Burley slams UEFA allowing England to play majority of Euros at Wembley

Former Chelsea midfielder Craig Burley has slammed England being clear to play the majority of their Euro 2020 games at Wembley.

While England coach Gareth Southgate can point to a spectacular 4-0 trashing of Ukraine in Rome as evidence of his team's ability to travel, many neutrals are already unhappy about his team getting an 'easy' ride.

"If you get to the final — which I think England will, even though Denmark are the best team still in there — you are going to play six out of seven games at Wembley," said Burley.

"What the hell is that all about from UEFA? You've played four games at Wembley already.

"If you are an elite country, which England supposedly are, you can't have them playing six out of the seven games in front of their own fans. So UEFA have made a complete hash of it."
