Dylan Upper asks: “How is it that
England get to play their round of 16 game at Wembley while other teams that played group games at home (Holland, Denmark,
Spain,
Italy, Germany) do not?”
Just the way the draw was designed. If England had finished second in the group they would be playing in Budapest. 1.18pm BST
Mike Holland emails: “Every player at Euro 2020 has the word ‘Respect’ on their shirt: I don’t see any respect from Uefa. Who, other than Uefa medical chiefs is ‘confident teams and fans criss-crossing the continent for the Euro 2020 knockout stages will not have a detrimental impact on public health amid the
Coronavirus pandemic’? What would make these movements different to the superspreader events of the 2020 Cheltenham Festival or
Liverpool v Atletico Madrid? The attitude of Uefa was clear when they threatened to move the final from
London to Budapest, to a country that has managed to record the second highest death rate per head of population globally yet still fills its stadiums with people not wearing masks. Uefa’s only concern is not to upset supposed VIPs, people ‘very important’ only to their mothers and Uefa.”
