Gazred Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 So that'll be 2 World Cups and 2 Euros hosted by the Germans then. Don't see football coming home anytime soon. At least another 10 years, 12 if we get the 2030 WC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobBobSuperBob Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 In fairness , for anyone wanting to go to a tournament Germany is a fantastic host A great tournament for those that want to go but will have missed opportunities with the set up of the next Euros and the corrupt World Cup choices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take that if we can reach the final. Not quite the same as hosting a WC but as close as it's likely to be for a long time. I'd just like to see a WC hosted in England before i'm too old to care anymore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the last Euro's in Germany ('88) and a couple of WC games there (2006) and it was superb. They covered everything, even free match day travel in 2006. It really was excellent, typical German organisation. The Germans are a great laugh too. Good luck to them, it will be a great tournament and they need to do virtually nothing to host it given their stadia and infrastructure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madame Gazred is a Frenchy. I often explain to her and the in laws that back in blighty we would prefer it if they just stuck to organising the tournaments and give the whole playing thing a miss.

Germany is an excellent place to host a major tournament and could afford to let games go to previously unused locations as their stadia are brilliant.

North London Red Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 I'm possibly in a minority of one here, but I'd rather go to Turkey than Germany in 2024, assuming that England qualify. Nothing against Germany, but I'd prefer to see a tournament in a new place. And 'off the beaten track' destinations (Volgograd, Samara, Manaus, Donetsk, Coimbra) often end up being the best tournament experiences. I went to all five England games in Germany in 2006. All very well organised, but that tournament just felt a bit too sterile and corporatized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedred31 Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 I went in 88 and 06 and I agree with other posters - it's generally a great place to watch football. German fans are passionate and knowledgeable and, inasmuch as the see England fans as being the same, are pretty generous hosts. But I wonder why no bids from Spain or Italy? Italy in 90 still ranks as my best (with Portugal a close second), and Spain would be fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
