Love the Euros. Northern Ireland is excluded because Windsor Park is not big enough and Casement Park is being redeveloped.

The games in Ireland will take place in the Aviva stadium Dublin.

Quite.

I have just looked at the EURO 2028. The hosts have to qualify. What if Scotland or Wales failed to qualify? What if Israel qualified and were drawn to play in Birmingham?

That's great for Everton.

There was a bit of political shenanigans surrounding Casement Park because it holds also GAA games. Accusations about delays for the funding.

Windsor Park in included for the women WC

Don't care for either team but I'm Egyptian tonight.
