Euro 2016

[Capt. Sir Dominic Flandry]

Who is enjoying Euro 2016 - the European football championships being held in France.

There have been a few drawbacks such as the hooliganism and England's hideous kit.

The groups:

[Capt. Sir Dominic Flandry]

It is Spain v Italy in the first knockout round.

Northern Ireland qualified for the next round too, so they did.

[Capt. Sir Dominic Flandry]

England lost to Iceland in their worst result ever since losing to the US in the 1950s.

Semi finals are Wales v Portugal and France v Germany.

Strange to see Wales in the semi final. England have been rubbish for years much to the annoyance of England fans, then Wales turn up in their first tournament since 1958 and get ti the semi-final!

[Capt. Sir Dominic Flandry]

Final Portugal 1-0 France after extra time. The tournament was ok but not a classic.

[The Saint 007]

The tournament was ok but not a classic.

Zaza's penalty kick was classic, though.

You can tell they are going to miss when they do a stupid run up. Looks like Big Sam for England. It can't get any worse.
