EURO 2020

UEFA EURO 2020

Organisation euro 2020

The culture secretary was on the Andrew marr show this morning , when asked if Wembley will be full come July 11th he said you carnt answer that question. He then went on too say about the importance of social distancing and seeing how the data goes , my point is do you think uefa have left it too late as they are still hell bent on staging it in all 12 country’s if possible. Surely this is now impossible. Why didn’t they just give every country an earlier deadline and if england or the uk was happy to stage it just say best and worst case scenarios ie 100 % 75-50-25-0

    "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women are merely Watching on tv".
    I think some stadiums will start with some fans, 5000 Dutch fans were allowed in, but some may start behind closed doors and allow later.

    There's also the parity aspect. Will it be viewed as fair that 100% of England/Scotland fans can attend but Croatian ones are prevented due to their governments border restrictions? We will see, but I can see some objections happening here. We will see.

    The idea of doing lateral flow tests at venues is just not practical. What if someone has travelled 100 miles by train and fails a test - how do they get home?

    Is that before or after having to spend 20 minutes queuing because someone at the front can’t work out how to scan there ticket.

    Its so frustrating when you see large crowds at sporting events in America, who are at a similar level re-the virus as us.

    If the FA Cup final can have a 20,000 crowd , then I was hoping that the Group games at Wembley could have at least 30,000, but the Government keep talking about the 'later stages' for bigger crowds.
    If any country drops out, then how will they handle ticket holders. Assuming they games will be 50 miles away, then all ticket holders will have the chance to cancel their ticket. Based on how many that leaves, they may have to then have a ballot to see who will be given an option to buy a ticket for the new venue. But the prices of tickets could then be more expensive than the one you originally bought. So how will Uefa handle that?
    Thinking about all that , you can see Uefa may be willing to put any decision back again a few weeks.

    Ah yeah sorry misread your comment. Hopefully find out soon how many fans will be allowed in but don’t think we’ll get an official announcement from UEFA until 20th April at the earliest

    blogs: Sue Smith: England’s forward focus can rattle Uruguay

    Before every tournament most people are guilty of thinking a bit higher of England than they probably should - me included, I thought we would beat Italy 2-0! But despite the result I think we must take lots of positives from the performance. It was great to see the players actually go for it in the match and I thought we were quite entertaining. Raheem Sterling was great - every time he got the ball he looked dangerous...

    blogs: Graeme Le Saux: Deny Luis Suarez space and England can prevail

    How do you stop Luis Suarez? The key for England will be communication and getting tighter defensively than they did against Italy. There was an uncertainty and a vulnerability to England's defence, particularly down the left, on Saturday night...

    blogs: John Hemmingham: Even Balotelli’s fiancée knows this band on the run

    There is no better place to be as the leader of England’s band than at a World Cup in Brazil – but the one downside is we don’t know if we’ll be allowed to play inside the stadiums! This country has two loves, music and football...

    blogs: Tim Vickery: Brazil-Spain jostles for position as football's new super-rivalry

    Now might be a good time to remind everyone that Spain lost their first match in the last World Cup – and look what happened to them! And so, to take our minds off the result in Manaus, I decided to have a look at one of world football’s most...

    blogs: Adrian Bevington: The connection between England’s players and fans at a World Cup cannot be overestimated

    Even now I can recall it perfectly. Lucio stumbled and miscontrolled when heading towards his own goal, and Michael Owen seized the moment. I knew at that point, in Shizuoka in 2002, that Michael would score. And I have to confess that at that moment I really did think we are going to win the World Cup. It is an emotion that takes over you, and although it didn’t turn out to be correct, one of the great pleasures...
