The Euros thread

[GUNBOAT]

Although i have not spoke to my son since Friday i was correct with my assumption he was backing the Ukraine tonight as i have just been shown a Facebook post of his with him wearing a Ukrainian football top and hat from that very year,i had totally forgotten about it.Actually Affshore when you read this i would very much appreciate it if you could post his photie from there.

Love it or hate it England have grown into this tournament and have a very good manager in Southgate, he is very level headed and comes across as a decent bloke.
I think the tournament being spread round the nations is crazy, it has thrown up advantages for some, I think Denmark also played their group games at home as well as Spain and Italy, even Scotland had 2 at hampden and 1 at Wembley which often feels like a home game, with one host country only the host nation gets an advantage which helped France in 98 and England in 66, possibly others too.
I think a lot of non English UK residents would be happy with coverage for the whole tournament like what was done for England v Scotland and Scotland v Croatia with an option of either the English studio with token attendees from other nations or a scottish/Welsh/ northern Irish version, it worked well in my opinion, it's probably cost that stops it for every game.
I agree the coverage we see in Scotland is English dominated which spoils it for many but England are looking good and they might, I say might just win this tournament.

A warning from history to the Daily Mail,English Sun,Daily Express,EBC and all the FN other English media outlets.

They were on the beaches in 1992,
a team with F ALL else to do,
but war torn Yugoslavia just fell apart,
and UEFA said,"We'll make up the numbers we Denmark."

The Serbians had just went Barmy,
but they had never met the Tartan Army,
Bosnia's and Croatia were laid bare.
and that's how the Danes ended up there.

They won the tournament against the odds,
UEFA regretted given them the nod,
The master race beaten?,it sound's absurd,
But it was 2 nil to Denmark in Gothenburg.

They watched their star player nearly die,
not a fan in europe had a dry eye,
but that tiny country caught a spark,
i give you the INDEPENDENT nation called Denmark!!!!.

I’m desperate to see England lose simply because I hate them, my own National team is scheite and when they lose it’s funny and it gives me more pleasure than what my own team does. Does that make me a Funster?

England in tourneys are just like the fun,
winning some games ahead of the big one
the hope and the dreams become expectation,
They get out of their bed to show all the nation
Cometh the day when everything matters
It's early to bed with their dreams all in tatters

England are odds on with the bookies to beat Denmark and are FAVS now to win the Euro's.This will be down to two factors.
1They are at home and have a perceived easier tie against Denmark.
2 Italy the best team in the tournament so far have a harder tie v Spain on neutral territory and are away from home IF they make the final.

I was saying to the sister in law last night, whilst watching her in the mirror from behind, I think England and Southgate have got this spot on. The nonsense about a 0-0 draw with us was funny to hear and watch. It is theirs to lose so many factors in their favour the draw, the home ties, players now clicking and confidence sky high as well as a manager who ignores the press and does what he believes. She never answered me as she was squeeling like a stuffed pig at the time, wriggling around like a lizard in a tin.

Bonus points for anyone to name the song there

They'll do what they always do. Play & beat the sh*te teams they come up against. Think they're the best team in the world as a result, hen get pumped as soon as they play someone decent as per Croatia at the World Cup. Unfortunately that'll probably be in the final. The tears will make the suffering until then worth it however.
