Uefa president Michel Platini has indicated there may be changes in the holding of the European Championships after 2020 . First the tournament could be held in thirteen locations in different countries instead of the whole tournament being held in one or two countries . Also the two teams playing will play on different pitches .
“Think about it , a team wouldn’t have leave their own country , it would save a fortune in travelling for the fan .Yes , that’s the reason , yes , that is absolutely the reason . It has nothing to with earning thirteen times more sponsorship money . No, sirree bob ”said Platini in pigeon English .
“Even more than that , there is no reason for the two teams to play at the same time . “ Platini wiped the excess saliva from round his mouth and went on . “ One team can play their half of the game at one time and the other team can do theirs at another more convenient time . We would then just edit it together for television .“
The head of FA has refused to comment on the new proposals until he has read the full proposal and worked out how much money is in it for him .
England lose on penalties.
