The Last Great Euro

Platini sacrificed the Euro's quality to gain political points

 

Bye Bye Good Euro. CC

Enjoy these enticing semi-finals and final. They are the last of their kind.

This is the last great Euro.

No more “groups of death”. No more Italy vs Spain or Germany vs Holland in the group stages . No more head-to-head stuff to the final minute of the group stages. You will get the weird “best 3rd place” in a 24 team inflated tournament instead.

It was a good old Euro. Michel Platini needed votes. So he sold it.
