Ukraine/Poland has a really good chance i would have to say but they would neeed major upgrades on their stadiums.
The Italian football corruption scandal and turmoil in Hungary have boosted the chances of a joint bid by Ukraine and Poland to host the 2012 European football championships, Ukraine's top football official said.
Hrihory Surkis, president of Ukraine's football federation, said circumstances were playing into the hands of the two eastern European neighbours after UEFA inspectors toured both countries.
"On the whole, our chances are rather good. The corruption scandal in Italian soccer has done that country's chances no good," Surkis told a news conference on Wednesday.
"As for Hungary, recent political events also work in our favour. If the Hungarian prime minister is accused of lying, how can UEFA trust a government of that sort?"
Budapest has been gripped by demonstrations, with protestors demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany after he acknowledged lying to help win an election in April.
-only made this so we can talk about it and so we can celebrate if Ukraine/Poland win it. also u can join me and Tryzub to go to Ukraine if they win LOL
