DCFCOwls Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Would be good to host one lets be honest But you just know theyll give it to Turkey to spite us. Not that Turkey won't do a good job and that it would be decent tournament in a country that loves its football. And the positive I guess is I mainly holiday there in June... If we got it Id push the holiday back though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it you could say it was a perfect storm of post covid freedom/summer sun/ English drugs/drinking culture/ English entitlement & poor planning and security by Wembley, the FA and UEFA. Not really sure why the authorities allowed England fans to get absolutely blooted around the stadium. You could see on the TV whilst the gantry talk was going on that the atmosphere was getting to the point where things could turn nasty. Obviously, that doesn't excuse the kn*bheads, but when all considered, the match should have been managed much better than it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owls maniac Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 There will be soooo much trouble if its in Turkey. The locals aren't exactly known for giving visiting fans a warm welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFCOwls Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Nah they wont allow any trouble over there. Similar to Qatar theyll let nothing ruin their hosting the cops over there will be on strict orders. The locals will be on their best behaviour. Its only here where we let that kind of sh!t go on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowyOwl13 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Last time Turkey bid UEFA came up with the cross Europe bid (Which actually turned out to be genius post-Covid) to avoid it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The English people and football fans all that finals day were a complete embarrassment. I just don't think we deserve to have that opportunity again. My opinion, I know I'm in the minority. Considering we are bidding against Turkey I think it's fair to say we are completely fine on the fan behaviour front. You ever seen the ultra culture? Police vs fans, car bombing, petrol bombing, pyro, riot, flare, pistol shooting fans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls maniac Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Turkey on the verge of withdrawing, meaning we will run unopposed. Great news https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/66338138 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great news https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/66338138 Joint Turkey and Italy bid for 2032. It's getting a bit silly now, that makes about as much sense geographically as a Portugal/Switzerland or England/Austria joint bid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joint bids should literally be consigned to neighbouring countries only. Once again it’s the fans who will be hit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFCOwls Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Our bid is as stupid as Turkey/Italys though Five nations ffs, so thats five places already gone meaning only about 37 left to play for Its all gotten silly if we're being honest 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to build sufficient support to win the bid. If England had gone for it alone I’d imagine far more resistance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Italian/Turkish bid seems a totally unnatural alliance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
