The Euro’s got back underway last night and I watched Wales get smashed up by an impressive Danish team and thought “Wales aren’t that good really, are they?” I don’t know whether it’s because they are one of the home nations, or because they’ve got the likes of Bale and Ramsey in their side, but [...]
Morning folks and welcome to Friday! Yesterday was the first day in which we didn't get any football and tonight it is the same, as the round of 16 games don't start until tomorrow and I have to say, I always find it a little sad. In some ways the group stages are the best [...]
Another fun few games in the Euro's yesterday, which was always good to watch as a neutral. I watched the second half of the Poland vs Sweden game and it had intensity, intrigue, plus a few goals to swing the momentum one way then the other. Then we had the France v Portugal game and [...]
I think I had more fun watching Denmark smash Russia than any game I've watched at the Euro's so far. I thought the Germany v Portugal game would probably end up being one of the best, but those Danes know how to throw a party and yesterday's game had pretty much everything. Goals, delicately poised [...]
Perhaps I should thank Gareth Southgate and the England team. I was starting to enjoy the Euro’s and international football in general, so good on him and his players to remind me just how turgid it is in general. Last night was the first proper snooze fest of the competition and it reminded me of [...]
I don't know what it is about this Euro's, but I'm finding myself oddly enjoying it, which is a real first for international tournaments. Don't get me wrong, I watch them, follow England and then Germany and to a lesser extent the Dutch, but I never really bother with most of the games, usually because [...]
Welp, the fixtures are out and the football karma gods clearly had a look at my plea for us to get a relatively serene start in terms of calibre of opposition, then kick that hope right in the nuts. That's because from 14th August until the beginning of October we have six football matches and [...]
Morning folks. Right, plenty to sink our teeth in to today, so let's get straight to it and start with... France vs Germany / Portugal vs Hungary My second country, country of my Grandmother and usually a shoe in for some proper hope in international tournaments - Germany - showed why there aren't too many [...]
Morning folks, how are we all doing? Watch any of the Euro’s yesterday? I caught bits of it but missed the Scotland game. See what happens when you don’t have yer man Tierney on the pitch? Carnage. To be fair that second Czech Republic goal was a peach and we should thank Schick for also [...]
After the trauma of Saturday evening and what happened to Christian Eriksen, yesterday was back to football and dare I say it, it was actually a lot of fun to watch the matches I watched. I sat down just after lunch in my back garden and watched an England team that, for a change, didn't [...]
