Breaking now.

UEFA have confirmed Euro 2020 will take place in several cities across Europe rather than a single host country .

Quote:
Football's 2020 European Championship tournament will be held in a number of cities across the continent, Uefa has announced.
It means there will be no one country hosting the tournament.
The Football Association has already put forward Wembley to European governing body Uefa as a possible venue for the final.
Uefa's executive committee took the decision at a meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland, on Thursday.
Wales, Scotland and the Republic of Ireland have also expressed their interest to Uefa in staging matches.
Uefa general secretary Gianni Infantino told a press conference after the meeting: "Some important decisions have been taken.
"Uefa Euro 2020 will be staged across the continent, in various major cities, following a decision taken today. A Euro for Europe follows an initial idea by Uefa president Michel Platini.
"The response has been extremely positive from all the national associations."
He added the bidding process for the host cities would start in March and decisions would be made in the spring of 2014.

The qualifiers are all played across Europe, this will take the focus off the competition and will harm their marketing potential. Silly decision.

What a spectacularly stupid idea, even by their standards.

i should imagine the teams involved will be extremely pleased about having to hoof it around a continent in the space of 3 weeks playing every group game in a different country.

I'd assume they'd have groups based in roughly the same area.

You never know with them though.

At least having it in one country means tens of thousands of fans can stay there hoping their side gets to the knockout rounds. How the £#%&! are you going to organise it if you could play in Rome if you win the group or Stockholm if you finish 2nd?

If only a handful of countries can stage a 24-team tournament, then why expand it in the first place?

And why's there so many countries, anyway? Half of 'em speak the same language but with different dialects. Delusions of grandeur. I'm looking at you, Balkan states. @#%&!s.

I've been trying to think of a single redeeming feature to this plan.
