They reckon the fans will be allowed back in the stadiums when the Euro’s come around.
Apparently that has had a bearing on the decision makers

Things will be more normal across Europe by June.

No chance. In the UK all of the adult population will have been able to have had the first vaccination dose by June and, I estimate, half of them will also have had the second one by then too.
It will be well beyond September before Europe will be in a comparable position.

I thought as much. Mentioned about this vaccination in the earlier post.
So, just England or UK!!! Which cities???

First vaccination to all of the adult population of the UK by the end of June (the official target is end of July but at current rates I think we’ll get there by end of June). By that time I reckon approximately 23 million will also have received their second dose.
Basically, we need to administer a further 57 million doses between now and the end of June (35 million more first doses, 22 million more second doses). We’re currently administering 2.2 million per week and this is set to go up to over 3 million per week as supplies pick up again.

Erm…thanks 
But I was asking where the matches will be held…just in England or across UK 
Oh, sorry. Originally there were two venues in the UK (Wembley and Hampden (Glasgow)) where the Euros were going to be staged. I would imagine that should the Euros be hosted solely in England they actually mean GB because I can’t see any reason why it would differ between England, Scotland and Wales. They may also extend that to Northern Ireland and perhaps Ireland too (Aviva, Dublin was also one of the original venues)?
If this is confirmed I would expect the venues will be Wembley, Hampden, Principality Stadium…and then Old Trafford, Villa Park, Anfield, St James’, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Emirates, Etihad, London Stadium…those would also be contenders I imagine.

From what I have noticed (WC, Euro), each group is based in two cities. The KO stages are hosted in more selective/larger cities. So there should be 12 hosting cities to start with. Considering some cities (London, Manchester, Liverpool, Cardiff, Glasgow) have more than one large stadiums, maybe they will restrict it between eight cities for logistical purposes.

only god knows why Hampden would be chosen,
spectators are too far away from the pitch, and it lacks atmosphere.
Parkhead and Ibrox are more suited, IMO

Interesting let’s see how this goes.

With just over three months to go, there’s still no confirmation of which country and which cities will host the Euro. This tournament promises to be a disorientating, messy, affair.

It should be limited to one country, thing is one case in one set of players and that’s the tournament over for that team, it’s not like the MLS is back tournament it’s not some small event.

Right on cue
And Uefa is understood to be increasingly concerned they may have to strip Glasgow and Dublin of their matches. Both Hampden Park and the Aviva Stadium are due to stage four games.

Football authorities never really cared about safety have they?
They will end up hosting them in Belarus at this rate, eithier that or leading to another lockdown.

It’s actually weird that Low survived this long and was this successful. I think he isn’t very well liked by fans for whatever reasons.

What makes you think this? As far as I know, he’s highly respected in Germany for what he has done, seemingly since ever. Obviously, the love of the fans varies with the results.
