Assumed you are talking about Scotland / Wales joint bid?
How does it work? Which 'home' nation qualifies? Not both of them surely??


I thought I had seen the end of the world. Desolation, Isolation, Destruction, Mutants and the end of Civilisation.
Turns out bloody Tom Tom had directed me through Scunthorpe City Centre.

Yep, both would qualify, just as the two joint hosts have for Euro2012, Euro2000, World Cup 2002 etc etc.

I'm sure I've read somewhere that its a 3-way bit - Scotland, Wales and Rep. of Ireland.

I've also seen it mentioned that it may become a 24 team tournament.

I think 2016's a 24 team tournament. Stupid decision.

More money (51 games instead of 31) = less quality. (How many poor games in the group stages of the last world cup?)

I would love to see Scotland and Wales host the 2020 euro,

I can remember watching the 1958 world cup when they and us + N. Ireland all got to the quarter finals,

There was great interest in most games played that year,, I would rather watch a home nation play than two other average countries

I'd like to see them qualify and host too. I just think it's a bit rubbish having all these tournaments where two teams qualify automatically. Especially as Poland and Ukraine are only outsiders to qualify for the knock-out stage. just like Switzerland and Austria.

Tommy - yes, in the Guardian article it did say that Rep of Ireland grounds could be used too. If I was Ireland I'd reject that though in favour of a bid with N.I. You could have Croke Park, Landsdowne, Thomond Park, Windsor Park, the big ground down in Cork (if you could persuade the Corcaigh GAA), a renovated Derry Cities ground plus two others as there are plenty of huge GAA grounds in Ireland.

I think Turkey are clear favourites for next one as they bid with France initially for 2016 and they are having a sporting cultural revolution with Winter Olympics, Tour of Turkey cycling race getting lots of publicity etc. Not mention the fact that they are mental on football. Plus UEFA will see it as a 'new market' as half of Turkey is in Asia. Ker-ching.

Spain 1982 when England, Scotland and Northern Ireland took part was good for "home nations" interest too...

I especially enjoyed it being out on holiday in Majorca watching games with fans from different countries celebrating or ending up disappointed with their team's efforts

In theory, yes.
In reality, it will be a loooong, loooong time before we see anything like a United Ireland football tournement. Maybe in our lifetime?
