Trouble is that the bids probably won't be decided on their merits, it'll be on the nationality of the those voting.
More on this tomorrow though, I have a lecture in 5 minutes (annoying, why in the evenings )

I hope Austria and Switzerland will get it. Then we would win first the World cup and after that Euro 08

Yeah I have to agree but they have some lovely stadiums in Turkey. The Olympic Stadium in Turkey looks great with the new futuristic roof (one of the coolest stadiums) but it looks like the building was unfinished as the pillars are just plain concrete!?

Vet and others, there is no problem with good stadiums in Turkey. They already have the brand new olympic stadium (82.000 Capacity)
and the Fenerbahce stadium (60.000 capacity) will have been completely rebuilt by 2003
A new 40.000 capacity stadium will be build in Antalya and the Izmir Atatürk stadium will be renovated. (51.750 capcity after renovation)
Greece will have lots of new stadiums by 2004 because of the olympics, so the only reason why Turkey/Greece isnt the favorites is because of the bad relasionship between the two countries.

Here's my opinions on the bids:
Greece + Turkey
Seeing those pictures of the stadia in Istanbul, they are as good as any in the world. However, the Cyprus question would have to be resolved pretty quickly, Earthquakes, particularly in SW Turkey could be a problem as is the Proximity of Iraq.

Cyprus is almost resolved and probably will be by 2008, even if it isnt how does that effect the bid when the two countries are trying to make some friendship?
The Iraq deal includes every country thats bidding from European Union anyway so that goes for all of us.
As for eathquakes that happens once in 100 years and shouldt be considered.
IN CONCLUSION:
The Greece and Turkey bid is the second strongest after the Nordic even though Nordic i dont like due to all the countries in there.
