It's a very beautiful country, with a mosaic of both Asian and European culture. And their football team is always underrated. IMO, they're easily in the top 15 nations of the world.

Maybe when hell freezes over. And as someone who has been to Turkey, seen its charms, and heard of the great Turkish passion for football, I think this is a sad truth. I would rather see Turkey host a Euro than, for example, Greece or Portugal. But I don't think it will ever happen.

Their status as a European nation is already very much open to debate and chances are the Germans, French, English, and Italians that contral UEFA will not take too kindly to Turkey's bid. Football at this level can also be a political creature. As an Italian, I would love to see Italy get it as an excuse to modernize the stadia. It's a pity when members of the French league play day in and day out in better venues than Serie A clubs. There’s not a chance in hell UEFA will give a European championship to Turkey.

Portugal, Spain, Italy, Ukraine, Russia, and Poland are all countries that have as much if not more crime than Turkey. just becuase they're a muslim nation and the roads aren't paved with gold doesn't mean that it's a "shit hol". and just so you know galatasaray's stadium is no where near a shit hold, just because it has a track field surrounding doesn't mean it's a bad stadium, it probably has a better atmosphere than any stadium you have ever been to or see. so stop being so fucking ignorant and realize that maybe other nations aren't as rich as yours but still deserve a chance. Mexico got the host the World Cup and if you tell if there is more crime and poverty in Turkey than Mexico, your opinions really aren't valid. Joe : obviously the country isn’t austria or france.

I have 8 stadiums total. The problem is 4 of them are in Istanbul. I think a city is only allowed to use two stadiums. Here's a list of cities with capacity. Izmir 65K Ankara 35K Kayseri 32-33K Sanliufa 30K Istanbul 80K, 53-54K, 50-51K, 42K Potential Turkish Bid
