The expansion to 24 teams is a bad idea. One of the great appeals of the European Championships was that unlike the world cup, you cant afford a slow start. It was a condenced talent pool without the dead wood. The small size of the tournament is what led many to consider the Euros a harder tournament to win than the WC.

If i was Turkey I wouldnt even bother to bid again. UEFA might as well just pick 5 countries and rotate amongst them selves every 4 years. Democracy my ass.

Bhawhaha - democracy! LOL!

LOL^

la France!!!! Good news :)

I wonder if Thierry had a hand in the decision.

Sorry I had to :lol:

24 teams? Really!? I dont think the euro needs that many teams competing.

platini... gave each committee member a bit of a shake down in the "oui oui".

Why bother having a voting system at all?


What do you think about the FourFourTwo article France to Host Euro 2016?
FRANCE were today named by UEFA as the hosts of the 2016 European Championships.

Have your say.
