Thanks for your comment. I’d like to see UEFA stick with their original plan and allow Ukraine and Poland to jointly host the tournament. I’ll be in university by 2012 so I’d personally enjoy a visit to Eastern Europe. Whether Ukraine and Poland can actually get their collective acts together remains to be seen.

Germany is another great option- they did really well with the 2006 World Cup, making it an enjoyable experience for all nations involved and FIFA (as opposed to the South Africa headaches). Plus, as a fan, Germany is a great country to visit and watch football in.

Either way, as long as the tournament has a reasonable host(s), I’ll be happy.

I don’t mean to sound insulting, but I think you have a rather short memory… Remember back in September when the Polish FA was suspended due to corruption? http://www.sports-city.org/news_details.php?news_id=5715&idCategory=48. And the match fixing scandal from last year? http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/04/12/sports/EU-SPT-SOC-Poland-Corruption.php. Do you expect a country, which has had serious long term issues with corruption in all aspects of the game capable of hosting the second most important tournament in the world on its own? I think the only way this can be pulled off is with support from another nation. If Poland does host the tournament by itself, UEFA will essentially have to prop up their FA.

In fact, what would be a better option for UEFA, and for Poland would be to host the tournament with Germany if Ukraine can’t pull through (which is looking more unlikely by the day, according to this): http://www.javno.com/en-sports/poland-could-host-euro-2012-with-germany-says-fa_198281.
