Euro 2020, who's watching?

[cushyno]

Just settled down to watch the opening match of the 2020 (2021) tournament. I'm not a huge football fan but I do like a good international comp.

Ideal accompaniment to a good beer

Turks passing, passing, passing. Italy looking spicy when they get going.

 

[Chippy_Tea]

I will watch England but probably wont watch many other games.

 

[The Cat]

I'll watch any game I get chance to yeah - love international comps.

 

[Braufather]

Italy looking bright. Hope England bring as much verve and energy as Italy have in this first half.

I'm in. Don't follow football anymore, except the international comps. Looking forward to sunday actually. Day off, beers and football.

Italy looking bright. Hope England bring as much verve and energy as Italy have in this first half.

Not a great deal of discipline, but they're up for it - a different Italy to years gone by. They actually look happy to be on the pitch today.

 

[Braufather]

Defo a different approach from Italy. And for the better!

 

[samale]

I am watching. Sadly Ireland aren't in it, so I am in the anybody but England camp

 

[cushyno]

Turkey only started closing Italy down since they were 2 goals down. No good, now three goals to Italy!
Italy have played well. I'd hate to see how England would play against Italy.

 

[Braufather]

Italy look and play like a proper team. So fluid.

 

[cushyno]

Yep, Italy deserved that.

I'm probably on my own here but I can't stand the game

Cheers Tom

If it was free beer for life if i watched a game of football....i would be paying for my beer for the rest of my life.

 

[DSG]

yes i am the same

 

[chillipickle]

The ball is the wrong shape

What sport if any do you watch. I can watch anything from darts to rugby ( six Nations), tennis, snooker. Basically anything but cricket, it's like watching paint dry

 

[soupdragon]

The only game I've ever watched was when I was about 10. In the boys pen at Everton's ground. Coventry beat them 1-0

Cheers Tom

 

[soupdragon]

Again, I'm going to be in the minority here.......
Most football supporters will say it's a game for softies, but the NFL is my preferred sporting entertainment

Cheers Tom

I'm not overly fussed about football. Take it or leave it. I mostly can't see why supporters become so invested in the success of 11 players running around a square of grass and kicking a sack.

It's the nation Vs nation element that's most compelling. I know it shouldn't be, because borders are arbitrary, but it adds a bit of spice.

The whole idea of spectator sport is somewhat bizarre, especially golf! If I'm engaged in sport at all I'd rather be doing it myself (running, cycling, climbing, maybe even badminton or football) than watching it. Strange.
