Was a solid 4/5 pre-tournament, as I love the Euros and the World Cup, but quickly down to a 1/5 now.
Whichever #@&%! at UEFA that came up with the idea to host the competition across about 20 £#%&!ing countries needs to be shot. It feels like a tournament with no identity as there’s no single host, and feels like a set of qualifiers, ffs. Absolute shite. This is also unquestionably the worst tournament in my memory for co-commentators; already had the misfortune of listening to Jermaine Jenas, Robbie Savage and John Hartson, who have been insultingly bad. |

For me, the host nation is intrinsically linked with the identity of a major competition, and adds to the charm - Italia '90, USA '94, Euro '96, France '98, Russia 2018 etc. Great tournaments. I like how there's often a chance to learn more about a particular host city, and there's always a proper buzz whenever the hosts play. This current format seems a complete mess. Apparently it's only a one-off as Platini did it to mark the 60th anniversary of the Euros, but with the money involved I wouldn't be surprised if it catches on. Hope not. |
