I'll assume this is soccer? Could be rugby for all I know. Not that I care as I am a Yank who is nonetheless amazed at how much emotion both sports arouse good natured and bad. Didn't see a video up there about the Russians in Paris attacking other fans.
Seeing that stuff brings back fond memories of sitting at a bar in the Philippines in 2004 I think. Lots of regulars there from US, UK, and Australia all of whom I knew. There was some international tourney going on and since I mix them up I can't say what is was. So, for this particular night, the crowd has separated instead of being mixed given that we all know each other. The Brits on one side of the bar and the Aussies on the other with us Americans in the middle. They are all wearing their respective colors and are chanting and throwing insults at each other. Meanwhile Fred, the manager, and I sit in the middle shaking our heads while being amused. Funny as hell.

No american sport is as ruthless though. Can play a man or more down. Penalties deciding futures. Extraordinarily cruel, to the players as well as supporters.
That's what drives the emotions up.
Football is supposed to be like life.

Nobody misses Russia in this tournament, they got knocked out.Last edited by Double Edge; 26 Jun 16,, 14:09.

Spain vs Italy will be huge. Some weird pairings here so early on. People blaming Plaitni for favouring quantity over quality.
They enlarged the pool to get into the Euro this year, which is a good thing i think.

My friend has two tickets for the final of Euro 2016 but he is getting married on that day and cannot attend. If anyone wants to take his place, the wedding is at St Peter's Church, Croft on Tees Darlington and the Bride's name is SusanLast edited by tankie; 26 Jun 16,, 14:13.
