Thinking the Unthinkable: France & Italy to Launch Joint Euro 2016 Bid? Posted: 05 Mar 2009 09:30 AM PST Can darkness coexist with light? Can good work alongside evil? Can heaven and hell mesh together to create a place which is not purgatory? Both France and Italy are known to be interested in hosting the Euro 2016 championships, but what we didn’t know is that they’re so keen they’re contemplating a joint bid for the games. Yes, that’s two bitter rivals on the pitch scheming off of it to spend the next seven years working in unison to organize one of the world’s biggest sporting events. Surely they must be joking? Surely not: Bernard Laporte, France’s secretary for sport, told L’Equipe: “It’s the federation who will decide and it will do what it wants. But me, I prefer to share and to win. “I hear people speaking of this idea of a joint organisation and we will talk about it during our meeting (with his Italian counterparts). “The ideal thing would be to go it alone but if an association is the price to pay and if we can’t do anything else, I would not put any obstacles in front of it.” French Football Federation president Jean-Pierre Escalettes insists his country have the potential to organise a European Championships by themselves but appears open to the idea of submitting a joint bid, as a last resort. I don’t think there’s any question each country can easily hold their own tournament. France has done so within the last dozen years and a major tournament would be a good, and perhaps necessary, excuse to overhaul some of Italy’s archaic stadiums. But why would they? Well, lots of reasons. First off, the chances of winning the selection lotto would increase immeasurably. Then there’s the obvious quality of taking the best stadiums and cities from two of Europe’s biggest nations. Swissaustria was nice, but Francalia it ain’t (nickname still very much a work in progress). Plus there’s never been a tournament jointly held between two countries of such magnitude - both generally and in footballing terms. That in itself has to count for something. There are also the financial considerations of splitting the bill yet reaping the benefits of constant travel between the countries. The list goes on and on. That doesn’t mean it ’s without those involved who are, unsurprisingly, opposed to the concept: “France doesn’t need anybody,” he said. “We are big enough to organise a world event. We have the ability, the experience. It is a question of prestige.” Feel free to break out the armchair psychiatrist with that one. There is one problem, however - well, there are lots of potential problems, but right this second this stands out as the most glaring of options - who hosts the final? Flip a coin? Rochambeau? Do the uefa powers force Les Blues and gli Azzurri to play a “friendly” and the winner gains the final? And what happens when William Gallas headbutts Gennaro Gattuso only for Ivan to scalp Gallas on the spot? And what happens when the cosmoses align and these two teams inevitably meet in the knockouts, sparking World War III? Yes, this can only go well.

Who Do You Want to Host Euro 2016? Posted: 03 Mar 2009 03:00 AM PST Tick, tick, tick. That March 9th deadlines is now less than a week away. Don’t worry, we’re not talking about whether David Beckham will be moving the rest of his stuff to Milan. We’re talking bids to host for Euro 2016. The big deal with Euro 2016 is that - for better or worse - it’s the year we go from 16 to 24 teams. So it will quite literally be the biggest Euros ever. So UEFA are asking for at least 9 stadiums (two x 50,000, three x 40,000, four x 30,000). The official UEFA deadline is next Monday, and so far there are 4 confirmed bids. France - Bid was officially confirmed last month. They want it. Should have plenty of stadiums left over from World Cup ‘98. Italy - Bid confirmed yesterday. Missed out on hosting Euro 2012, mostly because hosting rights were awarded while Mogi-gate was still fresh in the memory. Turkey - Bid confirmed last month. Would certainly be a nice break from the same old same old. Sweden-Norway - Bid recently confirmed, and Sweden are building a new national stadium in Solna. Only question: After Swissaustria and Polkraine… what do we call this hybrid host? Best I can do is Swerway. Help me out? Rumour has it that Greece, Hungary, Romania and Russia are also considering separate bids, but nothing rubberstamped yet. The joint-bid from Scotland-Wales (Scwales?) has been eaten alive by the monster known as recessionpocalypse. I say it’s as simple as this: French President of UEFA, French team hosts Euro 2016. Hope it’s not that simple, but think it might be. Not that a Euros in France would be a bad thing. I’d love to see it return to a large European country. Italy would be great too. Since stadia were basically modernized in the 90s and Italy’s last tournament was the 1990 World Cup, it’s fair to say that Italy hasn’t really hosted a modern day tournament. Maybe it’s about time? Sweden/Norway I’m not sure. Two nice countries, but I’m already sick of joint bids. And my guess is that UEFA are too. Turkey I think would be fascinating. Especially as Turkish culture is a little different to the rest of Europe (possibly because half of it is in Asia). And can you imagine the dramatic comebacks a host Turkish team would make? Where would you like to see host Euro 2016?
