Kind of disagree with this.
One of the best things about a football tournament is the fact you get shit loads of nations descending on one (or two) country(s). It will be really diluted now and you wont get that special atmosphere.
When my mates went to Poland this year they said the best thing about it was mingling with people from all kinds of nations and sampling how they enjoyed their football and vice versa.
Wont be as good a mix now as you'll only have the nations who happening to be playing in said country there.
Disappointing, hope it fails.

Intriguing to see how they'd go about it. But it should still be held in one country.

I like the idea personally.
I think when people realise Europe is no bigger in land mass than the likes of the USA it'll be better respected. At the moment it looks as if it's been recieved as well as a fart in an elevator.

In fairness it's a bloody amazing idea  However, in reality, it will probably result in a logistical nightmare that costs fans dear as UEFA couldnt organise a piss up in a brewery!
As Ham Ham alliudes to, the max distance travelled by fans in Ukraine was 967 miles... on the premise that most teams play one home-ish game then Engalnd could go practically anywher eon the continet in less distance than that
AGree with Nath that it should really be held in one country but in fairness, no-one suitable bid for 2020 so can see why theyve done this
