Obvs supporting Ireland/Scotland/Wales 
If Istanbul gets the olympic games 2020, Germany is interested in hosting the EURO 2020
Germany withdrew saying '' its other countries turn to host ''.
Bid submition process has already ended.

Obviously I hope for Scotland/ireland/Wales, but would like Turkey as well.
Azerbaijan and Georgia I would not do for the reason of Armenia (well maybe in 8 years it's solved who knows)

I have to support the two countries I call home! (and Wales too).
Turkey would be a great host too, but I hope they get the Olympics instead
The Georgia-Azerbaijan bid doesn't seem serious at all

Yes, but this was related to Turkey because theres a big relation between Germany & Turkey and Germany didn't want to "steal" them the tournament
Also, the UEFA said that it's possible that there'll be a new sumbition process if Istanbul gets the Olympic Games
It was big in the news here that it's possible that Germany could maaaaybe host the EURO 2020

Right. Let's see then, but I hope Istanbul does not win it, it doesn't deserve at all. First they better solve horrible traffic problem before nominating it.
Okay, me of course hopes that Istanbul get the games
But if not, I'll be rooting for Turkey as the host of the EURO 2020

I still can't understand how there can be more bids. The host selection for the Olympics will be made on 7 September 2013, then there will only be a few months left for the Euro 2020 selection (as it was announced that it would be made in either late 2013 or early 2014). Germany already stated that they would not host 2020.
It seems to be impossible. If Istanbul gets the olympics, then probably they will give it to the Scots.

The Celtic bid will fail. I can't imagine the 3 of us agreeing enough to get something together, not to mention major work would have to be done to have enough stadia available in time. I would personally have preferred a Scotland/Ireland bid. 3 countries is too much and means one of them will neither open the tournament or close it. Plus there is the issue of having 3 teams auto-qualify for the event.
I'd like to see the bid win, as It is the closest we'll get to hosting a major tournament, but It is destined to fail.

Yeah voted for Turkey as I don't really like 3 weak (as in usually not qualifying) teams to get a free pass into the final tournament.

Id have preferred just a Scotland and Wales bid as 2 teams seems more sensible and everything would be in the same country, rather than the present situation where 2 teams and half of the other is in one country, and the other half of the remaining team is in another.
Personally I think Ireland should have really bid on their own because I have no doubt that they'd be able to manage it.

First of all UEFA regard all 3 as separate countries, whatever your opinion on it, they are all treated as countries. The UK does not exist in football. Ireland and Scotland are closer allies than Wales and Scotland. They would be the better duo to bid, especially as they already did a joint bid for Euro 2008.
Secondly, Ireland do not have anything like the capability to host a major tournament. Where will the Stadia come from? They have 2 that would be currently capable of hosting. They would have to upgrade and/or build 8 stadiums. They don't have the money or resources to undertake something like that. A joint bid is the only way any of the 3 countries (not regions) could host the Euros. And even then it would be a logistical nightmare. Between the 3 of them there are only 7 Euro-capable stadiums. If this bid even goes ahead, then each of the governments have a lot of work to do.

You're joking, right?
You know very well what I meant so Im not going to even bother to explain it. There are plenty of stadiums in both Northern Ireland and Ireland that are used for Gaelic football - they're the largest stadiums as well, and Im sure they'd be more than capable of hosting association football too.
