BTW Doesn't it the Maya calendar see the end of the world in 2012 ? If yes, it sucks we will proceed anyway and even the Armageddon will not stop us !:2thumbsup:

I personally think this is a slight misinterpretation made by certain individuals. In my opinion, it's more of a "end-of-a-cycle and beginning-of-a-new-cycle" kinda thing.

Congratulations to all the Poles and Ukranians, good for them ~:)

Congratulations. Don't worry about the Mayan calendar, just get the tournament finished before Dec. 21, 2012 and you'll go out on top.

Would've preferred Croatia and Hungary, myself. But well done, hopefully it'll go smoothly.

Hmmm...perhaps there is a hope the euro's will come to Norway and Sweden in a a decade or two?

What's the stadium capacity in ukraine and poland, btw?

As far as I'm aware you're looking at roughly 80,000 in the Central Stadium in
Kiev, and around 50,000 for Shakhtar. Half that for Dynamo, though I think
they'd all get a boost before 2012.
