Wembley stadium ban after Euro 2020 exploits

But we host many many things :confused::confused:
Fine, no major international football events, such as the World Cup or Euros finals (except the last one, and indeed in ‘96)

Even the US gets to host it twice (joint in 2026) in the time we last hosted the World Cup
 
The self loathing in this country really is something to behold at times.

As others have pointed out, we hold a lot of large events and the reason we haven't hosted a football tournament in years is nothing to do with our fans and everything to do with money and corruption in football.

Brazil - Run by a madman who is happily selling the amazon, didn't give a single **** about COVID and is corrupt and bent as you like. Massive crime issues and huge poverty issues.

Russia - I don't even know where to start with Russia but lets start with the fact they were essentially banned from the recent Olympics due to running a state sponsored doping program.

Qatar - Lovely bunch, nothing bad to say about them. No wait, borderline using slave labour to build their stadiums, multiple human rights violations, being gay is still illegal.

But no, a few yobs in this country have put FIFA off hosting it here in favour of these more respectable regimes.

Well indeed this is my point.
It is a bit more than a few, mind, and corrupt stewards also doesn’t help.
Trouble is everyone still remembers us from the 80’s -mud sticks
