EURO 2028

Can’t wait!!! Sorry England didn’t prevail this time… but who knows what the future holds? :-)

Its actually a bit weird that the UK gets the field three teams in international Soccer tournaments, where other countries only field one...

The logical thing to do would be to have Ireland qualify automatically, and have the four UK teams do a small mini tournament amongst themselves to determine who represents the UK.

"it would be fantastic if England and Scotland met each other at the final" - aaaah, we can only dream, JC.

Wales versus Finland would be even better; imagine that, twenty-two terribly handsome men on the field at the same time.

Too bad my beloved Anfield won't be hosting. It's a great stadium.

I will be retired by 2028!! Woo hoo!

The UK has never been represented as one country in international football because it comprises of four separate countries. There's nothing weird about it.

Indeed it is and very conducive to a great atmosphere.

My understanding is that Anfield will not be awarded an international match as long as reporters that are affiliated to the Sun are disallowed entry. And that's not likely to change.

Everton better get their new owners in place and the new ground finished!

Compared to World Cup 1966 in the meantime VAR is established, also at new Wembley Stadium ... but the Euro 2024 showed somehow that the regulation and interpretation of handball need improvement.

Really? Where did you read that? Very interesting if that's the case.

The UK hasn't been comprised of separate countries for some time. AFAIK there is no "Scottish" or "English" nationality. Y'all British.

Someone from Liverpool told me, but as I said, its only my understanding and would benefit from some research to confirm.

Except when it comes to sporting tournaments although there is Rugby's British Lions however that's in addition to the individual country teams.

I reckon that's a bit of Scouse "economical with the truth".

Well, you’re mistaken.

Well, we field four. Technically five as Gibraltar is a Crown Protectorate. Sovereign states don’t join FIFA, Football Associations do, countries have nothing to do with it. Ever heard of the Faroe Islands? As for the UK teams having a mini tournament to determine who represents the UK, we did that for years with World Cup qualification being awarded to the winners of the old Home International series. Then other countries complained that the UK had a guaranteed place, so that got kicked into touch. Fact is the UK is four countries.

Lol possibly, but I believe this fellow believes it.
