Barca showing again and again, they could play with any random scrub at the front and they could still get the job done and continuing to show why the midget underperforms when he leaves barca.

Michel Platini says Euro 2020 could be spread across continent (http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18657633)

UEFA president Michel Platini says the 2020 European Championship could be spread across various cities in Europe, rather than having a single host.

Traditionally one or two countries have hosted the tournament, which is being held in Poland and Ukraine this summer.

The next competition in 2016 will be hosted by France.

"The Euros in 2020 could be held all over Europe," said Platini. "It could be either one country and 12 stadiums, or one stadium in 12 or 13 cities."

Turkey had been favourite to host the event in 2020, but their bid has hit difficulties due to a desire to host the Olympic Games in Istanbul in the same year.

Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland have also formally declared an interest in hosting Euro 2020.

Platini confirmed a final decision would be taken in January or February next year.

"This matter will be discussed very seriously," he added. "We will have a great debate about 2020 and discuss the pros and cons.

"It's an idea I feel really passionate about, it will be a lot easier from a financial perspective."

"We are not going to wait until we know whether Turkey are going to get the Olympics."

"It creates a problem for us. We do have other candidates. Everyone has the possibility to host it.

"It is easier to go from London to Paris or Berlin than Cardiff to Gdansk. It would be four games per venue. It is a great debate."

Platini added: "We are just thinking about it. I have said 12 or 13 host cities, it could be 24 or 32. In these days of cheap air travel anything is possible.

"It is the political decision that needs to be made. We wouldn't have to build stadiums or airports. That could be important in an economic crisis."

In January 2011, Platini called for the 2022 World Cup to be played across the whole of the Gulf after Qatar won the right to host the tournament.

Meanwhile, Platini has repeated his opposition to goal-line technology. Platini has previously stated he believes its introduction would lead to "Playstation football".

"I am against technology," he said at Saturday's press conference in Kiev.

"Where do we stop? There was a mistake in the Ukraine-England game.

"But there was an offside before that."

[lefty]

He didnt mention Greece

[Venti Quattro]

Germany is taking their football stadiums as collateral. :lol :lol :lol

I did take a late bet on Spain with a co-worker of mine and ended up earning $50 and a dinner on him. Thank you La Furia Roja!

NASRI, 3 OTHERS FACE DISCIPLINARY CHARGES (http://bigstory.ap.org/article/nasri-3-others-face-disciplinary-charges)

PARIS (AP) — France internationals Samir Nasri, Hatem ben Arfa, Yann M'Vila and Jeremy Menez will face a disciplinary commission over their actions at the European Championship.

French soccer federation president Noel Le Graet announced Tuesday that the quartet would be questioned "as soon as possible."

Nasri issued an expletive-laced rant at a journalist following France's 2-0 loss to Spain in the quarterfinals, while all four were involved in a heated changing-room dust-up following the 2-0 defeat to Sweden in the final group game.

Le Graet added that the federation needed "a few days" to decide who it wants to succeed Laurent Blanc as France coach.

He denied that Didier Deschamps — who quit as Marseille coach on Monday — had turned down the job and says he remains on the shortlist.

They threw a white player in the mix to make it look less racist
