Euro 2024

We are 35 minutes from the opening of the European Championship and there is not a thread yet? OK, I herewith open one although I don’t have much hope for it.

In my private betting game, I went with The Netherlands as the winner. Can you f—ing believe this?

Come on, let’s go.

It was fun to see hoards of bekilted fans wandering around Munich today, including one bemused group walking out to Freimann in the hope of finding the stadium.
A loooooong way from there.

God, this “bring your colours” intro show is awful.

At least it was colorful.

Come on love, put it down before you hurt yourself

Ha, I’m playing the tipsspiel with work colleagues. I made a coin flip between England and France, coin said France haha

Mark my words

Best start Germany could have wished for. But boy, that Scotland team sucked.

All the fun was after the game when the scots did their best to drink Munich dry.

Good start for Switzerland. I only watched the first 30 minutes which were very strong. Sounds like the second half was a bit shaky in parts.

When Spain and Croatia got drawn in the same group, I knew it wouldn’t be good. It ended up being even worse than expected.

Wow, lots of goals. That will please the crowds, except those in kilts.

Can we leave this thread for football. You are welcome to have this discussion, just not here. Thankyou.

Yes. Please say something interesting about football. While the MikeDragos nonsense was really unnecessary and stupid incitement, it created more reaction than anything to do with football.

I have watched a total of 3 hours of this tournament now. Germany looked good against a terrible Scottish side, but they have been very inconsistent over the last year and I am not sold. The Dutch looked good for a half. I did not watch Spain. The bits I have seen of the England game were pretty unimpressive. If it was not England, I would have said disappointing.

And I so hope that France are losing points to Austria tonight.

There hasn’t really been anything of note to discuss so far in my opinion.

Hopefully it will get better as the tournament progresses because at the moment it’s pretty uninteresting.

Fair enough. Although difficult to take seriously from a person who watches F1 :upside_down_face:

Watched a bit of the games, and some extracts between Le Mans segments. Never expected that from Switzerland. Also, they ruined my Saturday siesta haha

Nothing against Albania…but what’s the point of the flags on the black BMWs? We already knew :slight_smile:

Public service announcement.

The police is doing more frequent roadside controls during the Euro2024 and at not expected times like Saturday around 14h00.

Last Saturday, after the Switzerland-Hungary game I was stopped 1 block from my place :laughing:

Are they only stopping Black BMWs?
