Why has the Central Coast AFC Cup match not been turned in-play?

Just asked BF.....they immediately turned it IP after I asked


Basically, human error. Somebody forgot to turn it IP

UK and IRE to host 2028 Euro's

Guess that's another final at Wembley then

I'd hope they can redo the bid and get it for as cheap as chips being the sole bidder.

Does that mean Ireland qualify automatically ? (hoping so as a fan!)

Unfortunately not, I remember something from months ago saying more than two joint countries hosted automatic qualification isn't guaranteed
So we probably have to wait for UEFA to confirm now the hosts have been decided

Old Trafford and Anfield were also ruled out as possible venues in the north as well

Have they changed the rules then?
In Euro 2000 Belgium and Holland both qualified automatically as co-hosts

Its because there is more than joint/co-hosts, the bid was by the UK (England, Scotland, Wales, NI) and the Rep of Ireland
So technically 5 countries hosting

Yes UEFA revised the qualification process for Euros going forward earlier this year but host qualification is restricted to 2 teams if it's jointly held.

As the UK and ROI were the only bid left UEFA will have to sort out who automatically qualifies but one thing is sure all 5 nations won't automatically qualify. Wouldn't surprise me if they made all 5 qualify for being daft enough to submit a 5 nation bid.

Turned into a bit of a mess really, I don't know why England didn't just bid for it alone, 5 nations biding to host a tournament is just ridiculous.

[LeTiss]

Thanks. Didn't realise that

Probably wouldnt have been politically acceptable for England alone
