World Cup 2018: 3 reasons why England should be upbeat about Euro 2020

#1 Location, location, location!

The Euro 2020 Final will take place at Wembley.

Russia proved at this World Cup just how powerful a vocal home support can be. When the European Championships roll around in 2020, a new concept will be introduced as 12 different host countries will share the competition. Of those 12 nations, England have landed both semi-final matches and the final itself, all of which will take place at the iconic Wembley Stadium.

When England last hosted the European Championships in 1996, they were ousted during a penalty shoot-out against Germany in the semi-finals. Current manager, Gareth Southgate, was the unfortunate man who missed the crucial penalty that day.

Euro 2020 could offer some kind of redemption for Southgate, should he remain in charge during the build-up to the tournament. After a stunning re-emergence as a powerful football force during this World Cup, it feels as though England could be on the cusp of greatness once again. Two years is a short time to wait for a newly-expectant group of supporters, too.
