The Fun Factory Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 It would be great to have the south american teams in the euros. 24 european teams + 8 south american ones. Most of the players play in Europe so would be easy for them. It would be of a better standard than the copa america- every time I try to watch some of that I am amazed on how poor it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is, nobody's five year plan is to go backwards The Great Leap Forward didn't really work though did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted March 24, 2022 Author Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) So the turks and russia have bid. Russia bidding is just irritating and prolongs the process for a tournamentthey have mo chance of winning.

villa4europe Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 UEFA had a hard on for the turks a few years back but got their fingers burned when Istanbul went for the Olympics instead so that'll be interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I'm actually surprised Greece have never made a serious bid. Guess the economy crashing a decade ago ruled things out but that would be a nice tournament for the tourist. Could include Cyprus in it for a few games. Think Uefa are nervous about security with Turkey as they've bid numerous times in past 20 years so really a co-hosting in future is probably the best they could do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Only a matter of time until FIFA and UEFA start an open war with both organizations wanting to have their own World Cup/European Championship Deluxe. FIFA funded by the Saudis and UEFA by Qatar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIFA funded by the Saudis and UEFA by Qatar I'm sure when they floated the club world cup idea it was a Japanese bank that was funding it The club world cup could be interesting if they did it right But if fifa seriously go down the 2 year world cup cycle route then bin them off, it's a terrible idea 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes before it got massively expanded to include more african and asian teams who were happy to vote for Mr Blatter. None of them have yet to reach a final yet.

Problem with cyprus is, stadiums are not very big and public transport there is very poor. There was at one point talk of a joint turkey greece bid but i can never see that happen as still some old wounds on the illegal turkish invasion of cyprus many years ago.

It's called the Euros for a reason. No no-european nations. End of. If we open it up then we have the Saudis all ovr it and that cannot happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Greece will be part of the Saudi bid to make people a bit more relaxed over it all The fact that the saudis will pile a few billion in to greek stadiums in order to buy a world cup should actually do the opposite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) And the headline I saw after a quick Google says turkey withdraw to focus on a 2032 joint bid with italy Its a farce now Edit - reading the article it says that UEFA favour our bid as they want to recoup the money lost for the corona hit 2020 tournament...
