Euro 2016 to be held in...

[Herr Tubthumper]

So that'll be 3 major football tournaments in 32 years - good going. We - the home of football - have had 1 in 43 years.

Thanks to Lord Triesman than run now looks like being extended to 1 in 54, with Euro 2020 our best bet.

It's not just Triesman. The bid has been shambolic from the start. There was handbag-gate, there are not politically savvy with important figues e.g. Jack Walker and the various departures and splits in the bid team.

Turkey's bidding record:

That is what I want to know, who came second in the bid?

The Itis came second but Hungary and the krauts would replace them according to this: Germany and Hungary could replace Ukraine as Euro 2012 host
