I think you need to work on your geography Dave..  How so? That was all worked out on Google maps, city to city. Not scientific, but shows people are over-reacting a tad about the distances involved. |

And how many teams/fans had to make that commute during the Euro's Dave? Genuine question I have no idea.

Looking it up it seems the Spaniards had to go from Gdansk to Donets'k. 1,800km.

I suspect only those who reached the latter stages had to travel such distances. Group games were congregated (relatively) closely together, which is what you'd expect Uefa to do in 2020. Again, little to no different to any major tournament |

Lisbon east of Paris... <pedant> Normally you'd say Sarajevo was Southeast of Paris but if you could only choose between one it would have to be East, as it's much further east than it is south. <pedant> |

Fair enough, bearings were never a strong point.
It's a long fucking way regardless

For God's sake, man. Speak the Queen's English, will you? To be fair, Poznan and Donetsk held Euro 2012 games, and are over 1,800 KM 1,100 miles apart.
From paris, 1,800km 1,100 miles can get you as far as lisbon to the east, oslo to the north or even coca folas beloved sarajevo to the south. The distances involved will be no different to most major tournaments held these days.

Not sure the logistics of this have been fully thought out. How feasible to hop around Europe once it gets into the knock out phase. Could be pretty chaotic, imagine 20K Dutch fans trying to get from Kiev to Dublin with only a few days notice!

A Euro 2020 final at Wembley was mooted a few months back, no chance of getting that with Platini involved!

You say that but wembley hosts the champions league final this year for the second time in three years. UEFA like it because of the corporate hospitality available. I reckon wembley would be a shoo in for the final. |
