European Championship
 

Pringles and wallcharts at the ready!

Me too, RM.

In fact there is so much sport on this weekend we're spoilt for choice: the rugby from Down'Under, the cricket, the Canadian grand prix, a bit of tennis, and the footie or Footé as the BBC have it in that advert aping Versailles - very funny.

what will you be watching, [apart from the football of course]?

I am watching the Romanian and French fans out of my window as they prepare to go to the Stade de France.

ooh - excited, Kerouac?

or dreading the extra traffic and people that the tournament will bring?

I have a colleague who is going next week - they have tickets for a match at the Stade de France [Wales v ?] and then Russia v Slovakia in Lille. Have you got any plans to attend a match?

I've entered the work sweepstake where you have to predict the winner of every single match. It took me most of the afternoon to fill out the form so apologies if you are poorly - I didn't have time to cure any deadly diseases today.

oh dear, RM, I was relying on you!

who is going to win tonight then?

France naturellement!

Loving Slaven Bilic as a pundit!

Some rowdy Brits at a pub in Marseilles got teargassed last night and that made me laugh when I heard about it on the radio this morning.

Little Albania taking on mighty Switzerland :-p

Do the french have a word for "Schadenfreude"?

Who's your first pick, RM? I hope you win.

I hope the entire pub didn't get teargas. That stuff does spread in the air.

I have predicted France to win in our work tournament but in real life I'd obviously prefer England. That's probably well into the realms of fantasy though...

it's the hope that gets you. At the moment we have oodles of that, and no results.

I've no idea how strong the Russian team is, I just hope that the football players can live up to standard set by their rugby playing colleagues earlier on today. [this does not apply to Wales].

Very happy with that first half. Plenty of effort. Plenty of oooos

Joining the party too. In addition to the Euro Cup, we're hosting the Copa America (North and South America) here in the States. Going for Germany and Argentina.

Oh, and let's not forget the NBA Finals!

The England - Russia game is on prime time tv now and Englamd just made the first goal of the game. The crowd is very loud, to say the least!

Unlucky at the end but an enjoyable game :-)

Quelle catastrophe!

it will be ironic in the extreme if Wales qualify for the next round and England doesn't due to that late Russian goal!

well done Wales.
