Men's Football UEFA European Championship 2020

[Finnator123 294]

FYI, Team Finland's head coach Markku Kanerva was selected as the coach of the year!

Teemu Pukki was the athlete of the year & Huuhkajat(Our national team) was the team of the year!

In Finland, we had this event where we chose our people of the year

Apparently this could get postponed to 2021.

Great !

 

no spectators...

Dúbravka (newcastle Utd) our GK and the main chance to keep our chances still alive injured yesterday his knee and is out,,,

6 our players plays in Italy (Škriniar in Inter and Kucka in Parma the most affected places..) every person comming from Italy must be quarantined for two weeks (and I doubt anyone of them will even travel to Slovakia, Inter is already quarantned...

Hamšík is playing in China (so due coronavirus he didn´t play a football game some months now...lol)

 

what a situation lol...from one of the contenders to qualify via this Play-Offs we dropped to a total no chance... If UEFA will not cancel the Play-Offs is better to abandon and fofeit the match against Ireland to avoid some embarassing debacle

and our federation officially sent a letter to UEFA with a request of postpone the match against arguing we are in a almost unsolvable situation after the new preventive measures in the country

I think the whole competition will be postponed to 2021, and they will announce it on next Tuesday.

I agree with the postponement. Even if the epidemic peaked by June (hopefully it will), due to still prevailing risks, fear factor, etc. the attendance figures would be down massively in every host country/city.

One of the argument in favor of hosting the Euros was that it is going to benefit tourism. Personally I would not want to see sparsely attended matches (like Qatar athletic Wch) in the brand new super-expensive stadium, even if (a big if) the conditions would allow the competition to be held in the original dates.Plus, the new dates would also allow fans in the Covid-19 risk groups to attend as well (I assume that even if the worst is over, those people who are in the risk groups will still have to be super vigilant)

So, look forward to Euro 2021 and hope that we will live to see it

Speaking as a football from  I really hope we don't object to the request and I hope both games are postponed until more appropriate times

Hotel rooms in Copenhagen that were booked by UEFA are free now. Guess that's pretty close to a confirmation?

I think we can assume the official account of the Norwegian federation isn't spreading rumours, so there we go:

 

 

I don't think translation is needed to get what it says
