Very nice. I hope they do the tickets differently this time. In 1998
some part of it was outsources to a rogue firm who took the money and
ran. I almost got caught in that while buying a ticket/travel package
to see the USA play Germany. Also, too many tickets went to cynical
touts. Now, the English tout companies are much better organised and it
is that much harder to fight them. Will France even try?

Je suis desolee ...

I'm hearing the news hasn't gone down well in Turkey, apart from
amongst certain segments of Fenerbahce support who were against the
bid due to Fenerbahce's Sukru Saracoglu Stadium not being included -
talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.

To lose by one vote is pretty heart breaking, though, particularly as
this is now Turkey's third failed bid to host the European
Championship (including a previous failed joint bid with Greece).

I guess after Austria-Switzerland and Poland - Ukraine the tournament
was due to go back to a more established nation, but then France have
already hosted the Euros twice, not to mention a recent World Cup.

Oh well. Who needs the European Championships when you host the
pinnacle of a football spectacle that is the Efes Pilsen / Radyospor
Cup in Antalya every January? *s*

Does that explain the loud honking I heard outside my apartment at
4:30AM? Was it my friend "Bob", cruising around, celebrating?

Too bad, I hope next time. I've heard some of the airports (apart Istanbul
and Antalya) weren't big enough....
