12th July 2020
Euro 96 was only topped by the 1966 World Cup in the list of international football tournaments held in England. This year though the plan was for another Euro tournament to have its conclusion in the home of football. OK, the Euro 2020 finals tournament was not going to be held exclusively in England with the 51 matches in the new-style finals scheduled to be played in 12 European cities. But the two semi-finals and final - originally scheduled to be played on July 12th 2020 - were due to be staged at Wembley. Well the coronavirus pandemic sadly put paid to that with the tournament being postponed for a year - as was the Olympic Games. The new date for the Wembley Final was set for July 11th 2021 - plenty of time to practice those penalties because surely were they going to be needed!
