, I've never noticed
>>67648888
I would rather go to the world cup in iberia or england than have to put up with russian transport and people
>>67648921
There are no automatic berths, everyone has to qualify
>>67648919
Although i really dislike the guy hes a good player and plays well for us. He can be a game changer...Slovenia game...so even if we can get a few games out of him before he gets wheelchaired, then thats a bonus, and we can replace him with Drinky for example
>>67648785
Don't see why it HAS to be refered to as Grimbergen if Charle-fucking-roi can be named Brussels South
>>67648918
my uncle went to Moscow 08 and said it was sound enough thats only a one match thing though i suppose
>>67648948
>66 league games in 5 seasons
>no 90 minutes in almost 2 seasons
>expect him to be able to cope with euro game pressure
Why aren't they using the highest rated stadium's like nou camp or stade de France other than these shitters like that stadium in Budapest or Glasgow
>>67648691
but i dont have any money
>>67648789
Amsterdam as a venue for the Euros is THE lads holiday
>>67648885
fell off my chair
>No Ireland
>tfw Aviva or Croke Park are much better than a lot of these meme city stadiums
>tfw no banter allowed
>>67649046
>nou camp
>high rated
It's old as fuck, that's why Barca wants to renovate it
>>67649169
>Oriel Park will never host France vs Italy
>>67649169
which one is the one with the uncompleted stand on one side?
I remember it from when we played there in the past qualifiers
It looked retarded 2bh
>>67648835
Don't worry, you'll be taking mandatory classes in Arabic in no time.
>>67649241
Hill 16 is meant to look like that it is completed
>>67649242
fuck off spic
>>67648506
I think Africa is out of the question anyway m8.
>People complained about travel schedules for the WC in Brazil
>Host Euros across the entire "continent."
>Manaus to Rio direct flight: 1,772 miles
>Glasgow to Baku direct: 2,630 miles
>>67648617
Host countries don't get to void qualifications do they?
We'll suffer the ultimate cuckening - failing to qualify for a tournament we are co-hosting.
>>67649241
Both of them are like that for some reason
Looks stupid
>>67648691
Who the fuck can afford that? Fans are going to miss out. Stadiums will be filled with 70+% locals.
>>67649294
visa issues for non euros i suppose but shouldnt be too bad aslong as you have a European passport
>>67649334
>not being a billionaire
baka 2bh
>>67649314
m8, you will never suffer a cuckolding greater than september 18, 2014, so if you survived that, you'll survive this.
The only problem with this is 2 teams are going to have to play in Russia and Azerbaijan before the semi finals in London which is obviously going to put them at a disadvantage to the other 2 teams
>>67648595
The eastern euro countries are more dangerous then western even with the threat of terrorists
>>67648921
>st petersburg
>implying this piece of crap will be finished by 2020
>>67649932
Nice view tho.
>>67648361
CULTURAL MARXISM ISN'T REAL THEY SAID
>>67649294
>F1 has to travel from Canada to Baku in a week
Baku trying so hard to be European is just a cover up by airlines
>>67648361
So how the fuck does this work logistically? All the teams are going to have to fly across Europe multiple times during the tournament and stay in multiple hotels aren't they?
What a stupid fucking idea
>>67650139
Teams will probably play within sectors for the group stages and so on so they don't have to fly thousands of miles for one game.
It's a retarded idea and will destroy the tournament atmosphere. I'm sure it'll be the first and last time it happens.
