Would be almost relieved if it's moved to a single country now that we haven't qualified. Having the tournament in Dublin without us being involved would be horrible.

Not as horrible as a load of Nordies rolling into town. LOL

I'm not actually sure though if this will come to anything - so far, the only coverage of this that I've seen tonight is from a handful of tabloid websites. It's not even on either the BBC or RTE football websites. And even the articles I have read have 'speculation' stamped all over them, imo anyway.

Yeah but everyone knows that realistically the festival of football format will not work and will be ill advised, even there this is a vaccine starting to be dished out. They will want to get into a bubble in one country with one set of rules, etc.

Yeah, but the FAI is bust, so needs the money that comes with hosting it.

Think of it like receiving a huge tax bill, and having to rent your yard out to Travellers to pay it. Wink

You could be right, though it sounds to me like someone at UEFA may have leaked it to these guys:
https://hwww.leparisien.fr/sports/football/euro-2021-l-uefa-etudie-des-solutions-de-repli-pour-maintenir-la-competition-02-11-2020-8406212.php#xtor=AD-1481423553

With everyone else running with it from there eg
https://httwww.football-espana.net/2020/11/02/uefa-consider-hosting-euro-2021-in-russia-and-not-across-12-nations-as-originally-planned-report
https://httpwww.eurosport.com/football/euro-2021-uefa-to-consider-russia-as-sole-host-of-delayed-tournament-report_sto7977244/story.shtml

'Russia Today' are also running it, so it must be true! LOL

Surely it's just Category 4 that's required isn't it? So any stadium that hold Champions League can hold Euros games.

I would assume they can be easily adjusted to make them suitable.

They must have at least 12 stadiums that have decent capacity.

Moving the tournament on account of the pandemic to the country with the most deaths in Europe(the UK), won’t be an option regardless of other factors.

And England coming for the Rof16.  Big smile

I know I'm in the minority on here but I do hope Northern Ireland win and come to Dublin.  Although on penalties is best for us from a seeding perspective.  
  
I agree the 12 city format will not happen now as planned.  One host or a cluster close by is much more likely.

I'd still be surprised if it ends up in Russia.  They hosted a superb World Cup but not many trust their COVID numbers.  I'd take my chances on the Oxford vaccine rather than the Russian one as well.  It would be a financial decision.  Putin would love to host it and could guarantee full stadiums.  

I assume Germany will sit tight and host a fantastic tournament in 2024.  England are the logical hosts possibly with us and Scotland keeping our games.  

I don't think the original format will ever be repeated.  Michael Platini is history and the main reason for the proposal was to stop Turkey from hosting it.  I still believe Turkey would be great hosts but given the current political situation there it would be wiser to wait a few years.

It was a nonsense idea when it was first announced never mind now.

Surely stadium capacity won't matter if the games are played behind closed doors?  So long as media and advertising requirements are met, matches can be played at any ground.  That's why Real Madrid are playing at their training ground at the moment whilst the Bernabau is being redeveloped..

But isn't the "one country host" idea being suggested in order to allow spectators to attend (if only in restricted numbers, and possibly confined to locals)?

Whereas if there are no fans allowed in, then it should be possible to find at least 4 or 5 countries which can organise matchday "bubbles", with teams travelling between them where necessary on chartered aircraft etc.

True - but we all knew that anyway and it didn't stop it.

There can't be many countries which could host such an enlarged tournament at relatively short notice.

France, Spain, Italy and England possibly, but all have had big Covid issues.

Germany will get the next one.

Turkey aren't popular.  Belgium/Netherlands possibly, except that the former has by far the highest Covid death rate in Europe.

It could end up being Russia by default.

And brown envelope.

Russia has big Covid issues too so hard to see how they'll get it by default.

You would think so but unfortunately not, I remember reading it before in terms of when England were preparing for the 2018 WC bid that the likes of Old Trafford and Anfield would require major upgrades in terms of capacity for media and areas around the pitch etc.
