It feels like Euro in 11 countries was a mistake

also those changes of cities during pandemic didn't help at all

why the hell someone had this idea...

this should be in one or two countries like usual, then the atmosphere would be great, and there will be less traveling for teams

Quote from JiminieKookie

I was in the supermarket earlier today and the radio station they played talked about soccer and god how stupid

"The German national team's hotel was chosen to look like the same hotel they stayed in as they won against the same country in 2018 they will play against, the trainer Löw says it probably increases the chance for the player to feel safe and be able to win again"

As I heard this I thought "WTF?"

lol Loew's brain stopped working some time ago haha

but for real usually, I bought those special magazines/books named Skarb Kibica (Fan's Treasure), when you have detailed information about squads and country which hosts the event but now I won't even spend money on that because it's useless.

There is a possibility that my country will also adopt the Euro currency.

If that happens we will be even more broke than Greece

talking about Euro as Euro 2020 (which btw should be renamed to Euro 2021).

Quote from motorp77

UEFA have some strange ideas sometimes.

Maybe they think there will be less contamination but I highly doubt it.

not only UEFA,

FIFA also with approving Qatar to host World Cup in 2022.

Gladly EURO 2024 will be in Germany,

and World Cup 2026 will be in Canada, USA, and Mexico. It will have 48 teams so it will really be a huge tournament.

Quote from motorp77

I mean Qatar was announced ages ago and we all know it's because of money. With the UEFA decision I think its much more random.

It's good to have more teams, I think it will reach more fans, give fans more matches and the competition will last longer as I always wanted.

Yeah but recently they've added some special section about human rights in the rules, which means we probably won't see any big tournament in middle-east in the next 20-30 years.

Also won't be surprised if at one point in the near future they will kick Mexico out of those three countries hosting 2026.

Quote from motorp77

yea maybe a lot can happen in the next 5 years though, I think Mexico is developed enough to respect those rules, at least in 5 years.

yeah but there are things like that

Quote from bea-valentina

that's a topic worth discussing

Quote from Kataphract

I feel like I might not bring much to the table though... From what I heard its like lowered borders for commerce, but also slap an overarching parliament over it?

that depends what you mean European Economic Area?

then Brits are out, and Switzerland didn't agree to join - so the same like with European Union, they both ain't in.

As for usual things within countries that are part of European Union the coolest thing is that you can freely travel through those countries, which also makes things much easier for truck drivers. Of course they are checked from time to time, but's is rather about checking cargo than driver himself.
