Wasn't impressed by the size of it (not the first time I've heard that before just very different reasons) but after explaining to her it's basically a beacon to help football find its way home she gave up as could see I'd gone mad 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFS. £60 on those Italian and Spanish style meats, then some Scottish shortbread and cheeses from Germany and Switzerland and Netherlands and Denmark. £60 ffs. I am a ****ing idiot. AND that only gets me through until Sunday night. Come Monday when France and Belgium play we all know I will be traipsing back for croissants and waffles. German cheese? I mean german beer or sausage or bread yes I get... but cheese?!? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
m_fenton Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 I've gone as far as a German beer for tonight's game, but not intending to keep that sort of thing going all tournament! Not least because it would make work quite interesting... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTHerringbone Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 The iPlayer thing is GREAT Just watched the 2004 game between the Dutch and Czechs. Fabulous game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1981 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 (edited) How long has it been on there? I also only found it this morning. Far too much recency bias though... can't believe they are missing the Panenka and the France v Portugal semi final in '84 and the Dutch win with the van Basten goal. Yet Ronaldo rescuing a draw in a 2016 group game somehow gets in. Edited June 14 by Rob1981 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTHerringbone Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 A work colleague let me know 20 minutes ago and I've been glued to it since. Just watching Rooney tear Croatia one in 2004. I can't believe 20 years have gone past Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabulous game. that's the game when they were Holland were 2-0 up inside about 25 minutes and the Czechs came back to win 3-2? cracking game that was Czechs had a really good team at that point, Nedved in midfield with big Koller and Baros upfront 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting a new job soon though so will probably not be able to catch (m)any of the 2pm weekday games. Ignore this. Had that start delayed by a week, so now I'm locked in for three games a day.

Committed to an earlier order deadline so they can cut costs, then they have to press the button and start making it before they know which of the playoff teams have got through. Same as the Match Attax stuff my youngest has got; the folder has only 21 teams out of 24. Although that's unforgiveable for an official UEFA product. You can just about forgive some knocked off tat in Asda. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
