It’s a bit rich given the mess we made of the Euros final, but they really need to stop giving it to these countries with poor infrastructure, poorly located stadiums etc.

Because Wembley was a cluster and English teams are more likely to reach euro finals because of money, if alls not well in logistics arrangements, English clubs cannot lodge complaints? Right oh, makes perfect sense

UEFA, fifa, EPL, only interested in making money. Fans will always be at the bottom of any queue when it comes to getting a fair deal and treated properly.
We‘ve been looking forward to European football - let’s hope the bastards running it don’t spoil it all.

It's a joke. Getting in and out of major games is just pathetic at the moment. Uefa in particular seem particularly gifted in this regard. No thought is given to the fans, it is all about the sponsors and the money they bring in.

Not on a par with what happened to Liverpool fans, but this sounds like a thoroughly miserable experience. Imagine going through all that if you'd lost! Uefa really are an awful organisation.

Shocking story - good that he wrote the article.

Turkey has held the finals before and has an okay infrastructure around Istanbul. A number of other nations have held it and done fine. Clearly there were issues.

France last year was a lot worse for well documented reasons. Wembley in 2021- We all know what happened.

I'm a big fan of European football and a firm believer in spreading the finals around.

I'd like Turkey to get the Euros, they are better placed than Italy at present, who dropped out of 2028 for 2032.

I think the UK will get 2028 and Turkey 2032
