The news from UEFA’s Michel Platini this morning is that the Euro 2020 tournament could be played across the European continent instead of within a host country. With Europe being such a relatively small continent and budget airfare being so inexpensive for fans to follow their team, I love the idea — which is rare since it comes from Platini’s mouth. It’s something that the FIFA World Cup can’t obviously do, and it would be a great way to showcase future European Championships, in my opinion.
Since there’s no soccer on today, be sure to listen to the latest episode of the Euro Talk Podcast.
