    Yeah, I think the UK/Ireland bid for Euro 2028 will succeed...

    As for Russia, well, I don't know whether to be disgusted or admire
    their bare faced cheek. One wonders whether they're already
    planning on including Mariupol and Kyiv as host venues?

    If it wasn't such a serious situation in Ukraine, Russia putting in a
    bid to host the Euro 2028 tournament would have been one of the
    funniest things I've ever read. I'd like to think that the guy in the
    Russian Football Union behind the application was having a laugh
    anyway. As there can't be any other reason for such an insane bid at
    this moment in time.

    Which means you can remove Russia from both lists. UEFA has disqualified both bids.

    If Putin gets his way, this will all be moot.
