Euros 2016

[Vinegar Tits 606]

Anyone been to any matches yet? I went to Germany v Ukraine in Lille last Sunday. Fantastic (and friendly) atmosphere, not a hint of trouble. I'm going to the R16 match (so probably Spain v ???) next Saturday in Lens too.

[Dr. Zorders 1,271]

I actually enjoyed the England vs Bales match

Uh, Wales.

 

Enjoying a football match, should have known that was a bad sign.

The elite players have been rubbish so far (Bale, Ibrahimovic, Ronaldo) - apart from Bale's 2 free kicks that is

[Spade_Cooley 9,549]

Sweden have had two shots on target so far this tournament, both were from Ciaran Clark.

Croatian fans throwing flairs at officials and their own players and then fighting with each other in the stand. Turns out a section of Croatian supporters are deliberately attempting to sabotage the national team at every opportunity, they were attempting to get today's match abandoned as they believe the guy who runs Croatia's FA is corrupt. They also take Nazi flags into matches in an attempt to draw fines for the team and get them kicked out of the competition. The fighting was a result of ordinary fans attempting to sort them out so the match didn't get abandoned.

 

To appear consistent UEFA are going to be required to warn them they'll be expelled if this continues, which means you can expect to see the same routine should they win their next match.

So deathers, are you going to call for England to not get the gig if Russia are dethroned from their promised tourney?

How do you get tickets??

Honestly, we could hold the tournament at the drop of a hat, we would be the best at controlling hooligans, we have the stadium, the infrastructure and its been 50 effing years since we last held it.

Why the f**k not?

( Yeah Chaz, because we are English......c**t! )

The lack of domestic hooliganism incidents in the last 16 years on the scale of Marseille last weekend proves we'd be more than capable. However, I don't think UEFA would let us. Not to mention are police are one of the few in Europe who regular work inside football stadiums with home and away sections.

20 years, remember Euro 96?

[msc 18,487]

If Russia do lose it, I could see it being given to the USA. (Though they or the Ozzies should have got 2022.)

 

Europe wise, Germany.

 

Though we could just give it to the Ukraine for a laugh.

[Deathray 2,941]

Spain first team to win by more than 3 goals.

 

Regarding the UK hosting either the Euros or World Cup. We could host either at a canter.

 

Euros Requirements:

2 stadiums with 50,000 seats, 3 stadiums with 40,000 seats, 4 stadiums with 30,000 seats (9 stadiums).

 

Wembley Stadium, 90,000

Twickenham Stadium, 82,000 (if permission can be gained from RFU)

Old Trafford 80,000 (after expansion)

White Hart Lane 61,000 (after rebuild)

Emirates Stadium, 60,338

Stamford Bridge 60,000 (after expansion), otherwise 41,000

Olympic Stadium, 60,010

Etihad Stadium 61,000 (after expansion), or 53,000

Stadium of Light, 63,000 (after expansion, could reach 83,000 but will never be) , 49,000

St James Park, 60,000 (after expansion) or 52,000

Anfield 59,000 (after expansion) or 44,000

 

Other options

New Goodison Park - up to 60,000 seats, low as 39,000

Villa Park up 50,000 as low as 42,000

Hillsborough up to 44,000 as low as 38,000

 

Look at Qatar stadium sizes that would easily qualify us for the world cup.

 

If UEFA backs down and allows rail seating, as would be sensible, those stadiums could all hold 1.8x those amounts.

[msc 18,487]

Six of your stadiums are in the one city, which they wouldn't allow.

Charon was referring to the 2018 WC in Russia.

I remember Euro 96, I was 31.

See the three additions. They'd need to allow us to use at least 3 or 4 London stadiums, otherwise we're fucked.

 

Other options is and England/Wales/Scotland bid then Cardiff City, Celtic Park, Hampden Park and the Ibrox would be on the table.

 

3/4 London Stadiums

2/3 Glasglow Stadiums

2 Manchester Stadiums

2 Tyne and Wear Stadiums

2 Liverpool Stadiums

1 Cardiff Stadium

1 Edingburgh Stadium

 

That'd be 10-12 stadiums across 7 cities.

 

The clustering would also allow you to base teams in good areas close to them.

One of those 'flares' nearly blew the poor fucker's face off that bent to pick it up. Ban the whole fucking country, kick the cunts out of the competition. All of them. Every country who's fans are involved, send them all home, fans and players, that'll teach the fucking inbreeds. It's always fucking football fans, you don't see this shit at fucking Wimbledon (tennis, smart arse), or Lords, or Frimley fucking Green.

 

And I swear to God if that fucking swear filter is on after I just typed all that on my phone, someone WILL die.😄

 

C U N T S!

This reddit thread provides a much fuller insight into what is hapenning in Croatia. Mamic is a cunt who exploits his players for financial gain

Indeed he was my bad. I remember 1966 so pardon my senility.

Hungary playing gives the BBC all the excuse they need to round up anyone left from the 1950s to discuss Puskas et al in a little pre-match package. Brian Glanville looks in fine fettle, Albert Sewell (Match of the Day statistician for 30 years) not so well.

[msc 18,487]

Glanville still supplies weekly rambles articles for World Soccer.

[Deathray 2,941]

The scary Icelndic chant thing is back and the Hungarian fans are responding, this sounds absolutely freaking amazing.

Thank God, I thought I was the only one.

Continuing the discussion from yesterday, does anyone think we'll hold another euros or world cup?
