Will Euro 2012 Actually Happen?
I get a flood of emails giving details of what people are saying about the Euro 2012 tournament. It seems that virtually everyone is saying how the Poland and Ukraine preperations are so slow it seems doubtful that it'll ever happen!
What with the perception of corruption, poor construction practices, bad management - one would have thought we were talking about the preperations for the London Olympics!! But joking aside - it doesn't look good for Euro 2012!
